About

The title of this blog comes from a quote by G.K. Chesterton:

"How can it be a large career to tell other people about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe?  How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone?  No, a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute."

Statement of Faith

I believe in the one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church as is stated in the Nicene Creed.  My life's endeavor is to make it to heaven, and I hope, through my words and deeds, that I may help others there as well. 

I believe in the sanctity of human life, from conception to natural death, without exception.

If anything I say is in error or contrary to the teaching of the Magisterium, I joyfully await correction.

Commenting Policy

Everyone is entitled to their own points-of-view and opinions.  Debate and dissent is healthy. 

However, disrespect and slandering,  personal and ad hominum attacks, will not be tolerated here. 

If a comment is found to qualify in one or more of the above criteria, it will be deleted or changed to recite the lyrics of Aladdin's "A Whole New World," or whatever other song I feel inclined to type out that particular morning.

More about Me

G.K. Chesterton's cryptic quote describes me well: 

"It is true that I am of an older fashion.  Much that I love has been destroyed or sent into exile." 

Born in Florida and raised in the mid-west, I have a BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing.  I read for my MA in Arthurian Literature from Bangor University in Wales in 2010.  Someday, I'd like to pursue a Ph.D., perhaps in creative writing again. 

A mother of one (so far), I enjoy reading the classics (The Lord of the Rings!), writing fiction and poetry, flowers, traveling abroad, art history, Catholic apologetics, photography, scrapbooking, fairy tales, and the saints.  I like tea parties and renaissance festivals, off-beat humor and anime, writing letters and drinking good wine (in moderation), attachment parenting and autumn foliage. 

My husband is Cymraeg, and Wales is close to my heart.  We hope some day to return there. 

Really, the best way to learn more about me is to read my blog.  But I've tried to provide you with some of the basics here. 

Pax Christi!
