St. Therese, on her feast day

Back in January I sat on a chair and Father Pio Maria sat on a couch and talked to me about my life. We've been doing this every January for the past few years, and it's always a treasured time for me.

Lists on lists of girlie talk

It's likely I'm starved for some girlfriend time. These are the things swirling in my system that need to get out: MY HEART IS WRENCHED BECAUSE I TOOK OUT MY CARTILAGE RING AND NOW I CAN'T GET IT BACK IN. Only out for 24 hours and it's swollen shut.

BUT on Tuesdays my usual hangout (St. Al's) sometimes merely offers a Communion Service...which is nice...but last Tuesday I needed more plus the sacramental grace of confession. So, I headed out to a further-away parish across the city's center.Continue reading "On the strange grace that is Godly friendship"

Time for more: What SHE Wore Wednesday!

Today I present: The Artsy Writer! She's probably the top-commenter on the blog (besides my mom?), and we hang out in real-life-time, too. So I was ready for her to style some vintage-y kicks on the blog sometime! Here she is: Choosing an outfit for a long day of teaching on a hot Indian SummerContinue reading "Time for more: What SHE Wore Wednesday!"
