live the questions now.

:: LIFE :: Happy Easter! Brunch of "Eggs in Purgatory" seemed like an appropriate dish for today. #holylens #hocmeumcorestgratum #projectblessed

:: WAIT :: Spent some time Holy Saturday walking around the Scioto Mile. Sunshine, water, and peaceful quiet made it a great day to reflect and wait. #hocmeumcorestgratum #projectblessed #holylens (at The Scioto Mile)

:: BROKEN :: "This world may be broken but hope isn't crazy." - John Green - ... love one another. ... Today is a sacred day in the Catholic faith and this year it was full of reminders of how God loves me and the way we should be living this life we have been given. A new candle for a new season, time with friends, and peace from evening mass. #hocmeumcorestgratum #projectblessed #holylens

Perfect end to a memorable weekend: finishing A Man Called Ove - finally - enjoying both of my flights back to Cincinnati, and getting a complimentary Biscoff cookie! It's the little things that make life! #hocmeumcorestgratum

:: BELONG :: This collection of art and hand lettering behind my desk makes me happy. Whether it's a piece of work from former students, a peace offering given from a colleague/friend years ago because we went to opposing colleges, or pieces from my fun mail from @alimakesthings that I get every month - these are in my eye sight every day to remind myself that the joy I feel needs to be spread out into the world. The quote from @littlecitylove reminds me every day is a challenge, but I am not doing this work alone.#holylens #hocmeumcorestgratum #blessedisshe

While my goal for Lent was to journal every day - I have not made it the perfect routine when I'm not going to school. Catching up on my days this afternoon was perfectly timed to meet me needs today. Rest and gratitude need to dominate my Sundays more often - discovering what really helps me to connect, recharge, and relax - so I am filled with joy - that's my goal for the rest of Lent and beyond! #blessedisshe #putonlove #hocmeumcorestgratum

:: OPEN :: These Sundays spent waiting and resetting are super helpful for my work week ahead. The sunshine, the spiritual direction, and the intentional time of slowing down allow my heat to be open and listen to God's message for me. Grateful for this time in the sun today waiting for my spiritual director. #hocmeumcorestgratum #holylens #projectblessed (at Josephium College)

This weekend I got to dog sit these two pups! They are vastly different from one another but both great in their own way. Lucky to have people who let me get my puppy fix - so I'm not tempted to buy my own! #hocmeumcorestgratum

Day 29 :: WORK :: After a few days of fun in Chicago, and some more days of work - my mom and I made our way home from Milwaukee today. The last few times we have have made this trip we took a different route that takes us by this little town and you can see this beautiful steeple from the highway. Today, we went in and enjoyed the beautiful Church for a little bit of our trip - seeing this Church opens my eyes to the vastness of the faith and the fact that this community worked to build this space for this town because of their faith years ago. #holylens #hocmeumcorestgratum #catholicsonvacation (at St. John's Catholic Church)

Another inside view of St. John. #catholicsonvacation (at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Parish)

Inside of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Nice little break from the long drive home. #hocmeumcorestgratum #catholicsonvacation (at St. John's Catholic Church)

Love getting to visit places that truly remind me of my Grammy. She loved this museum and today my mom and enjoyed an hour or so taking it all in. Seeing Lake Michigan was a nice little bonus. #hocmeumcorestgratum (at Milwaukee Art Museum)

Mass this morning at a new parish to my in Milwaukee has this beautiful icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help - one of my favorite Marian icons. My mom and I were also asked to bring up the gifts for Fr. Russ - without anyone's knowledge of our relationship to him (he's my great uncle). These small moments allow me to see the beauty and grace that is a gift from our loving Father. #hocmeumcorestgratum #catholicfaith #catholicsonvacation (at Christ King Parish and School)

Love the architecture in Chicago!

St. Ignatius in Rogers Park. This parish is the one that my Granddad went to as a little boy. Mass tonight was in a side chapel. It is this part of the universality of the Catholic Church that I love. No matter where I go and when I go - it's still Jesus in the Mass. #hocmeumcorestgratum (at St Ignatius Church)

Day 20 :: NAME :: Looking to St. Joseph this morning for inspiration in how to live God's will in my life. It is His will that I wish to follow, not my own. #hocmeumcorestgratum #projectblessed #holylens

Spent some time driving the Gator around these woods today. Great way to spend the afternoon and experience something different! #projectblessed #hocmeumcorestgratum
