There’s been a lot going on

When I drove back from Chicago I called my priest-friend (crying) (bless him) All, “How do I do this?” And “this” meant life in general And he agreed to pray for me “For an hour, if you need it” So we prayed. He asked God to give me patience And I thought that was kindContinueContinue reading “There’s been a lot going on”

Summahtime: a night in the life

(The plant going all of the ways is actually parsley, though. The lavender is in the bag, still). And there you have it–tonight in a few snapshots. 🙂 ❤

No ready models | Re: body image

Even though the trend is probably almost done anyway, I’m still slightly drawn to the idea of colored pants. Red slacks, jean-cut, in particular. So, I try them on when I see them. But, they never seem quite right. That’s where I was, a few weeks ago, red pants in hand, ready to buy ifContinueContinue reading “No ready models | Re: body image”

For Father’s Day. (Belated).

Happy Father’s Day. Father’s day is a reflection on, well, fatherhood, isn’t it? And some just really lucked out. And, congrats. Congrats and Happy Father’s Day and Hallmark cards and photo slide-shows and BBQ’s and all, to the kids with great dads, great memories, great throwback pics. And love to those dads who were alwaysContinueContinue reading “For Father’s Day. (Belated).”

I went to Chicago and stuff

Remember how I was going to be recreating and stuff? I did. I went to IL and Chicago and saw friends and fam. Want to see about ten pictures with limited amounts of text? Why, your wish is my command! We got too late to the grocery store, though. So we relied on our reservesContinueContinue reading “I went to Chicago and stuff”

5 things to say to people who wear the wrong things to mass

This was kind of inspired by a post I saw on the good ol’ FB. The post was like, “Ways to improve your etiquette at mass–you’ve probably never heard of these!!11!!” Now, I don’t know that I’m really a click-bait-y type of girl, but I am kind of interested in improving my life, and IContinueContinue reading “5 things to say to people who wear the wrong things to mass”

Recreation time

I went to mass last week and we sang the song about the morning that has broken, like the first morning, and we praised God for the “recreation of the new day.” Recreation is an interesting word. Because it mostly conjures up images of play-time. The beach and camping and what not. Or, maybe not.ContinueContinue reading “Recreation time”

Things I find interesting!! Discuss, discuss, discuss!

HALLO. So. Sometimes I come across things that stretch me, but maybe there doesn’t seem to be enough meat to include in a blog post. BUT. What if I just include several points? And then you can comment on every one, if wanted, or just one. Or whatever. It’s your internet, too. Drum-roll! Trumpets! MayContinueContinue reading “Things I find interesting!!

Le update

Once I went to this church-talk by this dewd I know who is really cool and also happens to be in seminarian for bonus-cool points. He was telling us some stories about his life, and one was that he went to this high-security prison to minister to the inmates and what not. Anyway, this oneContinueContinue reading “Le update”

Someone asked me what I wanted

That one friend asked me what I wanted and I said I didn’t know and he got awful fired up, “OH MY GOSH,” he said, with his exasperated-voice, “Go and figure out what you want.” So…I started. I want time for prayer. I want time in nature. I want slow days and beautiful, unwinding adventure.ContinueContinue reading “Someone asked me what I wanted”
