Shared Tomatoes

---

Shared Tomatoes is a collection of stories about the places where grace meets us in everyday life.
These pieces were born from years of listening, noticing, and honoring the small moments that shape a heart—moments of kindness, memory, loss, healing, and unexpected joy.

This book is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and remember the sacredness woven through the ordinary.

Inside these pages, you’ll discover:

• Stories of family and tradition
• Reflections on vocation, presence, and identity
• Moments of grief and moments of grace
• Encounters that changed the way I understand generosity
• The quiet whisper of God in the everyday

Each chapter ends with a gentle question—an invitation to pause, breathe, and reflect.

This book grew out of a season of rediscovery, as I transitioned from a lifetime of work as a physician into a new calling as a writer and Spiritual Director.
Writing these stories helped me see the threads of God’s presence that had been with me all along.

My hope is that these stories help you notice those threads in your own life.
