People Are Nicer Than You Think

and other lessons I've learned on the internet

I had the enlightening experience once of having a surprise “in-real-life” social meeting with someone (I will call her Jane) whom I had previously known only online.

Before our in-real-life meeting, I did not like Jane. Actually, I might very well have liked her, except for the fact that Jane did not like me. At least I thought she didn’t.

You know how you can get a bad “vibe” sometimes from reading... READ MORE

Reunions: yay or nay?

This weekend I was blessed to attend my college reunion.

Not my class reunion, but the reunion of my entire college, a now-defunct school that has a total alumni population of only a couple hundred people.

I helped organize the reunion, and we were excited to have over a hundred attendees, including several dozen children. If there’s anything better than seeing old friends and classmates, it’s seeing... READ MORE 


Just One Small Thing

I never cease to be amazed how much it invigorates me when I have the time and energy to start my day with a long shower, do my hair, apply my makeup, and slip on a snappy outfit—but, let’s face it, here in the real world that’s not always possible.

Men Have Feelings Too

another great resource from the K of C

Here’s a great resource for Catholic men (and for those of us who have ever wondered just what on earth is going on inside men’s heads):

The latest video posted at the Knights of Colmubus website Fathers for Good features Dr. Richard Fitzgbbons, a Catholic psychiatrist. Fitzgibbons takes on the challenging topic of men and their emotions: “Learn how to control your emotions without denying them—and live a healthier life at work and at home.”

Sounds like a must-watch to me. Check it out.
