I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area

  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Why Church is Fun

    Yesterday evening, I was running 5 minutes late for my Parish council meeting. I had to carry in a large poster I made for an upcoming event. Luckily, I was wearing a cute new pair of soft leather flats, so I was able to hustle from my car and into the Parish hall quickly.

    As I was jogging in, Fr. Steve was ambling out of the rectory and toward the Parish hall. He saw my shadow running toward him - the direction from which I was coming was directly in the sun. I identified myself, and noted, "Oh, I'm running late. I guess its a good thing I wore flats. I can't run in high heels."

    Without missing a beat he wryly remarked, "Oh, I have that problem too."
