I am sure you're thinking about this year. As exciting as it is, it's stressful. You may not be poised nor have a plan to change a darn thing about what you are doing and creating.Most people don't. I'm not talking about a fading resolution, another promise broken to yourself to change this and change that.I am talking about that gut-centered, deep-seated conviction that your time is waning and your life’s contribution too insignificant. Your family needs a jolt into holiness!You ..read more

So you still haven’t kicked her habits to the curb, your lower self, the one that retells her story everyday. Same dang thing. Yeah, she’d like to stay. She’s cozy. She comes around to amuse you with her justification of anger, impatience, anxiety, over-consumption, ignorance, and control or worse. She is satiated on the unfulfilling parts of life no doubt and this summer hasn’t changed a thing YET. For goodness sake. Why not? “Here’s what I think integrity is: it’s choosing courage over comfort, choosing what’s right over what’s fun, fast or easy, and practicing your values.” B. Brown put ..read more

There’s so much to celebrate in July. I am looking forward to it because our weather has finally warmed and there’s adventure to be had. ​ We plan to kayak camp, hike with our pack goat, host families, harvest from our garden, take a trip out of state and make a walking pilgrimage to Mass. Each month offers us the opportunity to schedule in the best version of ourselves, our marriages, family lives, and community.  No one is asking you to overdo it, but I am asking if you are under-doing it? Are you sitting back on your hands, heavy of heart, and feeling unsupported and ..read more

There has to be an answer to the dilemma you find yourself in. You can’t be the only one who is struggling to live in a healthy and happy body housing a holy soul. You’re not alone. Not at all. It is a real struggle that far too many Catholic mommas are facing…alone. The days when free time and fitness seemed to come more naturally have evaporated. The years when your body just “bounced back” are a long forgotten part of the past. The decades of deliberately curating a fun and adventurous family culture have grown over with fetid smell of the never-ending mundane to-do’s. You swallow you ..read more

You’re waiting.  You’re waiting until Lent. You’re waiting until summer. You’re waiting until they’re grown. You’re waiting… They’re missing out. They are at the point where each could fill in the black with a number of negatives relating, “My mom is always ___________.” You know what they’d say. You would be disappointed, but not surprised. They are your witnesses. You know yourself. You know yourself at least well enough to discern what you’re not doing well, and if any of it falls into the categories of your body, your soul or your life well-lived, then you can go curl up in that sh ..read more

?Nourishing November invite! I need healing. We all do. We all have those things which could be better about our bodies or emotions. I might be the picture of health to some, but I have my own struggles which I want to heal to live more optimized. After 7 pregnancies and 14 full years of nursing, my body has been significantly gifted on behalf of others for 20 years. I love that God has used me to bring life into the world, but I am still doing that daily in different forms. After decades as an elite athlete I have worn myself thin reaching peak performance, through constant travel and ..read more

You’ll know the power you have as a person when you DECIDE the timing is right to begin the fight. You’ll not have to second guess if you’ve tasted enough samples, tried enough classes, bought enough equipment, and read enough ingredient lists. You’ll simply be ready to begin because you DECIDED that it was time. Converting your fear of self, others, and the process begins when we look upon the cross of Christ and know that he makes all things new, even YOU. You must take a long stare in belief that you can change, and DECIDE you must. Yep, it may take forms you never thought it would! I ..read more
