Here is a sampling of my mind's wanderings throughout my first year of teaching and first time living on my own; nothing extraordinary, just simple, short, and sweet. My friend Alli asked that I create a blog so she could follow my adventures, and I have willingly obliged.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything."-Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

Silent Whisperings

There seem to be rather frequent thoughts in the back of my mind having to do with my upcoming career path: "Is this really what I should be doing? Have I taken the 'easy' route by not having taken any risks?" Possibly. But then there are the calm interjections every so often by friends, colleagues, professors ushering me along my path, patiently prodding me that this is where I should be. I take each one as a clue from God. He is reassuring me that I am capable of this job and others are taking notice. I have to thank those who have spoken up--your whisperings are not unappreciated.
