Happy Feast Day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!  This feast day has great importance to my husband and myself.  For one, my husband proposed to me on this feast day and we are called by God to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to the world. The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is very popular and one that is easily recognized.  This image was given by Our Lord to St. Margret Mary of Alacoque.  She was a French nun, who was born in 1647 and had a great devotion to t

When helping people to save money, I usually start out by telling them how to save money on toilet paper, because it is a basic necessity.  When looking at all the different options for purchasing toilet paper, it can be over whelming.  Toilet paper has different plies, patterns, brands, scented/unscented, and eco-friendly options (bamboo).  Ply refers to how many layers there are in a single sheet of toilet paper.  Toilet paper can either have one, two, or three plies.  Whil

Do you like to travel? I love to travel! I like seeing new places, experiencing different cultures, and eating a variety of flavors. If traveling by plane, I try to get the window seat if possible. It amazes me that the human race has invented a means of transportation that can travel at almost 1,000 miles per hour! My favorite part is the lift off. You get this child-like thrill. You feel the initial tug of the plane as it sits on the runway and then starts to travel faster

I consider myself a simple person.  I am frugal, but generous.  There are many times in life where I had to sacrifice and struggle because of lack of money.  I grew up in a suburb of Detroit in a middle class family.  We always had enough food on the table and clothes to wear, even though they were hand-me-downs from my older sister.  I was privileged to go to 13 years of Catholic schools.  My struggle with money didn’t start until I was in college and on my own.  Every penny

As today is Good Friday, we remember the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  We remember His five wounds: one in each hand, one in each foot, and one on His side.  We can imagine that there are many more wounds of Jesus since He was scourged at the pillar and crowned with thorns.  But the most painful physical wound of Jesus was actually a hidden wound.  This hidden most painful wound of our Lord is the shoulder wound of Jesus that we know of from St. Bernard of Clairva

“Pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

God is everywhere.  God is here.  Although a simple concept, we can sometimes forget that God is with us every moment.  We know He is  with  us when we experience joy.  But sometimes we feel that He has forgotten us, or He is not present in the midst of our storms.  Let me tell you dear sisters, the Lord is ever present in our joys  and  in our sufferings.  In fact, this reminds me of the Gospel story in Matthew 8:23-27.  The disciples are in the boat with Jesus and suddenly

When beginning this website, like any project, I thought about the objectives.  What do I hope the readers, you, get out of this site?  And who would be my readers?  I was able to answer all these questions quickly.  The audience is all women: single, religious, married, and/or consecrated.  What are my hopes for all of you (and myself)?  It is for us to be strong, Godly women, to grow in virtue, and to help save souls beginning with our families. As I began to pray about the
