How Many Mothers?
with Lia Segerblom
Music by Doug Kinnear
/
Do you see your mother as a heroic figure? Many of us would say yes, but we are not exactly impartial. Lia Segerblom’s mom, however, would qualify as a hero by anyone’s definition of the word.
Olga Rasmussen, born in Denmark in the 1920’s, experienced the German occupation of her country during her adolescence. At the age of 19, she used her wits and physical strength to avoid deportation by the Nazis not once but twice, living in hiding in between.
On Sunday, Lia will share details of her mother's harrowing escapes and other extraordinary experiences. She encourages you to bring your own mother, or a photo of her, to the service.
As a teenager, Lia's mother introduced her to many spiritual paths including The Inner Peace Movement, Concept Therapy, and Science of Mind. She attended several Churches of Religious Science over the years as a student, as she lived in so many different places.
Art has also been an integral part of Lia's life path. She has worked as a professional portrait painter and as a photographer. She earned a degree in photography from Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. She opened her own studio in Orange County, which she ran successfully for 33 years.
Lia was widowed in 2022, took a year to regroup, then bought a one-way ticket to Hawaiʻi Island. She has always lived from a spiritual perspective, and moving to Hawaiʻi had been a dream and goal for 38 years. Now, having lived in South Kona for 2-1/2 years, she feels she is living the life of her dreams.
A member of New Thought Center since 2023, Lia is currently serving as vice president of the board of trustees.
