Is anyone curious anymore? I indict myself when I offer this question. Chick A and I were real curious for awhile, and our curiosity led us to be received into The Universal Church. There must be a correlation between extreme busy-ness and lack of curiosity, because the busier I am the more I just want [...]

Clear your calendar 8:00 p.m. Pentecost Sunday for some “Chick Chatter” on the radio! Yes, you’ll be able to hear our two tongues of fire from 8:00 – 9:00 p.m. on Gainesville, GA station WDUN AM 550 or FM 102.9. If you aren’t in North Georgia, you may listen live via the web at Totus [...]

It’s official. I am the mother of two teenagers. It happened back in April when my youngest turned 13, and since then I’ve been putting some thought into what my headstone should say. One of my friends who outlives me needs to make sure that these 4 little words make it onto my grave [...]

Although I have not done any systematic analysis on this, I think I put on mascara about every 15 days or so. I don’t know, I suppose I’m just in a phase of life where I don’t really need it. A lot of my time recently has been spent cooking, cleaning, and driving my pick [...]

It’s time to properly introduce you all to my blue truck, Ramses Maria. She is a 1984 GMC, in case you were curious. How she came into my life is quite a story; suffice it to say that my dear husband- when he was on mega doses of steroids – purchased her, had her painted [...]

Reading Rebecca Teti’s article entitled “Apostolate of Fun” has confirmed something that Chick A and I have long discussed, even before becoming Catholic. That is, the world is in need of much more good, clean fun. Thanks to our fathers who were jovial, gregarious and – dare I say it- downright merry, we come from [...]

We are STILL stuck down here in “Hot-lanta” – seriously, between Christmas break and now these extended snow days, our kids have gone to school for 4 days in the last month. My husband commented that it felt like half of a summer vacation. Last night I had nacho chips and a grapefruit for dinner. [...]

Somehow I landed a position on the “Scarf Security Team” (SST) for the relics (a scarf and gloves) of St. Gianna that were at Holy Spirit Catholic Church last fall. Chick K (a cradle Catholic) asked me if I would be willing to assist with veneration of the relics after Mass. “Well, what will my duties [...]

I am pleased to report that I made a tiny bit of progress in my Advent/Christmas resolution . . . but it was actually just small steps in peeling back the “Martha Stewart” layers to experience the true meaning of Advent and Christmas. There is room for improvement next year. However, I did find [...]

I have never thought of purple as a fashion color – my wardrobe mainly consists of earth tones – browns, beiges, black and olive green. But when Chick B and I spoke at the St. Pius Mother’s Club Advent Dinner, we were greeted with a sea of ladies in purple . . . and it [...]
