It was a really wonderful, information filled conference. Fr. Z is a fantastic speaker who got us thinking and made us laugh, the break-out sessions had really good speakers who shared a lot of great information, the banquet had totally fantastic food, and the hotel was lovely, the facilities spacious. I would definitely go to another conference like this one. What did I get out of it personally? Besides the two t-shirts? I am challenged to let go of the comfort zone and put out into the deep. I am terrified. What will come of it has yet to be. … Continue reading
CatholiCon Expo 2011 FRIDAY August 26, 2011 2:30 PM Arrived in good order. Room is lovely, sadly there is a charge for the internet which irks me but I paid it because I need it!

I am eating my lunch late and looking forward to running downstairs to sign in! … Continue reading

It was a very GOOD thing. We did not miss the garbage on the tube and with the internet there was no reason to miss the TV news … Continue reading
CatholiCon Expo 2011 will be in Houston next weekend. It is a conference about the new media efforts that the Pope has been encouraging Catholic laypersons to embrace and use for good. I’m attending because, however inexperienced, I am a blogger and trying to write things worth reading. I will be attending break-out sessions which are listed on the web site here. Clarecamp is an opportunity to learn about effective use of the internet so that perhaps my blog might become something special. I am thrilled that there will be Mass in the Extraordinary Form and breaks for daily prayer. … Continue reading
A plan of life includes time for every essential, or it should do so. Blogging is something I do for many reasons. To share about my journey, my midlife transitions, and moving into my personal vocation in a new way are all reasons why I chose to blog. It requires learning to use new technologies better. I’d jumped into the internet reluctantly. No, lets be honest, 20 years ago I was dragged kicking and screaming into the internet age and discovered I enjoyed Compuserve. Later, when Compuserve was bought out and began to change in ways many of us old … Continue reading
