About Me

Hello, my friends. I have been feeling drawn to begin a page where women can find community, inspiration, and encouragement as they strive to live a Catholic life and serve in the home.

A bit about me: from an early age, I loved the Carmelites, and always loved dressing up as a nun. That love grew into serious discernment of a religious vocation, and at 19 years old, I entered a Carmelite monastery. I was there only a few days short of a full year, when it became clear that I was being called elsewhere.

I loved everything about my time in Carmel...everything. Unfortunately, I struggled with the level of solitude because I felt drawn to give and share with others more than I was able to there.

Although I left the cloister walls behind, I continue to carry and treasure the little cloister I have in my heart, where I will always be a little Carmelite.

My sweet husband told me when we were dating to hold onto everything I had experienced and learned in Carmel, and to make it a part of our life together.

I guess that idea is the whole concept of this page: carrying Carmel's beauty and spirituality into daily life as a wife, homemaker, and someday mother.

Please join me on this beautiful journey!
