A long time gone

So it’s been a couple of months since I’ve posted. Long enough that most of you have probably quit checking it and only those of you who still have me on your rss feeds will ever see it. But that’s ok, since I mostly write this for me. There is no profound [...]

Bolivia

My friend Justin flew out on Monday with a group from Eastern University to do mission work in Bolivia for a month.  We had some fun practicing Spanish before he left    If you have a heart for missions, South America, or health services, you can join me in praying for them.  Here’s the [...]

A Trip to the Shore

The weather around here has been great and I thought with time off and temperatures high, a trip to the shore would definitely be nice.  I spread the word to other friends who were in between school and work, or off for other reasons, and five of us drove out to the coast yesterday.  It [...]

Livin’ the Life

A Quiet Day

Fun Exhaustion

Because of the craziness that was school in March, school in April is somewhat beautiful.  I have 3 weeks of no clinical and when combined with Easter Break (thank you Catholic school) I got a whole week off!  I drove away from Villanova Tuesday night and am happy to say I managed not to crack [...]

Lessons from Children

This poem was shared with us at the Women’s Retreat last weekend by Lynn MacDougall. It was written by her 11 year-old daughter Michaela MacDougall.
Humility
A little infant

In a dirty wooden bed of straw
Inside the smallest stable
He could be doing more
If he wanted
He could be a man
Ruling from a gilded throne
Studded with jewels
In [...]

My hiatus

Sorry I haven’t kept up on this lately.  Life has gotten to be somewhat crazy and until things mellow down I probably won’t be posting.  Hopefully it will just be a week or two til the madness subsides!
