4 quick, unrelated reflections on Mary

Oh, hai. Even if you don’t understand Marian devotion, I have a Marian devotion, and we can talk more about it later if you want, but, for now, I’m just going to jump in with some short things, all disconnected, about Mary. I’ve been loving them. Let’s jump in! These don’t connect, but here theyContinueContinue reading “4 quick, unrelated reflections on Mary”

What I Wore Wednesday: those same maroon tights :)

Yesterday Julia came over and we talked about the lack-of-sunlight and how we’re already feeling it. “I ask people at school,” said Julia, “I ask, ‘How are you preparing for the winter?’ and they say, ‘Hm, I haven’t really thought about that’ and I say, ‘YOU’RE LATE! It’s winter! Starting thinking!'” Until last winter, IContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: those same maroon tights :)”

Josh quotes. “Why you wanna count my money?”

Last Saturday was an all-hands-on-deck kind of experience for the basement project after all da flooding. I was in charge of painting trims, but I finished quickly, so I transitioned into painting the bathroom with Josh. Oh, gosh. This one. This youngest one with the sense of humor that only the baby in a familyContinueContinue reading “Josh quotes. “Why you wanna count my money?””

Talk to me about: things Young Adults need

Guided by a singular Hail Mary and local-mall-food-court dinner, Kathryn-of-the-quizibrow and I met to talk about something. (OH MY GOSH, I JUST REMEMBERED: I WAS EVEN WEARING MY MADELINE DRESS. But, I took off the red tie and wore heels so: I don’t think anyone noticed. Except Kathryn. And the Apple-store guy all, “I loveContinueContinue reading “Talk to me about: things Young Adults need”

Wearing. What I am.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done this, right? Right. And that’s kind of two-fold, the two folds being: The, “hey, I look like this” posts always hit me as a little weird and I’ve been hardcore volunteering/ Jesus-y things all day on Wednesdays now (crack about Protestant Wednesday-night-service? I will not go there. But IContinueContinue reading “Wearing. What I am.”

This is my prayer life

There are days when I feel like Running into the office of the Almighty And holding up a list and saying, “You see?? These are all of the things I don’t know how to do, All of the answers I don’t have, All of my inadequacies and insecurities!” And, in my mind, I would standContinueContinue reading “This is my prayer life”

Three reminders about you and your spiritual life

Two Sundays back, in the dark evening, I drove to the close-church because they have a chapel and Jesus is there PERPETUALLY and I was ready for that party, yo. I ran into my youngest brother, though, leaving church and he was like, “Mom said that I should go see this speaker who is presentingContinueContinue reading “Three reminders about you and your spiritual life”

Hooray! You’re a human!

There’s a giaaaaaaaaaaaaant art festival a few hours away from my house. And a few weeks ago I pinkie-promised a one Juli-YEAH that I would go. And that’s serious business. Two weekends back was the last weekend for the full art show. Have you ever been in a place where you know you should go…butContinueContinue reading “Hooray! You’re a human!”

Warm wishes from your favorite ENFP

Sorry I haven’t posted, baby-blog!! I kind of feel like writing ten articles today and back-posting them so it appears I’ve been on-the-ball, even though I haven’t. Anyway. I read this article yesterday, “25 struggles only ENFPs will understand,” because I am probably the biggest sucker for all things personality-quiz. Really. I even read allContinueContinue reading “Warm wishes from your favorite ENFP”
