Welcome to our Journey
Lizz and I have created this space as a way to share our Catholic journeys—both personal and shared—as we walk in faith and grow and grow in God’s mercy. As we embark on this new adventure, we felt called to begin by reflecting on our recent pilgrimage experiences during this Jubilee Year.
This July, we traveled on a pilgrimage that deeply moved us. Through this blog, we hope to recount those sacred moments, offering glimpses into the awe-inspiring places we visited and the spiritual blessings we received along the way. These posts will serve not only as a record of our journey, but also as a companion to the book we are writing about the experience.
Our pilgrimage reflections will be interwoven with other posts—snapshots of our ongoing lives as Catholic women, friends, mothers, and wives. We invite you to walk with us, to reflect with us, and perhaps to find in our stories something that resonates in your own faith journey.

Grieving with Hope: Finding Peace in Scripture and Shared Loss
Grieving with Hope is a heartfelt reflection on how scripture can bring comfort during deep loss. After losing two classmates, Romans 8:28, shared by a friend before she passed, has stayed with me, reminding me that even in grief, God can bring about good. This post is about missing those we love, leaning on faith, and holding on to the hope that we’ll find peace — together.
