Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.
Building Bridges
So Saturday I had the opportunity to present a workshop at a conference in our diocese. What a great opportunity to truly glimpse God! So many people, all working toward the same end. All putting their energies into being the hands and feet of Christ here and now. In addition, I was able to sit…
Say Something Nice
I saw this video today and wanted to share. I think it is great to see how people react when they are allowed to be their true selves to the world. If you notice, for some the natural reaction is to “say something nice”. I think a good goal everyday is to take a moment,…
10 Years Later
Here is a video of James Martin Sj who had first hand experience of the aftermath of the events of 9/11. There is a moment in the video where I am certain that Christ was present to all who were wounded mentally, spiritually and physically. To those who were given last rites by the many…

St. Ignatius
Fr. James Martin shared this on his Facebook page and I thought it was a great short tutorial about who St. Ignatius was. It is really well done and beautiful to watch. I hope this finds all of my friends having a peaceful summer. I will be back soon! There is much to talk about! …

Happy Father’s Day
I am always amazed at the selflessness of good fathers. But I am not so sure I was aware of the concept of fatherhood being a “hidden” life since growing up, your father is so important. It has been in watching my own excellent husband as he has developed and continues to develop in his fatherhood…
