Organic Mothering has meant so much to me these past few years. Now the time has come to focus my energy on some exciting, new creative projects. A heartfelt thank you to all of those who have read this blog and followed me on my journey. I may occasionally return with updates and new information on what I am up to, but for the time being, I wish you all Godspeed.
With much love and gratitude,

Good Intentions
Good Intentions
Let your intentions in the fulfillment of your duties be so pure that you reject from your actions every other object but the glory of God and the salvation of souls. -St. Angela Merici
— from Sisterhood of Saints
I just had to share this quote from Minute Meditations! This is going to be my guiding mantra from now on. Let us commit these words to our minds and embed them in our hearts. Our journey is to be happy on earth so we can be happy in heaven. Our joy is in the Lord. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matt. 11:30). Nothing else matters. No doubt, criticism, unkindness, or ill treatment from others can get in the way of fulfilling our parental vocation. Here is the impenetrable armor. Here is your sword. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. This is our all.

St. Anne with Mary
As St. Anne taught our Blessed Mother, so I teach my daughter...
DAILY PRAYER TO
SAINT ANNE
O glorious St. Anne,
you are filled with compassion for those who invoke you
and with love for those who suffer! Heavily burdened with
the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at your feet and
humbly beg of you to take the present intention which I
recommend to you in your special care.
Please recommend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and place it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue. Continue to intercede for me until my request is granted. But, above all, obtain for me the grace one day to see my God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the saints to praise and bless Him for all eternity. Amen.

Our Father, . . . Hail Mary . . .
O Jesus, Holy Mary, St. Ann, help me now
and at the hour of my death.
Good St. Ann, intercede for me.
