Someone wondered on the telephone, then, she just feels a perpetual sadness; I responded I thought that was a part of her joy.  Now, I heard a Joyful Mystery meditation: "We need to pay attention to the voice of God, discern His call, and accept the mission He gave us.  After Simeon's prophecy, Mary takes into her heart the wound of sorrow, but in the silence she accepts the will of her Father."  I received an even deeper appreciation for our conversation, then, today.

Walk. Wag. Repeat.

Fit check!  My Nitto Nomad Grapplers arrived!  I waited years for these tires to arrive on the market to fit my vision and another year to fit the budget.  I am still creating my very own bumper sticker 🎣 and my vision will be complete.  My bumper sticker inspiration courtesy of “Beau”: I never stuck it on my dogwalking vehicles, though.   Thank you, Guardian Angel, for turning the wheel just right. I wanted to keep Beau’s gift of encouragement to me in a bumper sticker in keepsake condition.  Once upon a time…  But I would walk “500” miles  And I would walk “500” more  Just to be the girl who walked “1000” miles To up- lift her car. Thanks Chris for making my Barbie Jeep dreams come true.  #yourdreamsdontworkunlessyoudo they say. (One day I calculated I dog walked 52 miles/week.  Beau The Dogo Argentina’s mom raised my attention to the reality I had been walking on her watch rain or shine and on rare occasion snow for 2+ years. ...

Completion.

Thank you Matt for taking my picture.  There’s looking at you! I thought some things driving to the grocery store behind a truck and trailer.  First, Yes; that must be some good help in that cab.  Second, that's some well used scaffolding #mindofateacher Third, gratitude for the life of Jesus Christ and Him wanting to share it with me in Him  https ://youtube.com/clip/UgkxzXJyENvvL2pYAws7N3iWv_0Ebl5MCi--?si=mQefTiag4raNoHqP Third, Fourth,  (7/28/24 Thank you Lord God for Your gifts of prayer and promise and wonder of the extraordinary in the ordinary. 🐕‍🦺I am ending my final entry with the beginning of a 54 day Novena for two people I’ve never met, but by powerful mystery beyond my understanding, I feel strangely connected by prayer to pray for. For Elliot and Grace and in Thanksgiving for all holy friendship.  My favorite meditation so far…  I’ll begin the first nine days with a Friendship Novena, too, and try those 54 rosaries for the first time on...

I met Hebrews 1:3 today.  I have a feeling that Scripture is going to be my favorite way He is told.   My favorite way Mary is told is “the greatest enemy of Satan”; I don’t think those exact words are in Scripture but her receptivity is definitely that vibe.    https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/marys-enmity-towards-satan-was-absolute-8038    “On this planet we have a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” -Transformers: Age of Extinction  Mary is the enemy of the enemy; therefore; Mary is my friend.   I thought about how quiet Mary is.  I have seen some images of her crushing the serpent under the weight of her heel while holding Jesus as a baby.  I think that’s my favorite depiction of The Mother of God- Mary defeats evil holding infant hope.  That is mysterious power.  I can sink my teeth into that kind of mystery, and I will want to.   https://nds.edu/blog-entry/mother-mary-warrior-queen/ I only remember ...
