Sometimes it helps me to type things out

If you were to be like, “So, what do you love about the Camino?” …which you might not even be asking, but it’s not like I can read minds and I’m just typing thoughts anyway, I would probably tell you what I have told others before you. And that is that: I feel like theContinueContinue reading “Sometimes it helps me to type things out”

On Becoming More of Yourself (is that grammatically correct?)

I was standing on the corner of a busy road and a not-as busy road this weekend holding a sign about valuing life. And I was supposed to be silently praying, but then an old friend of mine walked over. He’s one of those people who is probably way too cool to talk to me,ContinueContinue reading “On Becoming More of Yourself (is that grammatically correct?)”

St. Therese, on her feast day

Back in January I sat on a chair and Father Pio Maria sat on a couch and talked to me about my life. We’ve been doing this every January for the past few years, and it’s always a treasured time for me. He gave me a bunch of things to do to improve in holiness,ContinueContinue reading “St. Therese, on her feast day”

What sort of woman

Here’s a better reflection than I’ll ever write on today’s reading. Love, Me. In other news, this is the line that I ponder: “When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, ‘If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who isContinueContinue reading “What sort of woman”

Stuff I’ve been working on

Here is a picture of Paul doing garbage stuff. This morning he took the trash out and this afternoon he took it back. No one asked. Bam. Adulthood. Thanks, Paw. Paul and I are the only normal-job ones in the Casa. My dad kind of counts, but he also kind of doesn’t considering he earns,ContinueContinue reading “Stuff I’ve been working on”

A list of things that are beautiful. By me.

I’m admittedly the only person on the internet who isn’t like, “Hooray, fall!!11! I love sweaters!!” because, while I respect your love of sweaters, I REALLY LIKE SLEEVELESS TANKS. I love going outside barefoot. I love feeling sunlight warm my skin. I love simple life and simple living. Summmmahtiiiime and the living in eaaasy! But,ContinueContinue reading “A list of things that are beautiful. By me.”

Confessions of a Reluctant Devotee

Blah, blah, blah. I started typing out the history of my faith life just now. But I bored myself and figured that wasn’t a good sign. Someday if we meet in real-life, real-time, we should go out for gluten-free pizza and talk about our experiences of faith and I’ll elaborate there. But, not here. InsteadContinueContinue reading “Confessions of a Reluctant Devotee”

More Camino

I was thinking about this yesterday: some time in the 1300’s there was a brother somewhere in Europe who copied the Bible by hand. And I have no idea what his name was. He is a forgotten person…but he handed down THE BIBLE. And then, sometime later, a different man made another copy. And thenContinueContinue reading “More Camino”

What song would you sing at the Visitation?

This week. Hit a few bumps on the let’s-take-twenty-people-to-Spain road. Over-committed to too many things (and therefore frustrated myself because I couldn’t accomplish all of them and emerge a functioning human being). Didn’t learn my lesson, though, and continued to say “yes”! This is me. So I go to confession all, “Hi. I’m really goodContinueContinue reading “What song would you sing at the Visitation?”
