Once, a long time ago, I opened my heart up to a holy person, a priest of the Lord, about how stressed I was in my life, about how, even though I tried to follow God and goodness, that I had no peace. He told me, “Michele, when you truly become a woman of prayer, […]

This morning I grabbed my coffee and woke up the dog to do her morning routine outside. (This is ‘Winnie’ -our miniature daschund) I accompanied her outside as lately she seems needy- she doesn’t want to be outside by herself – so I took my coffee and decided to sit outside for awhile so […]
