I haven’t had a chance to blog lately. I’ve had many things to report, but alas, no time in which to write them down. I’ll probably end up doing video blog posts – much better on my wrists (due to all of the typing I’m always doing and my joint pain). But then again, I’d have to put some make up on and get dressed up (at least a bit better than I am usually in my home office out here in the rural woods of Connecticut)!
Just kidding. I don’t really have to do that. You probably wouldn’t mind if I wasn’t dressed up and didn’t have make up on when delivering a message to you. After all, I am all about keeping it real. But, I think you know what I mean. The videoing requires some thinking and planning too. I’d also have to make sure that my office is clean! 😉 So, for now, I’ll simply type away and fill you in a little, at least.
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to the EWTN television network in Irondale, Alabama. There I met with Johnnette Benkovic and we were together on the set and chatted while five shows were filmed on Women of Grace. They will air in the near future and I’ll keep you posted on that.
It was wonderful to see Johnnette again and to share about the crooked path in my life and my memoir The Kiss of Jesus. We discussed some pretty intense issues. These are issues that affect countless women all around the world. I am praying that these shows will impact women’s lives and even help them to heal from deep wounds or at least get them headed in the direction of healing. Please pray for the people who will watch the shows.
In other news, I’m working on some exciting things at the moment as I continue the fight against the four tick-borne diseases I have been plagued with.
I’ll be back to give you more updates when time allows but I need to get to some deadline writing work right now. May God bless you and keep you!
Dear Donna I watched you on Women of Grace. God Bless you!! You are an inspiration to me. I also was in two abuseive relationships. I got divorce twice and was a single mother. I will pray for you. I live in Connecticut also.
I am not Catholic because I got a divorce and have had a hard time finding a Catholic Church that will accept me. So I watch EWTN all the time for my masses and etc. please pray for me to find some trustworthy friends. I can
get lonely a lot. Thank you for your inspiration.
Dear Cindy, Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that. I am glad that you watch EWTN but I hope and pray that you can speak to someone that can help you with regard to come into the graces of the Church. I’m sorry that you are having trouble with that. May God bless you in great abundance! Thank you for praying for me and I will pay for you too.
Hello Donna-Marie. I am so intrigued by your work and am so comfortable listening to you. Mother Teresa, indeed, saw a gift in you. You are personable for the ages. I am a housing administrator in Ct. I serve the very poor and destitute. Those with Aids, dual diagnosis, bed bugs, addiction, you name it. I treat each person with respect and dignity. Some of the folks only get out of bed in the morning so they can say good morning to me. I am deeply humbled by this and try to do nice things for them. I put on socials once a month, such as Apple pie, watermelon and lawn games, or a giant Subway grinder. I have always helped people. This is my passion. I make them remember pleasant times from their childhood. I feel I have a calling to do so and that I have a calling for conversion to the Catholic faith. I would love some insight or direction from you. I thank you in advance.
Dear Tina, Thank you very much for your kind words. Wow, your job and your ministry sound very blessed. You are a special person to arrange the socials and to give special attention to the people you come in contact with. I really like that you encourage the residents to recall childhood memories and that you take the time for them. I suspect that Mother Teresa would be very pleased at your love and care for others. She always served Jesus in everyone she met, fully embracing Jesus’ words, “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do to me.” God bless you, Tina!
