  • Preparing for 3 Days of Darkness

    Telling those around me that the three days of darkness may soon be upon us begets an earful of disbelief and awkward laughter. I ask myself why do I bother. My main reason is to let others know of what may come and to prepare for it. Hence dear readers,… Read ⇢

  • Truth Or Riding The Status Quo

    Often times Christian’s and Catholics working in a toxic environment endure it as an act of love and compassion. They dare not speak out for fear of rocking the boat. In a toxic work environment, I have been advised by my Catholic counterpart to accept it with love in my… Read ⇢

  • Beware Of Demons In Our Midst

    I have always taught my kids to think critically and to seek the truth that’s hidden beneath the sludge of popularism. Satan no longer hides in the deep, and is in our faces dominating every facet of our lives. Most visible in the music and entertainment industry, as well as… Read ⇢

  • The Chosen

  • Signs Of The Times

    3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. Matthew 16:3 NRSVCE We only need to look around us to see the signs… Read ⇢

  • Act Of Faith

    I had not watched The Chosen (Season 1) until this weekend. My parish priest had raved about this series and recommended it as a beautiful portrayer of Jesus. Wrapping our heads around the hypostatic union of Jesus as one person with two nature – divine and human – can be… Read ⇢

  • Staying on God’s Path

    I have to say that sometimes (ok, most of the time) it’s a struggle between my will (me) and God’s will. My path seems easy and mapped out. God’s route takes time and effort, nor do I know where the Holy Spirit will take me: 8 The wind blows where… Read ⇢

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.
