To blog or not to blog....

....i've been on hiatus

should i or shouldn't I?

Would I have readers or basically make this a private journal?

Short version of hiatus

2012-2013 - 2nd stint in monastery
2013-2014 - jobless and basically homeless
2014-2015 - Youth Ministry & Evangelization in South Carolina
2016 - moved to Arizona to work in the vineyard

2019 - still here in AZ and now ministering to youth AND young adults!

Winding down

Today. Nothing really exciting. I cleaned the car. Trimmed down some more because I keep thinking I'm bringing too much. Though I have 2 suitcases of books! I'm such a Dominican. ;)

Relaxing now with SC's girls watching Despicable Me. It's such a cute movie.

I am so grateful that through God, I am re-entering tomorrow. :D

So....

So....I got a tattoo. One of my friends said I only live once. I prayed about it and decided to get one.

NOT!!!! :)

GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did NOT get a tattoo today.  I took a picture of my friends' tattoo and posed it as mine...if it was a REAL one, the skin would be red around the edges...and there's no way that my skin color is that light!

Thanks for the laughs.

Thank You

Thank you for all of the lovely comments these last few years that ya'll have posted.
I'm turning off comments tonight.  I don't know if I'll have access again.
I'll continue to blog until Thursday.

You can write me at the monastery if you wish.  I can't guarantee a response.  You can find the sisters' mailing address under the contact tab of the monastery website: http://www.nunsopsummit.org/  Address it to Sr. Deepa.
Please know that you all are in my prayer book, some of you by name!

Travel Day

It was hard leaving today. I took in all the smells in the morning. Coffee brewing.

A 12 hour drive included 4 pit stops. :)
And driving thru the Baltimore Harbor tunnel was awesome.
Because it means I'm about 3 hours from home!!!!

A few pictures from today. I did NOT take my eyes off the road while taking pictures. And yet there is an awesome shot of the Baltimore Harbor tunnel!

The cutting of hair

And now I'm ready for a veil. ;)

Today...so far
