Touch is a central part of our lives. It’s one of our senses, it’s a way through which we experience the world. We hug in greeting or to comfort, we hold hands with kids so we don’t lose them in a crowd, and rub a baby’s back to soothe.

Do you underestimate people or do they underestimate you?
If we look through history, there are numerous examples of how artists, musicians, engineers, doctors, etc. were underappreciated, undiscovered, or underestimated in their lifetime. Have you ever thought about how that applies to Jesus? (or us by extension?) We have heard about it in the scripture, that people often questioned Jesus or wondered why a… Continue reading Do you underestimate people or do they underestimate you?
Who do you say I am?
Jesus asks the disciples this same question. The give Him all kinds of answers, a prophet, the Messiah, Son of God, etc. The charm here is that Jesus already knows who He is.

You may have kids or not, but I bet you are a mom to someone, even if you don’t know it. The two times I have moved to different states, I have always found a “mom” who would help in those instances when I needed it. When I moved to Atlanta, my car had issues,… Continue reading What kind of mom are you?
Where do you need to let go?
There have been times in my life where I would think to myself, Be Elsa today and just let it go. The problem here is not thinking about letting it go, it’s the actual letting go process. I sometimes find that I am holding a grudge or am keeping relationships or things in my life… Continue reading Where do you need to let go?
The spirit inside us…
Do you ever wonder about the seemingly random holidays we have each month? There is a day for everything, food, people, even movies. I bet some of you heard “May the 4th be with you” recently. That actually got me thinking…about what? About the spirit inside of us and what unites us as spiritual beings.… Continue reading The spirit inside us…
What’s your work?
Have you ever woken up and just felt that you need to do something? This morning I woke up and thought I should go to mass. It’s been awhile since I have been to daily mass. I used to go on my way to work, then I stopped working in a school, and no longer… Continue reading What’s your work?
