Divine Mercy Indeed

Last updated on: April 4, 2016 at 9:17 am By Leticia Adams

Right now in this moment, life is perfect. I had this aha moment sometime during Lent about living in my life. I think that I have been living my life in the past, mulling over all my mistakes and regrets as I wished to go back in time to be 17, 19, 21 or 30 again. I wanted to be skinny again, have the same style again and/or go back out to clubs again. Changes in life have been hard... Read more

Authentic Feminism

Last updated on: April 2, 2016 at 1:35 pm By Leticia Adams

I have been watching Scandal and other Shondaland shows for a long time wondering what exactly is it that people have such an issue with. I mean, I know why people have an issue with them, but at the same time I don’t get why there is shock that our culture is producing these kinds of shows with this idea of what it means to be a woman in this time in history in the United States. What I realized is... Read more

How Bourbon Brought me Happiness

Last updated on: April 1, 2016 at 11:26 am By Leticia Adams

Four years ago on this day a dog was born. Not just any dog, but Bourbon Ochoa Gallegos Jacobs Adams. Before I got this dog I really didn’t understand why people were obsessed with their pets. We already had one dog at the time named Whiskey. She was my oldest son’s dog and they had a great relationship. I loved her, but she wasn’t my dog and I certainly didn’t let her sleep with me or anything. She was a... Read more

Book Review: Writing my Wrongs by Shaka Senghor

Last updated on: March 28, 2016 at 4:12 pm By Leticia Adams

In the pages of Shaka Senghor’s memoir, Writing my Wrongs, I found one theme: the dignity of the human person. That is the theme to everything when you look at Catholic Social Teaching. Easter Season is the perfect time to be reminded of that. Shaka writes about his childhood and his mother’s spankings along with the divorce of his parents and how that impacted his life. At 14 he began selling drugs after running away from home and at 17... Read more

Holy Saturday: When Love and Mercy defeat Fear and Lies

Last updated on: March 26, 2016 at 1:04 pm By Leticia Adams

I have had the best week. It’s been a Holy Week full of Grace and love. It all began when I finally went to confession and Mass for the first time in months. I have spent so much of the last 3 days thinking about my life and what God has done for me. 6 years ago I became Catholic and it was one of the best nights of my life. I have learned so many lessons. I have had ups... Read more

Dear Pope Francis, Not Just a Book for Kids

Last updated on: March 22, 2016 at 7:47 pm By Leticia Adams

I was excited to check out this Dear Pope Francis by Pope Francis for my grandchildren. My youngest child is 14 so I wasn’t really sure if I would like a Catholic children’s book, but I love Pope Francis so I figured it would be good to have around for my grand kids. What I found was a great book for myself. I grew up without a father to ask questions to. I would spend a lot of time alone... Read more

Reconciliation

Last updated on: March 21, 2016 at 12:29 pm By Leticia Adams

Reconciliation is what the best moments in life are made of. When we are without a loved one for a very long time and then we know we will be back together with them everything else in the world stops. In May of 2008 I counted down the days until my childhood boyfriend would land in Austin, Texas from Iraq and I would see him for the first time in 17 years. For those 17 years I thought of him,...

Lent 2016, When I tried to Give God the Silent Treatment

Last updated on: March 19, 2016 at 7:33 pm By Leticia Adams

I have not been to Mass this entire Lent. Part of me thought that this was my idea. I should know better by now that God is always behind everything that happens in my life. He didn’t find me in the midst of sin and misery to just let me go back to it because I am being a baby throwing a fit about how hard following Him is. My car’s motor busted a few days before Ash Wednesday and... Read more

Book Review: Operating on Faithby Matt Weber

Last updated on: March 18, 2016 at 1:56 pm By Leticia Adams

Operating on Faith by Matt Weber is a memoir about suffering, marriage, love and what happens in life when you think everything is perfect. I will be honest, I didn’t really think that I would relate much to a book written by someone who pretty much seemed to have everything so well together. As I began reading this book the author spoke about his perfect life, his parents who are still together and his wonderful Texas engagement party in... Read more

Voting For Trump, Something I can’t Respect

Last updated on: March 17, 2016 at 12:05 pm By Leticia Adams

For years I have been told that voting for the lesser evil is the way to go in elections. I can’t even count how many times that I have been on the receiving end of that lecture. Now suddenly people are saying they will vote for Trump because apparently when everyone said “the lesser evil” they meant Republicans. That’s not how my brain works. I am not a Republican, in fact most years I can’t stand any single Republican candidate.... Read more
