“None of us clearly know to whom or to what we are indebted in this wise, until some marked stop in the whirling wheel of life brings the right perception with it. It comes with sickness, it comes with sorrow, it comes with the loss of the dearly loved, it is one of the most frequent uses of adversity.” Charles Dickens
My mom and dad did so many acts of self-sacrifice for me in my youth…and they were always there when I needed them. You don’t forget that!
God bless,

“We need be careful how we deal with those about us, when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done-of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired! There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures, let us remember this, in time.” Charles Dickens

“The greatest honor God can do a soul is not give it much; but to ask much of it.” St Therese of Liseux
So grateful to my swim coach as a kid and all those other coaches, teachers and spiritual directors who have gently challenged me and pushed me to a higher level along the way…God’s plan and His dream for us is so much bigger than we think…fan your gifts into a flame and allow him to love and work through you!
God bless,
