I am constantly hearing women ask, "How do I get my husband to do Dave Ramsey too? I'm on bored, but he is not." I have so been there. I was so frustrated with my husband for years that I couldn't convince him, and he wouldn't hear me. We tried to do it once, but... Continue Reading →
My Worst Nightmare
I had every writers worst nightmare happen to me today. I got a good look at everything I don't have. I don't have writing credits, I don't have many connections, I don't have time, I don't have so many things it hurts. I posted my own rec post, but I don't know that it's really... Continue Reading →
Jesus Did Not Suffer Joyfully
Lately, I have been screaming inside, pretty much all day every day, because I am having a hard time, and I am being honest about it. Over and over again I see the weary faces of everyone around me. I don't blame them for being sick of hearing it. I'm sick of hearing my own... Continue Reading →
Giving Credit Where Credit is Due:Miracles do Happen, They just look different than you might think
A couple of weeks ago, someone asked me what I did to heal my teeth. I had had severe receding gums, at one point an enormous cavity that felt like a huge chunk of my tooth had come out. 2 HG pregnancies in a row and breastfeeding did a real number on my teeth that... Continue Reading →
I have a theory about Post Partum Depression. I haven't talked about it, because I'm kind of afraid I'm going to get stoned for this, but hear me out, ok? I have a theory that PPD is not really a thing as much as we think it is. I think what everyone thinks is PPD... Continue Reading →

You Will Destroy Your Temple and Build it up in Three Days
Monday of Holy Week, 2019 Notre Dame burned today. I don't know how much. The news reports are all contradicting each other. There's one that says it's a total loss, another says the spire and roof are gone, but the structure is ok. There's one that says the relics were all saved, another says we... Continue Reading →
God, it seems like everything is wrong in the world lately.
God, It seems like everything is wrong in the world lately. I am afraid at every turn what the next moment will hold. Every time I turn my eyes and see a shadow my stomach contracts in fear at what might be behind. Every time I get on Facebook I find out about somebody new... Continue Reading →
First Impressions: Pope Benedict’s Letter about the Church Scandals
Ok, if you're reading this, remember this is my first impressions upon reading only part of the letter, I'll write again when I actually get to read the whole thing. I have to admit all I want to do is roll my eyes so far. Seriously, just blame the whole thing on artists and the... Continue Reading →
Dear Priests:What Not to Say in Confession Part 1 of A Million
Dear Father, I really hate confession. I didn't go for a really long time. My mom has had her confessions abused more than once, I am kind of afraid of priests, and I have gotten some of the worst advice in my life in confession. On top of all of that, I struggle with scrupulosity... Continue Reading →
