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. He gave me a bunch of things to do to improve in holiness,Continue reading "St. Therese, on her feast day"
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. This wrenches my heart because IContinue reading "Lists on lists of girlie talk"
A post full o’ love!
Guys! Hello! Yesterday was a very special day...the birthday of the blog! One year old! I want to say that I'm floored by the follows, the comments, the times when people say things like, "So, I saw in your blog..." Thank you. Thanks for following (I don't even know most of you in real-life! Man,Continue reading "A post full o’ love!"
Super short reflection!
When I was a little kid I would like to a radio program called "Adventures in Oddessy" where the main character was named "Mr. Whittaker" and he ran an ice cream shop called "Whit's End" where he would basically have adventures and tell kids about Jesus. In all of their publications, Whit looked something likeContinue reading "Super short reflection!"
Life/ Camino Word Vomit. Blah blah blah. Love, Me.
I don't think it's a huge surprise to say to you guys, "Hey, I have a massive internet crush on John Blase's poetry." (Side note: I also check One Page Love Story every day. But now it's finished. See? I have a leetle bit of heart. But it's kind of like the size of theContinue reading "Life/ Camino Word Vomit. Blah blah blah. Love, Me."
What sort of woman
Here's a better reflection than I'll ever write on today's reading. Love, Me. In other news, this is the line that I ponder: "When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, 'If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who isContinue reading "What sort of woman"
La la la What I Wore Wednesday
Yeeeah, so these were taken on Tuesday. Bite me, no worries, mate. It was a cute outfit. Actually, super Colleen-centric, which is fitting since it's her MARRIAGE WEEK and all. The skirt she found whilst we were out secondhand shopping and she was like, "I think these are your colors" and I was like, "Oh,Continue reading "La la la What I Wore Wednesday"
On the strange grace that is Godly friendship
On Tuesdays I like to go to mass. Heck, I like going to mass most days. 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"
On being Sanguine
On Sunday the computer in our living room started acting weird, loading much slower than normal, etc. I didn't think much of this and went about my day. Monday morning I logged on to check my email and the start-up process took longer than I had. So, I went to work, did my thing andContinue reading "On being Sanguine"
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!"
