My brother and I were reflecting that it has been almost fifteen years that we have been writing on this blog page, professing what we are grateful for. I am grateful that I have a place to share my blessings. I am grateful that my brother and I have continued our education of life and…

My grandmother used to tell me that her faith was her strength. She was a strong, loving lady. Having grown up in two of the three largest religions I do not care for the pomp and circumstance of an organized religion. I have always felt that if I wanted to get close to god I…

Today I learned about the the Sister’s of St. Joseph. Their beginning and how they came to the west coast of the United States of America. I also learned about their charism. I learned that they do not have charism but rather the charism has them. It is a very interesting tale; one that makes…

There are many things to be grateful for. Too many for me to list. I am having a wonderful week and I am so grateful for that!
