So I was looking at my visitors last night…seeing what people have been reading and what not. It turns out people keep checking for updates on the “Frankendress.” So I thought to myself, “Self, I think you should let these fine people know what ended up happening with that dress.” And I will! I finishedContinueContinue reading “Frankendress closure and how my grandparents met <3”

What WE Wore Wednesday
A few months ago as the summer was leaning into fall my coworker, Jessica, and I walked back from the park where we ate our lunch. The sun was on our faces and in our steps as we decided to wear cyan the next Friday. Only Jessica forgot and I was the one who endedContinueContinue reading “What WE Wore Wednesday”
A Hopeful Tuesday
On Sunday my childhood parish (Catholic-speak for “church”) closed. For good. Some of my family went to the closing mass. I didn’t. I had attended a different parish that morning, but I drove by hoping to catch the end of the mass. Entering the church triggered a flood of memories. I meant to walk towardsContinueContinue reading “A Hopeful Tuesday”
To you, the children of my heart
To those who will be coming on the Camino with me (whether you know it or not): There are three things I want to tell you, but they don’t necessarily segue well, so I’m just going to use numbers. Point One: Jesus and Mary are pretty intense There’s this one story in the Bible whereContinueContinue reading “To you, the children of my heart”
What I Wore Wednesday
I have a sister who is my biggest advocate against ever appearing on the show “Hoarders.” I’m not saying I would be on the show if I didn’t know her, I’m just saying she’s the one who offers the vocal “DO IT” when I say, “I think I want to get rid of this” andContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Their hearts were moved with pity. Part II
Last night I read this: Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity.

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.
Friday was a day, ya’ll. One of those days where you’re like, “Wait, wait, is this really happening to me?” And not exactly in the good way, either…rather, the kind of way that promises to seep into your weekend and puke sewer water into your otherwise happy-weekend thoughts. And then I was emailed this picture:ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.”
An update on the “Frankendress”
So, usually I write about faith and stuff, right? Yes. Well, this is CONSUMING all of my energy and attention right now. Therefore I invite you to share with me that which has eaten my life. I promise we’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming soon. I originally said this dress would be calledContinueContinue reading “An update on the “Frankendress””
What I Wore Wednesday
By a show of hands, how many of you have ever gone shopping and ended up buying something completely different from what you had originally intended to buy? *Raises hand* Good. I’m glad we’ve had this talk. So, last summer I was acting/ directing/ choreographing/ costuming a really cool play with an incredibly awesome, inspiring,ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Lauren believes in me
Yesterday I wrote this on my friend Lauren’s Facebook wall: Everything written above is true: thought, encouragement, purchase. Done. Facts: I want to make a dress. I have green and black crepe. I need to sew like a maniac if I plan on being successful. I don’t mind deadlines, honestly. Plus: Lauren believes in me.ContinueContinue reading “Lauren believes in me”
