Infertility Webinar
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Monday, April 02, 2012
I wanted to share the recording of the recent webinar sponsored by Ave Maria Press and presented by Angelique Ruhi-López and Carmen Santamaría, authors of the wonderful new book The Infertility Companion for Catholics.
Infertility: Spiritual Care and Practical Support for Catholic Couples from Ave Maria Press on Vimeo.
Infertility is a cross that affects one in six couples in the United States. Amid all of the emotions that come with experiencing infertility, Catholic couples face additional confusion, worry, and frustration as they explore the medical options available to them. As women who walked this road for years, authors Angelique Ruhi-López and Carmen Santamaría know firsthand the importance of having the support of the Church community. They will explore how parishes and dioceses can provide much-needed information and spiritual support to infertile couples and those who have experienced miscarriages.

Head Over Heels
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, February 13, 2012
I’ve had a topsy turvy few days since I took a spill in my kitchen late last week. It happened in the midst of the morning rush, and thankfully Adam was nearby to help me get up while my ER doctor husband slumbered peacefully upstairs. The cause? A combination of rushing and clumsiness. At the time when I fell, I didn’t think anything more than my pride had been injured, but as the weekend progressed... READ MORE
Taking Back Pink

My Halloween “treat” to myself this year was a trip to my local women’s imaging center for my annual mammogram. I managed to fit it into the month of October, but just barely, and am happy to report that I received a clean bill of health. I don’t know if having had so many treatments and mammos over the past years has dulled my senses, but it even seemed less uncomfortable than past screenings.
But... READ MORE

Birthday Blessings

As Danielle mentioned earlier in the month, a bevy of us here on the blog have celebrated June birthdays. Mine occurred yesterday, and as the “old lady” of the Faith & Family crew I’m proud to announce that I am now the big 4-8.
Forty-eight, wow—that is super old! The amazing thing is that when I woke up yesterday morning, rather than lamenting my elderly state, I was able to really happily embrace... READ MORE

President Obama signed an Executive Order creating a White House Council on Women & Girls today.
We’ll have our different views about the necessity of such a council, but an elected President is entitled to focus on his issues, and the goals as stated are laudable. There are several goals, but one main focus:
the critical work of the Council will be to help build healthy families and... READ MORE
