Ignatian Spirituality and Teens
My writing got published at jesuits.org ! I wrote about the challenges my students face in navigating these times of existential crisis, which have spanned their entire lives and been broadcast widely on media.

Moral Mondays at the Border

Weekend Reading – August 16
It's Friday again! This week flew by for me with preparing for classes and then teaching them! But I gathered up a good batch of reading and listening for you to enjoy over the weekend!

A prayer-cast, if you will. Enjoy!

Indeed, it seems that Russell Brand is quite a cogent and sensitive thinker... who knew? And of course you *know* I’m down with Brené (see my aforementioned attraction to Sincere Southern Christian White Women). So, I decided to give …
