Welcome!

In lieu of the traditional 50,000 word fictional manuscript typically produced during National Novel Writing Month, I am choosing to write a daily examen reflection here!

Each day I will practice the examen, synthesize it in a post, and include a photograph from the day. My prayer is that I will find Christ working within and around us, and that my heart will rejoice in wonder at His goodness!

Would you join me in participating in NaNoWriMo and/or practicing St. Ignatius’ examen this month?
Check out NaNoWriMo here or tips on the examen here and here and here.

May we see Christ in all things and grow in His creative Spirit together!
