Life in the Gap. Newer posts →. I’m in training. March 13, 2014. Is it just DC where every activity has to be carried to an absurd level of competition? I had to use this meme. But it gets worse. I don’t even know how to. Is there nowhere in life that “poorly dressed” is an acceptable standard? So…I’m calling this a win. And if you’re working towards a 40-minute 10k anytime between now and June, know that I hate you and I don’t want to talk about it. Profile in the Gap: Blanca Therese Morales. I had alwa...

Life in the Gap. 8220;Go, sell what you have…”. July 23, 2014. Another one of my sisters got married at the end of last month. Maybe it’s because my sisters are so close to me, so involved in all my most important memories, that I struggle to take their weddings seriously. Every time I have to remind myself that this is real; I stand in the vestibule ten minutes before it all begins pinching myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. Perhaps it’s more fair to ask, why have I always struggled to be real? Pleas...

Life in the Gap. How eavesdropping led me to a resolution. 8220;Go, sell what you have…” →. A new profile — in discernment. June 5, 2014. I was blown away over the last two months by people’s generosity in helping me pay off my student loans so I can enter the convent at the end of the summer. So many people have been so incredibly good to me. Now I’m sharing the story of a young lady I recently met who is in a similar circumstance. She hopes to join the cloistered Dominicans. I will carefully make a rec...

Life in the Gap. A new profile — in discernment. A chapter closed →. 8220;Go, sell what you have…”. June 13, 2014. Getting compliments on your personal belongings takes on a whole new meaning when you’re about to get rid of everything you own. In recent months I’ve made more than one loose acquaintance — including my doctor — very uncomfortable when I eagerly asked, “Do you want it? 8221; after they told me they liked something I was wearing. You’ve just been offered the world. I want to shout at him.

Life in the Gap. What’s your story? A new profile — in discernment →. How eavesdropping led me to a resolution. June 4, 2014. One recent morning I sat in a coffee shop doing some freelance work and half listening to two mothers who sat chatting in chairs beside me. One of the women did most of the talking, and she complained. A lot. But after a few minutes of listening I winced — yes, physically winced — as something very unpleasant occurred to me. How often have I been that person pourin...I have a long...
