Things that have happened this past year, medically speaking: I’m now gluten-free I’m now meat-free So, yeah. That’ll change your life a little bit. I think there’s a level of spirituality behind these menu-options. But, I won’t go into that now. I also think there’s a level of spirituality behind well-made food that nourishes peopleContinueContinue reading “Tabbouleh-pasta salad (gluten free!)”

Year of Faith
Oooh WOWOWOWOWOW there are so many reasons why I’m like this right now: The Year of Faith starts today. Today we begin a year’s journey to carry us closer to Jesus. Thanks, Pope! And Holy Spirit! I plan on using this blog to present my personal journey. That’s been my plan from the beginning (aContinueContinue reading “Year of Faith”
People who have spoken Jesus to me
Three people, three separate occasions, one week. Person number one, the one who I didn’t really know. This one took me to lunch, and asked me intently about my life. She laughed with me about the characters of my play, together we ordered meat-free dishes (Friday!) and fries. Then our conversation shifted to the seriousContinueContinue reading “People who have spoken Jesus to me”
What I Wore Wednesday
I remember the first time I saw this light-khaki skirt (haHA! So much cliché!). I was shopping and it was hanging in the wrong section of the store, the men’s section, because a careless previous-shopper must have left it in the wrong spot.

On having St. Francis be your confirmation sponsor
When I was young and very young I was told to pick a saint for my confirmation. I picked St. Francis of Assisi because he was the patron saint of animals (did I mention I was young?). They say that when one picks a confirmation saint, not only are you inspired by that saint, butContinueContinue reading “On having St. Francis be your confirmation sponsor”
What I Wore Wednesday
I have this idea. It involves me sharing about articles of clothing that I wear and love. Problem: it seems a bit narcissistic. “Oh, hey internets! Check out my cool clothes!” Bother. I’m going to try this, anyway. This is something I wore. It is currently Wednesday. (I actually took the picture on Tuesday. SmallContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Guardian Angels
Today is the Feast of the Guardian Angels, and I have a memory to share. This is a story about being single and God’s timing. Once upon a time I went to college. I was single then (mostly), and I’m single now, too. Most of the time my attitude then was what it is now,ContinueContinue reading “Guardian Angels”
