TRANSITIONS

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43:18-19

Main Character Energy

Last weekend, I attended a nondenominational Christian service with a friend from work. At one point in the sermon, the pastor put a quote up on the projector that read: "What you think about when you think about God is the single most important thing about you." -...

Straws and Crosswalks

A few years ago, I bought a reusable straw in a valiant attempt to save the sea turtles I was probably killing with my abundant plastic straw use. My straw (and its cute little carrying case) came everywhere with me, and I used it in my iced coffee, my sparkly waters,...

An Invitation to Obedience

Earlier this year, I embarked on the journey of Fiat90 with a small group of friends. Fiat90 is a 90-day program of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to prepare for Easter. You may have heard of the men's version, Exodus90, which involves cold showers and 5 a.m. alarms...

Should women work?

I get asked all the time about my thoughts on whether women should be in the workplace or at home with their families. I am extraordinarily unequipped to answer this question, yet I get it frequently. I think it’s because (especially in the Catholic women's space)...

The Gift of New Beginnings

Last Friday, I had my first day at my new job – my first full-time, real job since heading off to business school in the fall of 2021. We spent the day learning how to turn on our computers, reset our phones, and find our benefits on the portal. It was slow and long...

Finding God in Foxholes

Last week, I devoured Fr. Thomas Dubay's Prayer Primer, a book that breaks down the who, what, where, when, why, and how of prayer. It rocked my world. As someone who is always seeking to grow deeper in my prayer life, I took so much from this book for "beginners"...

Call Your Mother!!

Today we celebrate the Assumption of Mary, one of the most beautiful feast days in the Church. We all know Mary is the mother of Jesus, who as a very young woman said yes to the Lord in speedy and faithful obedience. Who raised her son, the son of God to be strong and...

When Your Emotions Are a Little Tricky to Navigate

There is one question I have received a zillion times this summer: "Are you excited to go back to DC?" ​ The poor people who ask me that are probably just hoping for a quick answer: "Yes, so excited, thanks for asking!" and for the conversation to move forward. But...
