I love Jesus Christ and devote my life to following Him. I'm madly in love with my husband jon. I'm the mother of the most perfect babies in the world. I'm a Senior Sales Associate at my beloved Anthropologie. I'm a reader, thinker, lover, believer and traveler. I'd trade in the chicago skyline for the pacific coast any day. i love a good vino. i love my books. i'm creative as creativity goes but always wanted to be a painter. i prefer letter writing over emailing. And I always try to be a kinder person.

Franciscan Blessing...


May God bless you with discomfort...
at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships...
so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger...
at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people...
so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless you with tears...
to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war...
so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

May God bless you with enough foolishness...
to believe that you can make a difference in the world...
so that you can do what others claim cannot be done...
to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
