On Monday a crew of people showed up at my little-church for noon:fifteen mass and I was like, “Hey.” And they were like, “We’re from Colorado on mission to Detroit.” So I was like, “Cool story, bro, I’m going to sit over here and pray.” Not really, but kind of. Then I saw them againContinueContinue reading “I met some missionaries!”

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”
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!!

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”
An urban parable
True story, bro. But, in parable form. Hollah. A road had some buildings. The buildings were stone and cement and concrete, and tightly compact. A wayfarer’s journey brought her to the front stoop of one of the buildings. A woman passed by and saw the wayfarer. “Do you know the man who works here?” TheContinueContinue reading “An urban parable”
The uppity ups and the downity downs. Such is community life.
Paul has mono. This is unfortunate. His voice sounds like maybe how your voice would sound if (1) you were trying to talk but also trying to gargle saltwater at the same time, so your mouth was full and your lips couldn’t close and your head was tilted back at an odd angle and (2)ContinueContinue reading “The uppity ups and the downity downs.

Hope and other things
Saturday was my birfday. My mom (and dad) gave me a ring that I saw earlier in the year. I mentioned to my mother that I liked it, that I wanted to buy it, and she was like, “Or, you can just wait for it…” So, I did. And then it was mine, on Saturday.ContinueContinue reading “Hope and other things”
On renewing my passport
I need to renew my passport, so I am, because I believe in traveling. I filled out the form and went to get my picture taken at an official place (an urban Walgreens which, upon cross-examination, didn’t carry the hair products I was looking for…mostly the aisle was full of products for thicker, textured hairsContinueContinue reading “On renewing my passport”
Easter-y things. <3
Father Pio called me. ❤ And he wished me, “…many, many, life-changing, heart-expanding Easter graces." Isn’t that lovely? And, so was Easter. Surprises and friends and prayer times. The best times. My favorite thing is the Easter Vigil. And it isn’t everyone’s favorite thing, but it is my favorite thing. Because I love listening toContinueContinue reading “Easter-y things. <3”
Holy Week Things
So. It’s Holy Week. On Sunday I leaned Against the dark-stained pew, Eyes closed, Reciting the sacred story With the faithful. There was a gold-gilt cross in the sanctuary, My favorite Lenten hymn, And moms standing with cameras When I walked in, Photographing their children altar-servers. Holy Week is so many things, So many experiences.ContinueContinue reading “Holy Week Things”
