Join me at noon (12:00 EST) this Friday as I participate in an Author Hangout with my publisher, Ave Maria Press.
Register here, and then pay me a visit. Ask questions! Share your stories!
I want to know about your favorite saints and women who inspire you!
I’ll tone down the exclamation points, too! Maybe.
Hi Everybody! Checking in to let you know I’ve been busy in some other places, and I’m having fun — whether it’s giving a talk about the rosary to the Marist Mothers Prayer Group…
or sharing my writing around the web. I’m featured this week at Women In the New Evangelization with a piece about gratitude, and last week I shared my story at CatholicMom.com about venerating St. Maria Goretti’s relics on the Pilgrimage of Mercy. I have two sets of holy cards to give to readers, so I’m happy to announce that Maria at CatholicMom and Karen T. on my blog will both be receiving those holy cards soon.
Finally, I’m interviewed in episode #197 of Among Women with Pat Gohn. It’s so much fun to join Pat on the other side of the microphone. Pat is a dear friend and a long time collaborator, and most recently she blessed me by writing the foreword to my book, My Badass Book of Saints. We have a lovely conversation that explains the book title, the structure of the book, some of my favorite saints…and Pat gushes over my selfie with the Pope. Give it a listen!
[update!] You’ll want to enter Pat’s contest, too, as she celebrates her 200th show with some giveaways! My book is included in a great group of women!
This week’s challenge, to capture something ornate, breathtakingly extravagant, threw me a little. I originally thought I could go for some of the beautiful pieces from churches and cathedrals, or the historic places I’ve been to recently.
But then I thought, real complexity is in nature. Intricate shapes and complex patterns are everywhere. God’s palate is much more complex and rich than any man-made structure. So here’s one beauty — a favorite because there are so many patterns everywhere.
