I’ve been thinking about things and mulling over some of my go-to prayers and stories and saints as I move forward in my life a bit. (Hopefully. God, please, let’s be moving forward?) This prayer is one of my favorites, ascribed to St. Brendan the Navigator, a man who lived in Ireland from 484-577. AsContinueContinue reading “And then God asks us to do the terrifying”

What I Wore Wednesday: leopard and plaid. You know it.
What’s my word-of-the-month? Yes, you’re right, juxtaposition. Aaaaand, I totally already wore an almost-identical outfit once this month. But, hey, I loved it and it’s going again. The juxtaposition here is twofold. First: blue and red. Second: leopard and plaid. Yes. I love me some plaid skirts, harkening back to the Catholic schools I neverContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: leopard and plaid. You know it.”
Crinoline update
I owed you this on Monday. I know, I know. Here is where I was Friday morning: Here is where I was Friday evening: SUCCESS.

Kathryn post!
Hello my loves. I’ve been friends with Kathryn for some time, even though neither of us can remember when we first met each other. And we often talk about this and try to remember. But we never can. The most vivid of memories was that I somehow felt like Kathryn should be involved in aContinueContinue reading “Kathryn post!”
Celebrating.
When Josh was four or five he wandered to the athletic fields which border our yard and he found a dad striping the fields in preparation for the upcoming athletic season, and the dad had his son with him as well. The son was four or five, like Josh. And they played together for aContinueContinue reading “Celebrating.”

And, truth to be told, I think hipsters are darling. The jumper makes this outfit, I bought it a few weeks back at a rummageContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: the most hipster outfit”
