This is my Camino. Welcome.
You know that one understanding where you know that everyone's life experience/ reflections are different that yours, but, most of the time you don't think about that too much? "Yes" to this on my end, at least. But, every now and again, I will go into reflection-mode and realize, really, how individual my experience is.... Continue Reading →
One million years ago, when I was young, I went to Australia with thousands of other youths, because the Pope had invited us. I did things there. Saw kangaroos. Ate lamington (U.S. GET ON YOUR SPONGE CAKE/ CHOCOLATE COATING/ COCONUT GAME)/ Weetabix/ Tim Tams (obvi, this is prior to being diagnosed gluten-free). Also, it... Continue Reading →
I have a few friends who are coming to the realization that, hey, maybe the foods they've been eating for years (looking at you, gluten) might be harming their bodies instead of helping them; tearing their bodies apart instead of nourishing them; leading their bodies to lonely places like late-nite drugstore aisles and toilets-at-parties* instead...

I don't have words at the moment. So, here are images. 🙂 My car's (THE NEW CAR!!) check engine light came on yesterday and I just about cried...that kind of week, ya'll. So, I went to adoration instead of crying (all about those healthy choices), and today my dad was like, "the internet says this... Continue Reading →
Oh friends. And friends and friends. I went. I went on retreat. It was lovely. Sometimes I'll be somewhere and I'll realize: this is exactly right. I'm exactly myself, exactly where I need to be. Marytown (the retreat center) is one of those places. Thank you for your prayers while I was away. AND NOW... Continue Reading →

The son was four or five, like Josh. And they played together for a... Continue Reading →
Remember when I was going to post gluten-free recipes on this here blog? And then three hundred years passed and I didn't? I apologize for that. Now, I have a cousin who started a new food blog. Yay! More recipes. And she even posted one that was meat-free/ gluten-free, so I decided to test it... Continue Reading →
Happy 4th of July! Here's a super quick/ easy recipe for flour-free banana muffins. Found this one on the internet. Thanks, internet! We had extra, browning bananas...which is what inspired me to look for something to make. Also! Tip for those making these for someone with a gluten-intolerance: make sure you use gluten-free oats. Most... Continue Reading →
^This is what you'll actually be making if you follow this recipe. And they will be delicious. And you might give yourself a sugar rush. I made two kinds of cookies this weekend--both gluten-free. And then I submitted them to a series of taste tests...namely: my work, my sister's work, and the people at my... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, a Thursday, I lectored. This is standard. What's not standard is the never-ending beauty in the Bible. So, this: We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another... And I was like,... Continue Reading →
