Very Violet
Here's a new color scheme for Lent. Plus, purple is my favorite color. -
Ash Wednesday
I always start Lent with such good intentions. I'm usually derailed by the second week by my tendency to design complicated plans combined with my weak will. But hope springs eternal. One book I'm reading this Lent contains selections from letters St. Francis deSales wrote to various lay people as their spiritual advisor. I love Francis deSales. He ( Read more... ) -
One year
I realized my one year anniversary on LJ had gone by without comment. In fact a whole bunch of stuff has gone by without comment and that seemed to deserve, well… a comment. Since we got back from Italy, I’ve had very little urge to post to my LJ. One reason is time. November and December of last year were two of the busiest months of my life. ( Read more... ) -
Thought I had done this ages ago....

Now it's Christmas Eve and there is still so much to do. At least the baking is done, but nothing is wrapped and the house isn't clean so I must be off. My computer has been ( Read more... ) -
We get letters...
Seen over at serpentpixie's journal.
If you would like me to send you a Christmas card, leave your postal information in a comment. All comments will be screened.
Only 12 hours left before we leave and there is still so much to do. Have a good thought for us. I'll check in when we get back. -
Prayer intentions
DH and I are leaving for our pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi on 11/7. The priest who is leading us has asked us to gather intentions from our friends to be offered at the Masses he says for us while we are there. I will be offering the general intention "for all the intentions of my friends" but if you have something particular that you would like me ( Read more... )
