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”

Forever grateful for holy priests
“Can you just remind me about Jesus?” I asked him. I asked because I know he knows Jesus. I know he’s talked to him, heard his words, dropped things and followed. I know he’s deeply familiar with the everlasting love. I know he radiates hope and joy and light, which means he’s given himself awayContinueContinue reading “Forever grateful for holy priests”
Realities > ideas
Last Advent I went on a small “retreat” where there were poems and reflections I read every day, and then I’d chat with a religious sister on the phone every evening. I think the point was to be like, “Hmmm, I could be a religious sister if I wanted!” but, that isn’t exactly a pathContinueContinue reading “Realities > ideas”
Here, I’ll make it easier on you
Here’s a list for you about my life. I thought about doing a weekend-recap, but I checked back on photos to try to jump-start my memory and…the best one was this llama photo. Yeah. List is is, eh? -1- I played against my oldest-brother-engineer in Scrabble this weekend and won, but we tied until theContinueContinue reading “Here, I’ll make it easier on you”
Dos poemas
Occasionally I write weirdo non-rhyming poetry, and sometimes I even share it here. This is one of those days. (Guinea pigs for anyone who can’t take it). =============================================================================================== Uno Dropping a balloon Sometimes there are two sides. And on one we have everyone and They’re saying, “smaller, smaller, smaller.” Because unknowns should apparently Be handledContinueContinue reading “Dos poemas”
My personal 15 Triduum favorites
This year I visited with friends and parted with, “Merry Triduum!” because I wasn’t sure of the correct greeting. But then a different friend wished me an “Epic Triduum” which fits better, doesn’t it? I didn’t take pictures of the events on Friday or Saturday. Sometimes it’s just better to be present than to rushContinueContinue reading “My personal 15 Triduum favorites”
Holy week time
It could be that maybe I didn’t transition well into talking and what not, but there are so many things that need to be done–and all of them good and worthy things, you know? In the next few days I need to… call the vet for the guinea pig (don’t worry, routine things) make butterContinueContinue reading “Holy week time”
Mind-blowing thinks about the Evangelical counsels
Once, when I was little and sharing the room with Christine (dewd, some things don’t change), she was not falling asleep and I could tell, so being the older/ wiser sister that I was/ am, I asked, “Christine what’s the matter?” She was like, “I don’t understand it! I know that God created everything, butContinueContinue reading “Mind-blowing thinks about the Evangelical counsels”
That one time St. Joseph broke it down for me
So, I started writing this on the feast of St. Joseph, but it ended up being too long. So, I’ve split it into a few posts to avoid TL;DR. Enjoy. The theme of this post is mustard yellow. Mustard yellow is different from the bright, lemon yellow or the straight Crayola variety; mustard yellow isContinueContinue reading “That one time St. Joseph broke it down for me”
The most blest among women
Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. In simpler terms: it’s the day we celebrate when the angel appeared to Mary and Mary gave her “yes.” In even simpler terms: 9 months prior to Christmas. The church knows what’s up, even though you might need to ask your mom. All I have to share isContinueContinue reading “The most blest among women”
