I credit my personal Consecration to Mary, the 33 day Total Consecration as created by St Louis de Montfort, with keeping myself and my children alive and reasonably safe during the worst years of abuse - and ultimately ensuring my return to the Catholic Church once it was safe! Hadrian is
My dearest friend. Josh only recently became permitted to receive visitors and we are now unable to go up and visit him due to the financial issues. Please donate if you want a reunion of forgiveness and mercy!
Saint Clotilda is now Hadrian's confirmation Saint! In addition to being a queen and wife of Clovis, king of the Franks, founder of modern France and the original Frog Prince! Yes, there will be a fun explainer post about that... I didn't ask the AI to

November was the worst. I thought October was bad, but I thought I had months to sell up and sort out my life, and plenty of help available. Turned out to be weeks, and no help. Our local church leader froze me out and warned everyone to stay away from
Because otherwise Episode 29 of WOSF, and indeed entire parts of the series, won't make much sense, like, who are these people, and what was some of the stuff going down in Utah anyway? Wildflower Seeds is the immediate prequel that covers from the time of Hadrian'
The subtitle is a Mormon reference, and so is my prayer at the end. I learned some important and useful habits and skills during my time with the Mormons - prayerful scripture reading, daily journal writing, listening to my heart for answers to prayer, praying actively as a child of God
It's Divine Mercy Sunday, y'all! Which we had NO IDEA about, not yet paying attention to ecclesiastical calendars, when we just rolled up to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, not knowing what that place was either, but thinking that it sounded rather Catholic sounding
