I’m writing this 2021 year-end reflection for myself, while sharing it with others in case it is helpful. This post is part of my process of moving forward after a tumultuous year. 2021 presented some of the most challenging experiences of my life. As of today, it has...
When my great grandparents came over to the United States of America, they became “American.” Much of my maternal Polish and paternal Italian cultures were forgotten. As a child, my mom was forbidden from learning Polish. The only things that survived from...
“You have one test, as sure as God, by which to recognize if what you learned is true: If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned God’s lesson...
