About Me:
I’m a thirty-something Catholic originally from Denver, Colorado. I graduated from Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, NC with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and minors in Psychology and Philosophy. After over six years in parish ministry (youth ministry as well as faith formation), I’m a work-at-home mom to three daughters. I’m married to a wonderful, holy, loving man named Anthony, who serves as a full-time missionary with FOCUS. We got married May 31, 2014. If free time existed in my world I’d spend it hiking and exploring the mountains {and the world}.
Painting saints and Mass sets is a joy for me and I’m so grateful for all of the support of my shop!
Some of my favorite blogs I’ve written:
“the journey of my Heart.”
“not Myself.”
“dear Husband.”
“this harlot’s Heart.”
“dear Stability.”
“guard your Heart.”
“do you trust Me?”
Commenting Policy*:
I’d like to imagine the comboxes as a forum where an intelligent, spirited exchange of ideas can take place. That does happen, but some days it seems like people treat them more like bathroom walls. I have no interest in providing a blank space for atheists, anti-Catholics, and people who’ve skipped their meds to scrawl meaningless junk on my site.
If a comment is painfully stupid, insulting, and devoid of content, offensive, off-topic, or completely irrelevant, the writer is added to the spam filter. I do not check the spam filter, except when bored or looking for a good laugh. I trust the spam filter to do its job, and it does it very well. That means someone may well type out some long ranting post, about how I am a stupid woman who knows nothing and shall never find her future husband, that I shall never see. I will somehow get over this loss.
You may also wind up in the spam filter if your tag contains a link to a spammy-looking site, or simply because of weird English, or bad links, or your brand of deodorant. Some of its decisions are mysterious and capricious, but I simply can’t comb through them all looking for the real ones that might get sucked into its gaping maw.
Insults alone are not enough to get a comment spam-killed. I can trade insults with readers all day long if they’re interesting enough. However, insults + nothing to say = Welcome to Spamland.
I am not here to reassure trolls of their okayness, and this space is not here for them to post long screeds about whatever. If they want to do that, they can start their own blog. It’s free! Additionally, I reserve the right to use anonymous comments in blog posts however I see fit – you can’t say you weren’t warned!
