Sometimes I try to appeal to an audience, other times it’s just, “Hey, here are my internal, private, vulnerable thoughts that probably don’t relate to you and your current life-situation.” That’s kind of where we are tonight. Also, I think I’m going to steal two of Julia’s images. So I’ll dedicate this to her, justContinueContinue reading “Thanksgiving, Camino, Question marks. #Wonder”

Things that are beautiful.
I had a phenomenal literature teacher in high school, the kind whose words stick with me, daily popping into my thought-pattern. This is grace. He was a pastor in Detroit, “pastor” but not “priest,” FYI; but sometimes he would remind me, (sometimes), that his oldest sister was a nun, and one of his earliest memoriesContinueContinue reading “Things that are beautiful.”
Refresh
But, this morning, today, I’d ask that you refresh your mindset Remind yourself of this: That Jesus Christ wills for your good, Your well-being, He desires a beloved wholeness for you, His friend. Otherwise it’s too easy For your mind To be sucked into different places Where you face the future with Fear and apprehension,ContinueContinue reading “Refresh”
Is she working on any projects at the moment. COUGH. OF COURSE.
I’m working on things. This is who I am as a person, generally, and sometimes I just gotta TELL THE THINGS, and I was going to text this one dewd like, “LISTEN TO ALL OF THE REASONS WHY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT,” because I had already told (and I count, mentally)ContinueContinue reading “Is she working on any projects at the moment.

4 quick, unrelated reflections on Mary
Oh, hai. Even if you don’t understand Marian devotion, I have a Marian devotion, and we can talk more about it later if you want, but, for now, I’m just going to jump in with some short things, all disconnected, about Mary. I’ve been loving them. Let’s jump in! These don’t connect, but here theyContinueContinue reading “4 quick, unrelated reflections on Mary”
This is my prayer life
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”
Three reminders about you and your spiritual life
Two Sundays back, in the dark evening, I drove to the close-church because they have a chapel and Jesus is there PERPETUALLY and I was ready for that party, yo. I ran into my youngest brother, though, leaving church and he was like, “Mom said that I should go see this speaker who is presentingContinueContinue reading “Three reminders about you and your spiritual life”
For all my ladiez
I don’t always post art on the internets. Because I’m not as brave as other artists. So, when I do, it’s because I’m being for real. This one first: Once it was someone’s birthday. And he had remembered my birthday and he teased me for not remembering his, so I told him I’d take himContinueContinue reading “For all my ladiez”
Grandparents and faith
Last Sunday was Grandparent’s day, which, let’s be real, is probably a Hallmark holiday. But, I’m Catholic and it doesn’t take much of an excuse to get me to celebrate, so that’s just that. My father had a set of parents. His mother died when I was young, so young that memories of the newsContinueContinue reading “Grandparents and faith”
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”
