I first became interested in blogging when I was invited to be one of the bloggers for CatholicDigest.com. After several years, that program was ended in the summer of 2012.  My son has set this site up for me, and will be adding posts with me from time to time, since I've found I enjoy putting thoughts into words and seeing what folks think of them.

Just a bit about myself for the first post then. I am a Catholic, though not a "cradle" one, having come into the Church December 12, 1981.  For the Saint savvy among you, you will realize that is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A rather fitting day, as my ancestry is of the Native American Tribes of the Lakota and Cherokee. I "put paid" to the idea that I was officially Catholic in my family's eyes when I married a Catholic in 1983, and later had a nice Catholic baby in 1987. I have a college degree in Recreation, though I no longer work in that field.

I am an artist, using the mediums of oils, water colors, and acrylics. I like to do wood carving, and sculpting in clay. I also make jewelry and rosaries, as well as dream catchers and other Native art. I play a Native Flute and sing a bit as well.

I am disabled, having been in a wheelchair full time since 1998. Although this does not define me, it is a part of me, and so should be included.
This blog is mostly going to be about what it is to be a Catholic in the Bible Belt, and a convert at that. I live in Kentucky, the extreme eastern edge of the central part of the state, the area known as the Gateway to the Bluegrass. It will include thoughts and ideas about what it is to be Catholic, as well as musings on the Bible, faith, spirituality, etc.
I look forward to sharing with you. I'm not a professional writer, but I do enjoy writing. I hope to get discussions started, and minds working. I hope to make you think, question, laugh, cry, and just become "friends" in Christ with as many as possible of you. I invite your thoughts and ideas, and look forward to hearing from you.  Come along for the journey!   Blessings.
