►Support from friends
Thanks to all who have sent wishes and more to support me and my family during these weeks following mom's death (March 28). We are very grateful and draw strength from your thoughts and prayers.
►DVD release
I am very happy to share with you this one hour DVD filmed at Notre Dame Vision. The videographer did a great job producing a quality product. I'm proud of how it came out.
The DVD is a compilation of live shots, humor, and interviews, covering:
•living life (joy) fully
•using your gifts and making a difference
•feeling God's presence within us.
I think it would make a great gift for Confirmation students or graduating seniors. I think it would be a great "pick-me-up" for anyone---adults or teens! Get an order form in the store section of the site.

♦Quotes♦
"Four steps to achievement: plan purposefully, prepare prayerfully, proceed positively, pursue persistently." William Ward
And by loving you will find out what is for you. Loving, you will listen to the Voice. Loving, you will find peace. (Carlo Carretto--Letters from the Desert)
Don’t worry about what you ought to do. Worry about loving. Don’t interrogate heaven repeatedly and uselessly, saying, “What course of action should I pursue?” Concentrate on loving instead.
