Faithful Traveling
Tips, Trips, and Stories From My Faithful Travels
This is IT
It’s crunch time, ladies and gentlemen. Time to deliver final shows to EWTN for the debut of The Faithful Traveler. I’ve been working like crazy (I know... I sound like a broken record...). Last...
When God Demands A Do-Over
Hello everyone and happy new year to you all! I’ve been working like a madwoman, trying to get these shows put together and off to EWTN for approval, and then for final delivery. Keep praying,...
Where I Have Been
Oh, my goodness. I just realized I haven’t blogged since October. I’m sure all five of my readers have been dying to know (lol). Well, if you’re keeping up with us on Facebook, odds are you have...
Team TFT Conquers St Patrick’s Cathedral
Oh, ok, we aren’t officially a team... I mean, if I was running my own little empire and had the money to create a team, these people would be on it! But yesterday, we really worked like a team, and...
The Faithful Traveler Season One Promos
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on my blog. I’ve been ridiculously busy, both with my regular job as a legal editor and with doing stuff for The Faithful Traveler. While we still have a few...
EWTN Here We Come
Ok, so I’m a few days late posting this exciting news. Blame it on my brilliance. For some reason, I decided to stop drinking coffee two days before a shoot. I’ve had a withdrawal headache ever...
Filming in NYC
I’d better post about this before I forget! I’ve been so exhausted after recent shoots... I choose to blame it on the heat rather than on my increasing age... LOL. Age is nothing to me. How I feel...
On Dealing with Imperfection
I think we all have aspects of our lives that are far from perfect, far from what we wish they would be. I certainly do. And generally, my response to those parts of life tends to be impatience....
On Keeping Busy and Not Being Glamorous
Things have been quiet around here. Although we have a few more locations to shoot, it’s been raining almost every other day in the Tri-State Area (we had golf-ball-sized hail the other day!!), so...
Bringing Out the Light
Not too long ago, Julie, of the blog Happy Catholic, shared the following quote: At times, you will be able to speak about eternity, when present trials will be transformed into glory; but it isn't...
Cathedral of Mary Our Queen
Working hard as usual. This weekend, I’m getting ready for our last scheduled shoot—not our last shoot, just the last one that has been scheduled—at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore. I’m...
An Old Cathedral Celebrates 200 Years
Last Sunday, I spent the day at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral . It’s called “Old” not because it has been around for 200 years, but because it was the cathedral of the diocese (later archdiocese),...
This is How We Do It Baby
I have so much work to do, but I just had the most perfect day, so I wanted to share. But before I get into that, I suppose I should explain a bit about why I’m here. I’m staying in NYC this week in...
Priests and Indulgences
As you know, we recently were blessed to attend and film the ordinations in the Archdiocese of Newark at the amazing Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Thirteen young men were ordained to the...
Ordinations in Newark
WOW. I mean, WOW. I’m trying to get my thoughts together for a post, but there was so much to see, and so much to say about today’s events, I just want to ask you all to please keep these 13 new...
Filming Old St Patricks
This last Wednesday, David and I drove to New York City to film Episode 7 of The Faithful Traveler, featuring New York’s Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral. For the first time ever, we hired a second...
Happy Saint Rita Day
Today is the Feast day of Santa Rita di Cascia, an amazing saint with an amazing story. We love Saint Rita, and will be including the National Shrine of St Rita of Cascia in Philadelphia in Season...
Next on the Docket
So, what’s next for The Faithful Traveler? This weekend and next Tuesday, we’ll be filming at Newark, New Jersey’s blow-your-mind-amazing Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Check out my photos...
The Blue Army Shrine
This week, David and I went to the Blue Army Shrine to film the events they had planned to commemorate the first Marian Apparition at Fatima on May 13, 1917. I added photos of our time there here....
The Amazing Art of Anthony Visco
Recently, I was privileged to attend an art exhibit, at which a local—and exceedingly talented—artist, Anthony Visco, exhibited his oil paintings of the Mysteries of the Rosary. There were a bunch...
