Imagine writing something so repeatedly, you lose your voice. Any gained wisdom seems lost as you know your words have the power to hurt or heal. Even writing the words toxic person, causes my breath to hitch. This isn’t about them. Who they were. Why they did what they did. It could be for a […]
Over the last two posts you learned the basics and those curious learned how I use these tools for my mental health. Now we’re diving into areas of faith. Part 1 While many of us gladly proclaim our expertise using Pinterest and Instagram, many people still shy away from these social media platforms. Whether the […]
Now with Irma wreaking havoc, one might wonder why it took so long to create this post. While God fortunately, blessed me during this time of need, my stress levels boiled over forcing me to focus on myself. Thankfully, I am safe, including my immediate family, but strangers and close friends suffered major losses due […]
Have you ever prayed and then wondered what to do next? Or better yet, have you asked for God to give you some sort of sign, so you knew without a doubt you were on the right path? There have been times I’ve asked him to yell at me if necessary, and then I rescinded […]
Right now, I feel very overwhelmed. Truthfully I sometimes think I give away so much and there is nothing left for me; when I finally have time to do what is necessary, there is so little time left. Today, I was able to do less than an hour of necessary work. I accomplished nothing. This […]

Difficulties of Catholic Living is a feature meant to attack the problems recent converts, cradle Catholics, and critics of the faith may have. These entries are based on my own life experiences and are meant to show that you are not alone in this struggle. Being a Catholic or Protestant Christian is a beautiful thing, […]
The past two weeks have been a bit of a roller coaster ride with barely anytime to do anything as I had work and social obligations that compounded my schedule. It’s easy to lose track of blessings when you have so many negative things happening to you, but I was so blessed to have a […]
I was a Pro-Choice advocate for most of my life. There was a time to me when abortion rights were akin to attacking women, however, I have since come to accept the reality that the fetus is in fact, a baby. Not only a baby, but a human being, and not a clump of cells […]
Based on the title I should add, “And I Hate It.” I have no excuse for the sins I struggle with to be quite frank with you. Perhaps the only commentary I can add is that so much of our culture normalizes egregious behavior that even the smaller things seem not to be “so bad” […]
It would make sense to start my very first post about what eventually made me confirm. There were a variety of factors, but the one constant was my desire to ensure salvation-namely Heaven. Now as I was learning more about the faith, prior to that I thought Heaven was a place. I was told […]
