Try as I may the struggle with addictions is a constant battle. In my case the current and far to frequent addictions are to food and screens. If I followed my goals those things would instead be replaced with good choices. Choices for healthy food, exercise, and productive activities like updating the website, quilting, spendingContinue reading “The Struggle”

Honor or Worship? my thoughts and understandings …part 1
I am only going to touch on the surface of this topic for now and have in the past been very conflicted about the topic myself. I was raised Catholic and with the name Mary, I always felt a special connection to Our Blessed Mother, Jesus’s mom and to a few saints such as StContinue reading “Honor or Worship? my thoughts and understandings …part 1”
He is Risen, He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
To paraphrase the homily from Easter Mass, Love died on Good Friday, was silent on Holy Saturday, and returned to us on Easter Sunday when Christ rose from the dead. His sacrifice for our salvation was the most amazing gift ever given. He gave all, for all, and that gift is always there, but aContinue reading “He is Risen, He is risen indeed! Alleluia!”
Week 6~ Preparation
Hey Y’all, I decided to switch it up and may go to a weekly blog because the demands of life are many and managing my time is a part of the bigger plan. It all comes with the territory when you own your own business and are the only employee. Then there are the everydayContinue reading “Week 6~ Preparation”
Day 33~ Gratitude
Trigger warning ~ abortion/child loss. There is so much in life to be grateful for, even in the challenges and sorrows we face. How many times do things that feel so heavy, lead us eventually to an unexpected joy? The hardships and struggles I’ve had to face, pale so much in comparison to that ofContinue reading “Day 33~ Gratitude”
Day 31 ~ Waiting
A good day to you all. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go…keeping it brief today after 2 days away from blogging. In John 5- I relate to the man awaiting healing at the pool of Bethesda…I long to be healed in body mind and spirit. Jesus, when your will brings suchContinue reading “Day 31 ~ Waiting”
Day 29 ~ Fiat
Veni Sancte Spiritus…Come Holy Spirit! Oh Blessed Mother what a fine example you are of willing and sacrificial obedience and surrender to the will of God. Help me to give and stand firmly within my fiat to God’s will too. I started to say, I will never bear the Son of God, but yet, asContinue reading “Day 29 ~ Fiat”
Day 22 – Envy
Hi there! Today’s readings included the story of Israel, and his son Joseph and his brother’s. Envy took a toll on that family, as it does many. For years the deception led to a separation which was heartbreaking to the father. Eventually the truth came out, but not until after much hardship and a reunionContinue reading “Day 22 – Envy”
Day 21 ~ Living Water
Good Morning and Welcome! Thank you for joining my contemplation of a portion of today’s Mass reading from Jeremiah 17:7-8…being planted by the water. One of my biggest ongoing struggles is trusting in the Lord. There is no good reason for my struggle because the Lord always shows up when I need Him and callContinue reading “Day 21 ~ Living Water”
Day 20 ~ As a Butterfly
It is so beautiful and amazing to me that I am given an opportunity for a new start, each and every day. This is indeed an undeserved chance for me to make changes to better myself and the world around me. I rarely utilize this gift to a degree I could. Silly, lazy, selfish Mary.Continue reading “Day 20 ~ As a Butterfly”
