My Sister and Me, or The Big Mess

So, I don’t have the best relationship with my sister—as in, we haven’t talked in over six months. It pains me that we are not in touch, and I know this is a situation I need to rectify, I just don’t know how. My sister […]

Three People you Meet on a Pilgrimage

  So, a week ago I got back from a pilgrimage in Italy.  Now maybe you’re asking—people still go on pilgrimages? And the answer is yes, they do!  The most popular pilgrimage route in modern days is the camino de Santiago in Spain.  However, instead […]
