Santa Catalina Arch, Antigua, Guatemala

May 31, 2011

If you spend any amount of time in Antigua, you will certainly walk down 5a Avenida where you see the Arco de Santa Catalina. It was originally built to be a walkway for the nuns of the Santa Catalina Convent to cross over to the school. It is not open to the public, as the convent now houses a beautiful hotel and the school across the street has been modified as private residences and a bed & breakfast.

A Little About Me

My name is Jill. I’m a writer, deep thinker and on a quest to BE PRESENT and BE LOVE. I’m an ex-churchgoer. I’ve lived in 27 different places in my life. I was once an island dweller and I’ve been a pioneer in a handful of start-up organizations in the USA, Switzerland, and Honduras. Oh and I should mention that I was a real 40-yr-old virgin when I came out. I hope to validate others experiences in abusive churches by sharing my stories and truths. I want you to leave here thinking differently and honoring that still small voice within you.
