A call from Fr. Pio Maria–expressed in gifs

SO. Remember that yesterday I was going to go to bed at a reasonable hour? I DIDN’T. I’m an adult. I can make decisions like this. BESIDES, I got a phone call. (The gifs might load slow…if you have a slow internets connection). Phone call from: Father Pio Maria. Cue all that is good inContinueContinue reading “A call from Fr. Pio Maria–expressed in gifs”

A Day of Play…in May.

Self-promote? Who? Me? On my own blog? Never. Cough. But! In YOUR interest, here’s something really, really cool which you should think about: Play in a Day. What, what, what is this insanity, you ask? Basically, I’ve invited some of the most disgustingly-talented people I know to gather. I’m just going to throw them togetherContinueContinue reading “A Day of Play…in May.”

Post of happy things. Like smiles and laughter and silly shrugs.

My past few days have been full of my car failing and failing and failing again and my hair getting to that point of “HAIRCUT. NEEDS. TO. HAPPEN” but I’m trying to get the cut to wait another week and my body being like, “Is this a good time for a cold? Maybe? I thinkContinueContinue reading “Post of happy things.

Retreat recap…in photos!

Bedtime is fast approaching and calling my name! I must work and work fast! Here’s a recap of the beautiful, beautiful women I was privileged to spend time with on our Ladies Lenten retreat this past weekend…along with some of the quotes from our speakers. (Sorry to Julia and Maria whose talks I loved butContinueContinue reading “Retreat recap…in photos!”

Love and priests and the look of love

I’ve written about priests before, I know and I know, but I’m here to briefly do it again. By an oversight on my part I went to mass twice on Monday–once by blessed force-of-habit at noon time, and then again in the evening because some dear folks asked me to lead Prayers of the FaithfulContinueContinue reading “Love and priests and the look of love”

Three things on (Fat) Tuesday

Let’s see if I can get this done in SEVEN MINUTES! I’ll RACE THE CLOCK! -1- First of all: today is Fat Tuesday everywhere and Paczki Day in Detroit. Paczki are jelly-filled doughnuts special to the Polish tradition: let’s use up the fat, lard and sugar before the fasts of Lent start! As I’m GF,ContinueContinue reading “Three things on (Fat) Tuesday”

Getting ready for a retreat

Maybe I’ll just talk about my life since it’s my blog…or something. This Friday starts what we’ll call “Lenten Retreat.” I’ve said before that I’m excited, and I’ll break it down a little more. 1. I’m throwing it with friends. 2. I really like the schedule. We have so many things these days…but you knowContinueContinue reading “Getting ready for a retreat”

Anatomy of a Dinner Par-tay

Man oh man. I was trying to post once-a-day last week, ya’ll. Really, I was. So I posted on Monday and Tuesday only. Lame-o. Reason why: I was prepping for a dinner party on Friday. So, Swim class on Wednesday and food shopping/ prep on Thursday and cooking/ entertaining on Friday did not bode wellContinueContinue reading “Anatomy of a Dinner Par-tay”

Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3

Show me a people who have known deep suffering, and I’ll show you a people who know how to talk to God, plead with God, walk with God, praise God. Show me a young girl singing to Jesus and I will honestly show you an auditorium of grown men crying. (Yes. That happened). Sing andContinueContinue reading “Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3”
