Happy birthday to our dear, beautiful friend. I will offer my holy hour today for her intentions. I pray that her day is blessed to overflowing and that her body grants her the freedom of pain she needs to soak it all up. For healing, for joy, for peace. And the deep knowledge that she is very, very loved.

How to Be an Alleluia

It's still Easter. Do you feel it? Is the wonder of the empty tomb still fresh? Is the shout for joy still rising up, welling over, spilling out? Are you still feeling the relief of the proclamation: "ALLELUIA"? St. Augustine... Continue reading

Dawn, Here's the funny thing about those wine glasses...they're plastic! My kids have broken so many wine glasses over the years that I stopped buying them until I found those at Target.
