My Newsletter: Rejoice! Be Glad!

My newsletter is Rejoice! Be Glad!, and you can read about the latest issue, download it, or subscribe from this page. Each month, I'll share something about a Catholic saint and woman living today who will inspire you, spiritual resources, and a brief note of where I'll be in the coming month.

This month...

Words to live by: INTENTIONAL, STRONG, ACTIVE, REVERENCE. Last month, I suggested HARMONY as my word for this year and asked for yours. Thank you. In this month's newsletter, see why readers suggested these. Keep thinking about your words for 2025.

Many beautiful words have found a place on my nightstand. Two books perch there this month. Sarah Law's Sketches from a Sunlit Heaven: A Novel is one. The other is A Beautiful Second Act: Saints and Soul Sisters Who Taught Me to Be a Badass Age with Grace by Maria Morera Johnson. Links to both are in the newsletter. Not entirely coincidentally, Maria Morera Johnson will be speaking about saints, soul sisters, and second acts at the Future With Hope Women gathering on April 5 in Arlington. You know where to click to learn more about that.

Also in this month's newsletter: an autobiography in a handful of very short paragraphs. Some times require us to step back, take stock, put it all together in a few words, and get ready to accept every new day as the gift that it is.

to see that name throughout many back-issues.
