There was an amazing article in The Florida Times-Union this past Sunday about the year I spent doing works of mercy. Please check it out: https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/local/2021/05/21/turning-40-led-jacksonville-woman-year-service-writing-book/5091085001/t
The author did such an amazing job capturing the intention of the year and of the book, Simple Mercies.
I spoke at my home parish this past Saturday and celebrated with a book launch reception afterward. It was one of those magic nights that made all of the hard days seem so far away. If a picture captures 1,000 words, then surely these capture the joy, gratitude, and love that made my heart simply happy!
It was a great launch. I was definitely inspired. We love you.
I was so happy you were there! And your sweet mama! Y’all are so dear to me.
Wow! Looks like a great night of love and laughter. Sorry I missed. I have your book now Excited to read.
As Carla Harris says
We are blessed so we may be a blessing to others
Great job

Thank you, Vicki! It feels like a long way away from those early days of mothering! It was such a fun night and so nice to celebrate something after the Covid curse of isolation. I would love to speak at San Juan someday. When things settle down we can work on that! (and I love the quote from Carla!)
Lara, we are so happy for you, and proud of you. The recognition is so deserved. Congratulations!!!
Thank you, Roger! I missed you at the talk. I was hoping to see you and Jane. (That’s me giving you Catholic guilt! But, seriously, it’s true!)
