About Brenda

Brenda was born in Minnesota and grew up in a loving Christian home where she made the decision to put the Lord first in her life at age eight. After college in Chicago, she moved to Seattle to start her career as a registered nurse. As someone who loves to keep learning, Brenda has had many ‘careers’ within healthcare. She has been married to Jim for more than thirty-five years. They have two sons, one residing nearby and one in heaven. She is a long-time member of Newport Covenant Church where she serves on the elder board. She is a songwriter and has written a musical inspired by the Book of Ruth titled “A Time to Live” (see BrendaGiordano.com for more information). Brenda lives in Bellevue, Washington, which is in the far northwest corner of the United States, about three hours from the Canadian border. She enjoys traveling, is a modest (and mostly fumbling) gardener, and loves walking, which she does most days. She is a member of the spiritual direction associations of ESDA, the Association of Covenant Spiritual Directors (national), and the Spiritual Directors Network of the Pacific Northwest Conference of the Covenant Church.
