Emily Ley, author, blogger, and founder of The Simplified Planner®, has written a breathtaking book for tweens called Grace Not Perfection: Believing You’re Enough In A World of Impossible Expectations. It’s the young-reader version of her original book, Grace Not Perfection: Embracing Simplicity, Celebrating Joy. I highly recommend this book for Christian girls who check […]
Saint Bridget and Humble Flight From the World
St. Bridget of Sweden wrote five inward and five outward things we must have. This wise instruction was given to her by Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Until today, I had never read these words. They are so beautiful, I wanted to pass them along to you. “Daughter, you must have five inward things and […]
Bridgy Twirls in the Stockyards City Christmas Parade

The Astronaut and Piñata (Halloween 2017)
This was the first year in many years that I didn’t have a 35 mm digital camera on Halloween. Nikon Baby is still in the camera hospital in Los Angeles. Clearly, that fall I took at Bridgy’s spring baton twirling competition in Amarillo broke more than my pride. Anyway, here are the best pictures I […]
