Relationships are born from sharing. It is where emotional intimacy is created. Society today has a love-hate relationship with technology. But it may be more important to embrace these advances while empowering yourself and making them fit into your life. They are here to stay and no different than the previous generation complaining about the dangers…

I love sending thank you cards. In fact, I just love sending cards. I do not need a reason. Throughout the years I have always believed in the value of the written word. I am, after all, a writer.  Recently, I have felt the need to discover other meaningful avenues to say thank you.  In the…

I punch the keys and sip my coffee. Tears find their way down my cheeks. I dab at them as my chocolate lab Hazel snuggles closer to my feet. I find myself chuckling. In between the tears, that is. I am editing my own work. Am I that good I writer I could move myself…

They signify hope in times of despair and hopelessness. Not only for their faithful intercession but because of the tremendous suffering the saints endured while never abandoning their devotion to God. When praying to…

I lost my mom when I was just twenty-eight years old but rest assured if the chips are down my Catholic mother comes knocking. When I am overly stressed, confused, burdened, or lost I cling to her example. It might be daily mass, her favorite prayer, praying for a sign, or calling on the saints.…

I have a secret. One I could never force myself to pound out on these keys until I felt the tide turning. It was in the infancy of this unraveling of a marriage process. I remember the exact moment. I know just where my youngest baby stood when he uttered those words. “You’re different,” he…
