You probably have a pretty distinct idea of what a daring adventure should be. If you’re hoping for tales of climbing mountains or swimming channels, you’re in for a disappointment. But, if you, like me, find everyday life full of adventure -- even when it involves only traversing the aisles of the grocery store or the highway during rush hour -- then you’ll find all the adventure you need on these pages. Whatever your definition, I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

At this point in my life, my daring adventure is about three things: my family, my writing, and, last but absolutely not least, my faith. I am a mother and a wife, a chronicler of life, and a believer who understands that this journey leads us ever closer to God, even when I feel as though I’m standing still. Although I often don’t understand the plan, I get that there is one and I’m part of it.

 

My big news these days is that my second book, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Catholic Catechism, ” was released by Alpha/Penguin on March 4, so get it while it’s hot. My first book, "Parenting a Grieving Child: Helping Children Find Faith, Hope and Healing after the Loss of a Loved One” (Loyola Press, 2002), is available online and in stores, so get it before it’s not.

While you’re here, I hope you’ll also check out my daily blog, “Not Strictly Spiritual,” as well as "Life Lines," my award-winning monthly column on the wonderful and wacky world of being a mother, wife, daughter and friend.
