--- 1 --- Have you ever thought about doing something for a few weeks, but then, in a fit of adrenaline actually bit the bullet then sat back and thought, "Did I really just do that?" So. As of last night, I have a ticket to Colorado the first week of April. For a silent... Continue Reading →
Mind-blowing St. Max reflection, part dos
Three words. I first read these on the information sent from my New Year's Retreat. And I was like, "YES." From our friend St. Max himself, guys, "Love alone creates." That's the sound of my brain exploding once again. I love this quote. Please, humor me for the next three months, ponder this and then... Continue Reading →
What I Wore Wednesday
Let's just come right out and say it, right? Vest, vest, veeeeeest!! I raided the costume closet again. I'm telling you this because I believe in honesty. And humility, I guess. My excuse is the one I've made all year thus far and will CONTINUE TO MAKE even if it means I'm saying the same... Continue Reading →
Fabric-store fix to ease the winter pain
So, you can all hate me now, but I've never seen the movie "Groundhog Day." I did start watching it once many years ago but, everyone knows movie-watching is nowhere near my favorite pastime and when he dropped the toaster in the bathtub I was like, "Yeah, I'm not into this" so I shut the...

Anatomy of a Dinner Par-tay
Man oh man. I was trying to post once-a-day last week, ya'll. Really, I was. So I posted on Monday and Tuesday only. Lame-o. Reason why: I was prepping for a dinner party on Friday. So, Swim class on Wednesday and food shopping/ prep on Thursday and cooking/ entertaining on Friday did not bode well... Continue Reading →
Giggly things
Four things that have made me laugh. A list. First. This text from an UNREVEALED FRIEND: "Sometimes, I think that if someone else saw your texts, they'd think you'd been drinking." My response: "Sometimes I realize that if someone saw me/ overheard any of my convos/ watched my dance/ wondered how I matched my clothes,... Continue Reading →
Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3
Show me a people who have known deep suffering, and I'll show you a people who know how to talk to God, plead with God, walk with God, praise God. Show me a young girl singing to Jesus and I will honestly show you an auditorium of grown men crying. (Yes. That happened). Sing and... Continue Reading →
Things we love…on Valentine’s Day!
Today I came across people and I asked them, "What do you love? What can you tell me you love today, Valentine's Day?" And this is what they said. My parents: very devout and the influential people to me My older brother, John: really smart and always offers sound advice My niece, Giovanna: really cute,... Continue Reading →
Faces y places
Supposed to be What-I-Wore-Wednesday, I know. But I'm just wearing a million winter clothes in a million layers and my BUSINESS hat because: Valetine-y business in the city! 🙂 We've been having some fun, and here are some photos. First of all, I was looking back in the archives of the ol' blog. This was... Continue Reading →
Reflection on St. Max which has been blowing my mind since December
Really, it has. I'm sure you all remember Brother Thomas: Right? I see this kid on the New Year's Retreat. This year I was supposed to be solemnly in line for confession, but the lines were long and our eyes kept meeting and he was making weird faces at me until finally I was like,... Continue Reading →
