My husband had a countdown on his phone for months. Every so often he gave me an update. It was a big deal when we hit the halfway point, and three-quarters, and less than two months left. Last week, with mere days to go, I didn’t need updates. I could count for myself.
Linus Michael and Ambrose John were born just after midnight on May 12th last year. Last Saturday, they were one year old. ONE WHOLE... READ MORE

Blaise had a birthday today!
Back in the fall of 2008, I blogged about Camilla’s second birthday. Blaise was born about three months later, and now he’s two himself. Wow.
I don’t have the same introspective thoughts on the blessing of parenthood to share today, but I think that’s okay. With two kids, and especially with one of them being a very busy toddler, I have less time for introspection now.... READ MORE
Questions to Ask Before 2011

Whatever your plans for New year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, the beginning of a new calendar year invites us to reflect on the past and focus on the future.
At the New Year’s Eve dinner party we host nearly every year, I subject friends and family alike my list of discussion questions. We usually wind up sharing a little and laughing a lot. You can use my list (or make your own!) for personal reflection... READ MORE
The Most Real Thing Ever

Our week following Gaudete Sunday — a week celebrating joy. Yet many people I love are suffering, trying to see through to the other side of their pain and experience even a glimpse of the joy that is intended to mark this third week of Advent. This quote in Magnificat this week has stayed with me:
“We are not asked to put our faith in words alone, but in all the signs that Jesus worked and works... READ MORE
Winter Wonderland

In many parts of the U.S., snow has fallen already this winter season. From flurries to blizzards, the white stuff has made its presence known. Dreamily thinking of that snow, I remembered the following little reflection I wrote a couple of years ago to show a group of kids how you can paint images in people’s minds with your words.
I know, I know, this is the same person who, just a month ago, blogged... READ MORE
Yes

What better time than these early days of Advent to focus on Mary’s Yes that changed the world forever. And what better time to recommit ourselves to the Yes that God is asking of us in our own lives each and every day.
For Advent reflection today …
Help Me Say “Yes” …
Like Mary when the angel came,
Like Joseph after his dream,
Like the shepherds when the angels sang,
Like Wise Men who tracked the... READ MORE
It's Not About Me

I received a one-two punch in my morning reflections today. As the resident control freak in my house, I just love, love, love clarity.
Today’s Magnificat Gospel reflection by Elizabeth Leseur:
“Let us never look for the result of our efforts for others. It is good for us not to know it, for if we did, pride in doing good, the most subtle pride of all, might follow.”
Imitation of Christ (Chapter 47):... READ MORE
