My Home

All Things Elda

I am more than the sum of my parts…

The Actor

I have acted for most of my life… some of it onstage.

The Storyteller

Child of God, daughter, sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, friend…

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all who wander are lost;

J.R.R. Tolkein

About Me

In J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved classic, “Lord of the Rings,” the name “Elda” is revealed to mean “of the stars.”

I like that…

I am Elda, fierce and loyal. I love performing, creating art in that moment where the actor engages the audience, brief though it may be. I love to laugh and make others laugh, for I believe laughter is a balm to a weary soul.

Similar to the Elves who sojourned in Middle Earth but longed for Valinor, I, as a follower of Jesus, also believe this is not my home. I, too, long for home, but realize my time is not yet come. So, while I wait, I seek to know and be known. Come let us sojourn together.
