The Lord is waiting to show you His favor. He yearns to have pity on you, and happy are all who wait on Him. As you all know, I have a special devotion to our dear St. Therese. I pray for her intercession often, but only a few times have I asked for a particular favor...
...I wanted to share a link to the most thought provoking post I have read in a long time: Soul Food. I've been needing to take a look at my own blogging habits for awhile now, and reading and thinking about this post has been a great place to start. Thank you...
The other night I couldn't sleep so I stayed up (way too late) and was looking back through my old posts of 2008! WOW!! What a busy year... No wonder I am exhausted! In January I said Goodbye to my 20's and turned 30. Our family also participated in our local March...
As you have all probably noticed, I am not a very good writer. In fact, before my application to Christendom, I think that the last paper or essay that I had written was way back in 5th grade. It just wasn't something my mom made me do, and I was fine with that... It...

A couple weeks ago, I started reading the book It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff by Peter Walsh. It is so great, and is just what I had been searching for!For months now, I have been feeling slightly overwhelmed, and I knew I...
Since we were in town this morning, I decided to have my dear hairdresser check Chiquita's hair. She actually said that I did a "pretty good" job, and that I am my mother's daughter... That was a complement right? ;)Anyhow, as we were leaving, there was a little...
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
