A couple weeks ago Zoe was too sick to take to Mass so I stayed home with her. During the time Mass was going on she was sleeping so I sat down and read the Mass readings and then went to Jean’s Manna Gathering to read her meditation. I started back on the 1st Sunday ofContinue reading “The power of the present moment.”

What I wish everyone understood about child loss: part ‘too’.
Ever since I came across Clara Hinton’s list of what she wished everyone understood about child loss and posted it, it’s been needling at my thoughts starting with the first thing on her list: wishing others understood the magnitude of the loss. After wishing this for the past twenty two months, I’m beginning to realize the wish that others understoodContinue reading “What I wish everyone understood about child loss: part ‘too’.”
Frustrating, featuring, and funny.
Half an hour ago I had a very frustrating few minutes. Marc activated a ‘patch’ to help with spam comments because we’ve received over 8000 spam comments since mid-August. Turns out the patch is causing more problems than it is helping with. First I noticed that new comments were now being held for approval because they were suspected ofContinue reading “Frustrating, featuring, and funny.”
A Road Sign
By Patti Dansereau — May 2, 2016 5:16pm Two weeks ago, after Mass, a friend of ours gave me a book to read. He was excited to share this book with me, so excited in fact that he told me he needed it back when I was done because he was anxious for his wife to readContinue reading “A Road Sign”
“Out of the Mouths of Babes!”
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 6, 2016 11:44pm I don’t know why, but it never really occurred to me that my kids would be deep thinkers when they’re little. I thought that the only things they thought about were what they wanted, what they weren’t getting that they wanted, and what they could get away with. In the lastContinue reading ““Out of the Mouths of Babes!””

First Negative First
By Patti Dansereau — Feb 23, 2016 6:00pm It’s funny how we can wish for something to be true even though we know it won’t be but it doesn’t stop us from wishing it anyways. Repeatedly I’ve read or been told by those who are further down this path than us that the second year isContinue reading “First Negative First”
Feast Days are like Birthdays
By Patti Dansereau — Feb 1, 2016 12:51am In our family our birthday celebrations tend to run for about a week, give or take a day – so why not a feast day too! It’s interesting, we had a few people ask us if we had any plans for the 29th or plans to mark theContinue reading “Feast Days are like Birthdays”
An Answer to the question about Grace
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 29, 2016 3:55am Sunday after Mass a lady came up to my friend and I and was excited to share the news of the sale of her house. In explaining how everything worked out she gave God all the credit for how He arranged every detail perfectly. I confess that at the time in my heart I questionedContinue reading “An Answer to the question about Grace”
God’s Not Dead
By Patti Dansereau — Nov 28, 2015 10:38pm As we mentally walk down memory lane of ‘this time last year’ when we were trying to prepare for Advent and Christmas while having it totally overshadowed with Bernadette’s expanding needs, care, and the fear of the unknown; we continue to struggle with Bernadette’s absence every day, not just during these seasonsContinue reading “God’s Not Dead”
