Religion vs Relationship and Why It's Good That Our Young People Are Doubting

March 25, 2018

I spend most of my time with middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college-aged girls. And, I spend most of this time listening to girls (and boys) of all ages express their doubts and frustrations about faith and the Catholic Church.
I wish I could sit here and tell you that I absorb these doubts with a heavy heart, [...]

Now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good

December 28, 2017

I thought I was going to throw up on my way to the first WWP board meeting. Reading Robert's Rules for Dummies had helped me to some degree, but a boatload of self-doubt remained. The only part of forming a nonprofit board that seemed doable and appealing to me was having a board retreat. [...]

Today is my favorite day of the year. It's my birthday, and there hasn't been a season when I haven't looked forward to it coming, certain that something delightful was bound to happen.

I was feeling pretty good about life, until I scrolled through my Instagram account and saw it. The pie. This perfectly, baked cherry pie. And not only was it a beautiful and delicious looking pie, but taken out of it was the perfect little bite. [...]

You're Looking for Peace in All the Wrong Places and Here's Why (Part 1)

July 5, 2017

Dear friend,
We live in a world where information, expectations and needs come at us like a tennis ball machine set on turbo speed. Women tend to be expert multi-taskers, and we can keep a lot of balls going at the same time. But it's costing us. [...]

God is Calling: Will You Step Out?

January 7, 2019

There's a lot to be said for playing it safe. It's predictable, comfortable, and doesn't cause ripple effects. It gives us the impression that we aren't hurting anyone.
