The door is reopened to reconciliation, though we’re hampered by the distance between us and the amount of personal work that needs to be done. I have hope again. I’m grateful for all of your prayers and I hope you will remember us occasionally since this is bound to be a long road to travel! Read more

and blown away to find that my prayer request has been linked to by the fabulous Simcha. If you’ve come over here from her blog, thank you. I am in great need of your prayers. And thank you Simcha, for linking to my previous post, ‘a blanket apology’. The first thing I saw in my email this morning was a comment on that post, which made me reread it. I needed that reminder today that my value lies in my beginning... Read more

Thank you (whoever is still reading here) for your love and prayers over the years. 2011 was a year of a lot of upheaval for me and my family, with most of the roots of the upheaval going back years further. I won’t go into more detail at this time, but the sum result is this: my children and I are living with my parents in Ontario. My oldest son is no longer homeschooled, but attends a public Catholic elementary... Read more

A blanket apology…

Last updated on: January 31, 2017 at 2:40 pm By Kate Cousino

…to everybody I have ever given advice to as though I know anything at all about anything. No, I’m not depressed or getting down on myself. I am, however, realizing how much I have let pride and insecurity (nice combo, right?) drive my actions, decisions, and words over my lifetime. I’m writing it here so that I will be able to find these words again when I need them: My value is not dependent on being right. My value is... Read more

Happy Birthday, Mom

Last updated on: October 30, 2010 at 11:52 pm By Kate Cousino

So, I didn’t keep up with the “Things My Mother Tried to Teach Me” posts. Which is perhaps ironically appropriate, as I’ve not been a terribly good student of my mother’s lessons all these years. Bits of Mom’s wisdom I wanted to cover but didn’t get to:-The difference between private inspiration and public revelation (and how confusion between the two can cause difficulties in Christian circles).-The multiplicity of solutions to any given problem (granted, I still usually wish there was...
