Ok, it’s time. I have been simultaneously working towards this and dreading it. The obligatory Biden and the Bishops post. Backstory: If you haven’t been consumed by the media on this, here’s the story: The USCCB, or US Conference of Catholic Bishops, voted last week on whether or not to draft a document on the...

Happy feast day of the Immaculate Conception! Today is the feast of Mary as the patroness of the USA, and the feast of her sinlessness. It's a beautiful feast for a million reasons, but it is specifically special for me because of what I have learned about her this year, and how I have seen... Continue Reading →
Dear Trump Supporters, I am so, so angry at you. Like so angry I would like to stand on a pedestal and scream unkind things at you. Why? Because I am scared out of my mind of what is happening in our country right now. The President fired the secretary of defense right after he... Continue Reading →

I never would have imagined that we would all be quarantined because of a worldwide pandemic,... Continue Reading →

Tonight, I am struggling to find the words to say, again. As this election season comes to a close, I feel sadness that this is where we are, and fear that by the end of the week we will be in a war. Donald Trump and his followers are fighting to keep as many people... Continue Reading →
I have been low-key angry today, pretty much all day. Lately, it’s just been weird weather and I’ve been feeling emotional anyway, but mostly, I am angry at the conduct of journalists and public personalities when speaking about the election. It all started yesterday when I tried to watch “Huckabee” to understand the point of... Continue Reading →
How did we get here? How do almost 50% of Americans think That any of what that man does is ok? In a world aching and scared, How do we praise his hate? How do we look at starving children And tell them, you can't live here, And I'm taking your mother away? Or stare... Continue Reading →
