Little Ways
A recent article about Pope Francis and St. Therese of Lisieux has been on my mind since I read it a few days ago. Though I’m not Catholic, I’m fascinated by the Saints and, thanks to my employer, I have a lot of love for many aspects of the church. Until now, I’d never heard…
2015!
A visit to the Magic Tree to start the new year….not too shabby!
Simply Beautiful
Normally I would post a series of photos to share our visit to a holiday display. However, I don’t want to diminish this with filler. This photo is everything I could possibly say about our visit to The Way of Lights at Our Lady of the Snows. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the…
Oh, Come ON.
Apple, what are you doing to me here?? Don’t play a spot like this during a professional football game. Especially when I’m trying to appear interested in this sport in front of my sons. Oh, my feelers felt that one. I just bawled like a two-year old. In all seriousness, watch this video. With tissues. Well done, Apple. This…

Self-Reflection: Meaning and Purpose
“The meaning of life is to find your gift.The purpose of life is to give it away.” – William Shakespeare I read this quote earlier this week and it’s served as a reflection ever since. What is my gift? Am I giving it away? Have I found meaning? Am I fulfilling my purpose? Honestly, this was…
Today I remembered…

Life Lately
Been traveling quite a bit for work lately, bringing into sharp focus my total disdain for flying. Has nothing to do with being away from home or the work itself; I like adventures and I’m blessed with the sweetest colleagues I could possibly ask for. It really boils down to the physical process of flying: going…
