(You can read my original blog post from this date in 2008 HERE.) So, happy anniversary me! And thank you to all of you who have followed me over the years and who continue to show up here again and again. I am forever grateful. It’s been an am

| Magnificent! Not only is the story riveting, but the writing is next level. So clear why this won a Pulitzer. I finished the book last night but plan to go back and re-read the first and last chapters because I want to savor and soak it all in again. ...more | |

| Didn’t know this was a I picked it up on the recommendation of a friend. It was great and interesting, but it think it would have made a lot more sense had I read My Name Is Lucy Barton first. | |

“So often, even when we stop to say a blessing before a meal, we’re mentally preparing to spoon some pasta or potatoes onto our plates. We’re not usually focused on the present moment, simply placing ourselves before our food and entering into the still, slow space where eating is done for eating’s sake and not something we do simply to get to the next thing on our list.”
― Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God

“By becoming aware of God’s Spirit, by slowing down and paying attention to the tastes and sounds and smells of the food we make and eat, we infuse our meals—and by extension our hearts—with a sense of awe, a depth of prayer that cannot help but transform our mindless eating into moving meditations.”
