Dear Carrie,
Wow. I am so in awe of all you’re doing. I’m so happy that Cravings has been some small part of that. Thank you for being part of the tribe! And thank you for sharing here.
Peace,
Mary

My prayer life includes the readings from the daily mass on most days. I pray the rosary on my way to work and try to fit it in other days. The N-90 includes a 54 day Rosary novena, the Angelus,daily holy hour, daily mass, night prayers, evening examen of conscience. There is a commitment to daily exercise. Also days of fasting and other mortifications included. This may seem unbalanced and extreme but the way I lived my life before was to do things when I wanted to do them, if I felt like it. Reading Cravings has helped me to be gentle with myself but to challenge myself at the same time. Please pray for me as I embark this venture. I’m hoping to work on my constancy and build on my trust in the Lord and let go of the negativity.

Cook and have dinner every night with my husband. Have simplified meals…decreased the choices……increased planning…every day is a new day.

Candles and prayer box are out. Still struggling to keep the balance during the day. Kid worry. No matter how old they are. It still sits on my heart
