It’s a chilly, damp Wednesday and my to-do list is far longer than I would like it to be. Mostly because I all but ignored it yesterday. Fatigue and arthritic pain have a way of putting a halt to my days. I tried upbeat music, some Netflix…sigh. It’s just one of those days. But even…
Remember when I said I was going to do one of these posts every Wednesday this month? Oh well… this turned into something different than originally planned, and is finally being completed. But hopefully, it will touch you in some way. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am continuing to keep myself focused on the…
It’s November 1st…All Saints Day! Bruce and I went to Mass this morning at Holy Family Church here in Danville, since it worked best with his work schedule. Beautiful hymns, beloved Scripture passages, heartfelt prayers, and even first class relics of some amazing Saints made it a wonderful way to start our day. I truly…
Today is Gabriel’s birthday. He would be 23 years old if he was still with us on this earth. 23! I am getting old. Just before I turned 23 years old, I moved to Danville for a six-month music therapy internship at the VA hospital. I had no intention of staying in this community, and…
Today, I am linking up to #WorthRevisit again with a post from three years ago. Today (September 8th), the Catholic Church celebrates the birth of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. In this post, I offer some of my limited understanding of this special feature of my Catholic faith. Be sure to check out other posts…
Dusting things off here, and what better way to do that then to link up with #WorthRevisit posts! This way, I don’t have to write anything new tonight…yay! This post was originally posted on September 11, 2016 and I felt it was timely for today. I will be linking up on Reconciled to You and Theology…
This past Sunday, Bruce and I attended a wonderful celebration: the Sesquicentennial of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rockville Indiana. Bruce was born in Belleville, IL but his family moved to Indiana when he was very young. His family eventually settled in Rockville, among the beautiful rolling hills and famous covered bridges of Parke County.…
A few days ago, my heart was heavy. I was a bit anxious with a dash of melancholy. I wanted to reach out to my friends, but due to the sensitive nature of my issue, combined with living in a small community, I knew I had to be vague. And so I asked for prayers…
Last week, I was blessed to attend the annual Heartbeat International Conference, held in Chicago. The theme was “On a Mission from God,” inspired by the classic 1980 film “The Blues Brothers.” We all received dark sunglasses for fun, and I swear I saw Elwood greeting people at the door! I attended many of these…
Today, I had a lot to do. Much of that is due to not getting things done last week. But at some point, I just need to catch up! I am heading to Chicago tomorrow to attend the annual Heartbeat International Conference. So, I needed to do laundry, pack…plus make some calls regarding next week’s…
