Dewd. So, I wrote this but then was out too late fulfilling social obligations to post in a timely matter. Whatever. It's Friday. La la la. --- 1 --- Yesterday we had a lovely gathering for people who walked the Camino with us...both this past summer and the past time around. Bob provided a lovelyContinue reading "Seven Quick Takes–a mid-August edition!"
Happy Colonoscopy!
Soooo one of my super awesome coworkers is going in for the party that is a medical procedure. Woo hoo. I made said-coworker this card, utilizing e-card magic and my own sense of humor. I expect a call from Hallmark any day now.
Monday, Monday. Wherein I ask for input.
I was walking around the city today and I came across this man who talked to me about gluten-free Matzoh and cold soups and kosher deli-meat. His name is Sandy. We were both sitting outside listening to some jazz at an outdoor stage when he inquired about the soup I was eating (recipe link, thanksContinue reading "Monday, Monday. Wherein I ask for input."
Confessions of a Reluctant Devotee
Blah, blah, blah. I started typing out the history of my faith life just now. But I bored myself and figured that wasn’t a good sign. Someday if we meet in real-life, real-time, we should go out for gluten-free pizza and talk about our experiences of faith and I’ll elaborate there. But, not here. InsteadContinue reading "Confessions of a Reluctant Devotee"
My friend, St. Maximilian Kolbe
Today is the Feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe. It snuck up on me, it did. I know that his Feast day is August 14th, but I finish my Marian Consecration tomorrow and so I was focused on that instead of thinking about today. And yesterday as I sat at the kitchen table with ChristineContinue reading "My friend, St. Maximilian Kolbe"
So, Camping was fun!
Thanks for your well-wishes, oh friends and blog-readers! Camping was a great decision (even though I didn’t have time to clean my shower this weekend. Small matters). We arrived on Friday, after having gotten ourselves lost not once but twice. We being my sister and I. We drove into the campsites in her car, scanningContinue reading "So, Camping was fun!"
Stretching
GASP! Picture of yoga! There's controversy over yoga in Christian circles, ya'll. And since it's no surprise that I'm Catholic, I know about this. Still sorting through it all. 🙂 Anyway! I went and yoga'ed and snapped this shot of Jessica as we were wrapping up. Is there a rule against snapping yoga-pictures? I feelContinue reading "Stretching"
Life update: exhausted
When I decided I wanted to come back from the Camino and "hit the ground running" I guess I was way underestimating how fast I would need to run...and what distance. On Sunday I decided I would go to mass and then leave on an intense bike ride and go hiking and be outside andContinue reading "Life update: exhausted"
Insight into my brain as I lector
Today's reading reads like poetry. "Moses did exactly as the LORD had commanded him." Would that the same could be said of us. (Too bad I am still working out most of my fears). "On the first day of the first month of the second year the Dwelling was erected." What they're saying is: itContinue reading "Insight into my brain as I lector"
On Koalas, bedbugs…and true love
One time I was walking along the Camino de Santiago through a eucalyptus forest with Julia and Christine and Matt and Marcus. Marcus is a trained mountain man/ lumberjack and we said, "Tell us about these trees, Marcus." But he just gave us a vague description and I said, "That's not what I meant." SoContinue reading "On Koalas, bedbugs…and true love"
