A Stronger Me In My Own Existence

  • The Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle

    I have to admit that Saint Paul the Apostle was my least favourite Apostle. His teachings recall the strictest professor I have ever had and calls to mind the time my seminar paper was thrown back at me and my professor sternly telling me academic protocols were not observed. I… Read ⇢

  • Vision of Things to Come: Three Days of Darkness, Chastisement, and Spiritual Preparedness

    More and more “chosen” ones are having visions or inner knowledge of things to come. These visions are shared and are guides to help prepare for seen or unseen things to come. Visions are not meant to create panic, but they are warnings of things to come or the consequences… Read ⇢

  • Culture of Death

    I encourage all to watch this video by Fr. Ripperger (Part 1 and 2). Much of what Fr. Ripperger discusses is exactly what’s been bothering me about the Catholic Church and the white washing of our Faith journey with a sense of superficiality without depth. It also discusses the role… Read ⇢

    As I start the first day of 2025, I will not be making any resolutions. Instead I will look to deepening my walk with Jesus by focusing on areas I need to develop on my road towards being a better me in my existence. This would include deepening my prayer… Read ⇢

  • How Do I Say It Without Sounding Like A Bigot

    As I head into 2025, I have been taking the time to finish reading and reflecting on the Wisdom of Solomon. It is a meaningful book for me especially as it mirrors our time when secular and politically correct agendas govern the way we communicate and interact with one another,… Read ⇢

    How Do I Say It Without Sounding Like A Bigot

Meet the Author.

This blog began as a way to record my spiritual journey for my children, whom my husband and I were blessed to adopt later in life. What started as a personal reflection has grown into a space where I share insights on faith, truth, parenting, and the quiet work of forming the soul. My hope is to encourage others seeking God’s light in an often noisy world.
