I wasn’t going to write this post. Stubbornly de I wasn’t going to write this post. Stubbornly determined to wallow in how shitty this year has been for literally the entire planet, but I do have things to be thankful for and I shouldn’t forget that. 1. Thankful I have a house that I love & a big backyard. 🏡 2. Thankful I have such a wonderful, close-knit family. 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👦 3. Thankful we did not experience financial insecurity this year. 💰 4. Thankful for my health, even as problematic as it is. 🏥 5. Thankful for an amazing neighborhood community! 🍻 6. Thankful for my support system. 👭 7. Thankful for loving the kitchen. 🥘 8. Thankful (sometimes) I have a big mouth and I use it. 🗣 9. Thankful for structure, the ritual, the rhythm of Catholic life. ⛪️ 10. Lastly, I am thankful for life. Too many people had theirs cut short this year and I am so incredibly blessed to still be here. Hopefully I can do good with this gift. 😷 ••• #covidthanksgiving #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2020 #thankful #blessed #happythanksgivng #floridathanksgiving
Did I really need another cookbook? 📖 👩🏻‍🍳 Technically NO. The Internet literally has everything but I bought another cookbook. I follow @nocrumbsleft on Instagram & I really wanted to financially support their beautiful cooking. 🥘 🍲 I do genuinely prefer cooking out of a cookbook than recipes on the Internet. I also love the magic of opening a cookbook to a random page and picking a recipe. When looking on the Internet, I kind of have to know what I really wanna make. ••• “Find God amidst the pots & pans.” - St. Teresa of Avila ••• #whatsfordinner #nocrumbsleft #cooking #cookbooks #cookbookaddict #kitchen #jisforjourney #saltfatacidheat #vivavegan #raisingthesaladbar #whole30 #whole30recipes

#catholicgifts ideas for All Saints & All Souls! 👼👻 A few years ago while sponsoring the lovely @haleyyjoannn into the Catholic Church I wanted to step up #rcia a notch with liturgical gifts. My first one was a set for #hallowtide 🎃👻I bought her a book of Saints, deck of saint cards & a glass jarred candle with a sharpie. 🕯🙏 The idea is that you write the names of your dead on the candle to pray for them the month of #november ☠️ ☠️ #eternalrest “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.” #catholicchurch #jisforjourney #allsaints #allsoulsday #catholic #catholicsofinstagram #mementomori #livesofthesaints

This is a still from the film Marie Antoinette, I’m a HUGE fan (of the movie & the queen) 👸🏻 Do yourself a favor & @youtube the “I Want Candy” song from the movie 🍭 🎵 🍬 🎶 It’s the perfect TREAT! #jisforjourney #marieantionette #historylovers #queen
Day 2 of the #halloweenchallenge by @accessible.ar Day 2 of the #halloweenchallenge by @accessible.art.history 😈👻☠️🎃Tricky Art!! “Trompe l’oiel” is French for “to fool the eye” and it’s a perfect example of tricky art. Baroque churches are known for their over the top decor and details but I think the Sant’Ignazio in Rome takes the cake, the whole cake. 🎂 The ceiling absolutely tricks you into thinking it has opened up to the heavens, yet it’s just a regular old curve roof. You have to stand on this bronze disk swipe ➡️ for the illusion to work perfectly. ⛪️😳❤️ ••• #jisforjourney #santignazio #baroque #baroquechurch #rome #ceiling #challengesbyaah #halloween #historychallenge #accessiblearthistory #arthistorymatters #historyofart #arthistorian #catholicsofinstagram #catholicchurch
Day 1 of the #halloweenchallenge by @accessible.ar Day 1 of the #halloweenchallenge by @accessible.art.history 🎃 👻👹😈 Favorite Spooky Work of Art!!! I guess this counts as a spooky piece, but I just see it as beautiful. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s a fresco (a painting on a wall) in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. On top is Masaccio’s Trinity, however I want to focus on the bottom. There you see a skeleton & the words, translated into in English, “I once was what you are and what I am you also will be.” This is called a Momento Mori, a reminder of death. ☠️ ☠️☠️☠️#mementomori #challengesbyaah #halloween #historychallenge #accessiblearthistory #arthistorian #jisforjourney #instafineart #arthistorymatters #masaccio #trinity

I could say a lot in this post but here’s one th I could say a lot in this post but here’s one thing I will lay out. If you continue to pile stuff on educators, individuals who scrape to find 5 minutes to pee, if you continue to under-train them & under pay them you will continue to reap the ill effects. ••• Friday 10.9.2020 I posted a video, I called it a rant, but it was maybe more of a plea. Asking the community to stop adding more on my our plates. 🤯🤬😭😩🤐My colleagues are crying daily, leaving for mental health reasons, developing stress-related health issues, working 70+ hours when we get paid for 35. ••• My news interview link is in my bio. 🎙📺 We need to stand up for good education.
