Sometimes Prison isn't Punishment

Last updated on: February 7, 2015 at 12:51 pm By Leticia Adams

I have been to jail many times for things like hot checks, tickets and a DWI. The longest that I have ever been in jail was 2 weeks in a city jail that had no yard, TV or radio. The only thing to do was read and nap. The food was horrible, using the bathroom in front of everyone was awful and being treated like I was subhuman was humiliating. One thing that I had plenty of time to do... Read more

We are Called to Love Each other, Not be Besties

Last updated on: February 3, 2015 at 12:26 pm By Leticia Adams

I have not been writing very much lately for so many reasons. One of them being my new radio show which has taken up a lot of my time and energy. And also because life has been rough and I have really been working hard on trying to find my way in this life as a Catholic. I had a lot of my blog posts attacked recently and I began to fear putting myself out there in this space because... Read more

Taking Time to Fall in Love Again

Last updated on: January 8, 2015 at 3:43 pm By Leticia Adams

I feel like it’s been a year since I wrote a blog post! I’ve been really busy……Um… that’s a lie, I took Christmas vacation to sit with my husband and binge watch Netflix. It was fabulous. We haven’t taken time off like that is so long that it was really nice. We didn’t go anywhere or doing anything. We just sat and watched hours and hours of Grey’s Anatomy. Well, I did, my husband did get up and put on... Read more

It's Official!!! I Have a Radio Show!

Last updated on: January 5, 2015 at 3:11 pm By Leticia Adams

I know that I had already announced this but lately people invite me to do things and then take those invitation back so I have been in denial that this was really gonna happen. My pilot has been up and running since last week so I was pretty sure it was real, but now I have signed the contract and the station is LIVE online so it’s REAL!! My show will be on at 10pm Eastern time Monday thru Friday.... Read more

Preparing for Emmanuel

Last updated on: December 23, 2014 at 11:31 am By Leticia Adams

I find myself having a really difficult Advent this year. Life has been very rough for a long time. Even though there are spurts of sunshine, for the most part I feel lost and confused on what God is calling me to do. I really thought that He wanted me to start The Red Door foundation and then every single door on that project closed. I got over a thousand hits on the post that Mark Shea shared on his...

The Thicket of The Cross

Last updated on: December 15, 2014 at 1:25 pm By Leticia Adams

I always have loved New Year’s Eve for some reason. I used to sit all alone in my living room watching Dick Clark’s New Year’s Eve in Times Square and wait until the ball dropped before I would go to bed. There was something about it for me. The fact that it was a whole new beginning, a clean slate and the possibilities of the New Year were endless. I wasn’t raised believing in the magic of Santa or the... Read more

7 Quick Takes on The Grace of Yes, the book and life

Last updated on: December 5, 2014 at 4:11 pm By Leticia Adams

1. With this new radio gig on Real Life Network , I apparently get review copies of books. This means that I actually get to say the words “I have to read this book for work”…. Que choir of angels singing. I can’t express just how happy this makes me. I love to read, I always have. Now I have the perfect excuse for having 20 stacks of books all over the house. I’m happy to say that the first book... Read more

Post Conversion Friend Fail

Last updated on: December 4, 2014 at 3:48 pm By Leticia Adams

As Catholics we sometimes get tempted to seal ourselves up in our own bubbles and echo chambers. In hanging out with only Catholics, in only talking about Catholic things, listening to only Catholic music or reading only Catholic books because it’s frustrating and scary to see a world in pain through a Catholic lens. We see train wrecks everywhere and we know Who the answer is and we just want to scream at everyone and tell them to get in... Read more

Sheep, Goats, Mentoring and Ferguson

Last updated on: November 26, 2014 at 1:53 pm By Leticia Adams

The things that I have seen written by Catholics on what is going down in Ferguson has blown my mind. Even worst is that some of it is coming from Catholics that I respect and love and look up to as voices of my faith. As I sat and listened to the Gospel on Sunday I thought about how hard it is to get people to live this Catholic faith. Starting with me, but the thing about me is that... Read more

Mike Brown, My Life and Peace

Last updated on: November 25, 2014 at 12:59 pm By Leticia Adams

Like a lot of people I sat glued to my TV last night watching the news coverage in Ferguson MO waiting for the announcement and the aftermath of it. The death of Mike Brown is a tragedy, as is the death of anyone. The fact is that an 18-year-old is dead and a cop’s life changed forever over a pack of cigars. That is tragic. A mother is mourning the loss of her child. That is tragic. The racist comments,... Read more
