Happy leap day! The special bonus day that we get once every four years to put everything in balance. You don’t think today is special? I woke up, that’s pretty special to me! I feel like I spend time sometimes thinking about what I would do with a bunch of “extra” time. Bake, read, sleep… Continue reading It’s leap day! What will you do with the bonus time?

Lord, bless the mess!
I went to a Christian concert on Sunday night, it was in a church so it felt more like a church service than a concert in many ways, we prayed, we sang, and we prayed some more. The singer was talking about how Bible verses that we hear in different times of life hit us… Continue reading Lord, bless the mess!
Change happens in a moment…what will you do?
Do you ever feel like there are so many moving parts in your life that it’s overwhelming? I feel that way, in this moment. There are things I have control over and some I do not- that’s normal, but I am not a fan of lots of unknowns. Moving parts and changing circumstances bring the… Continue reading Change happens in a moment…what will you do?
When you are feeling uncertain, do angels appear?
I believe in angels. I know they are real, in human and in divine form, but the sighting is not always clear, until it is. This week, I received a message of reassurance and comfort, I will tell you about it and perhaps you will see a message that I do not….yet. The other night… Continue reading When you are feeling uncertain, do angels appear?
Do you love your neighbor? Who is your neighbor?
Have you already had your fill of “love” for the month? I admit that I enjoy sending holiday cards to family and friends, because who doesn’t enjoy getting some mail? Let’s face it, it’s really easy to love the people you like, but what about the people you don’t like? You know exactly the ones… Continue reading Do you love your neighbor? Who is your neighbor?
Do you see the possibilities?
What is happening in your life right now? Life is a series of ups, downs, and twists and turns. It can be a roller coaster of highs and lows. It’s all about your perspective in the moment. Are you seeing obstacles or opportunities? I admit freely that I used to see all the problems in… Continue reading Do you see the possibilities?
How did you get to the path you are on?
Do you ever contemplate how you ended up where you are right now? Is it the right place for you, or is it just the right place for you right now? Each step on our journey is temporary- it may seem like an eternity, but it’s only one stop. You can only get stuck if… Continue reading How did you get to the path you are on?
Lent is coming, what are you giving up?
When I was a kid, I used to dread Lent coming. It’s 40 days of fasting from something, no meat on Fridays, and a somber, reflective time. I remember having to think hard about what I was giving up and not really taking it seriously because I did not see the point. “Because we are… Continue reading Lent is coming, what are you giving up?
St. Bernadette, she’s one of my fave’s
Today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous 18 times, the first time on February 11, 1858. It had to have been cold that day in the Pyrenees mountains and Bernadette “heard something in the wind” that made her want to cross the river to the grotto, where Mary… Continue reading St. Bernadette, she’s one of my fave’s
Holy (or God) moments
There are moments in our lives that can only be described as holy. Sometimes I hear people calling them “God moments” I have no other words to describe them. It’s the moment that is so divinely perfect, that a human could not have possibly arranged. Some are as simple as people letting me in on… Continue reading Holy (or God) moments
