Catholic Social Media Influencers: Volume 2

Catholic Social Media Influencers is a group I created and manage on Facebook.  This amazing community of both men and women write, own businesses, create products and truly embrace God’s will in their lives.  Each of them inspire, educate and genuinely care for their readers.

DESSERTS

I encourage you to

visit their websites,

follow them on social media

and consider how they can help your faith grow.

Keep them in mind if your brand desires help in spreading a message or making an announcement.

And consider looking further into the services they provide.

This week, I am featuring Jeanie Egolf,  and Anni Harry.

Jeanie Egolf

JeanneE

Creator of the Molly McBride series, I’m actually a retired Internal Medicine physician-turned homeschooling mom/author/artist. Art was my first love in life, but I took a brief 20 year hiatus to study and practice medicine. With the birth of my second child, I realized I couldn’t be the kind of mom–or doctor–I needed to be by continuing either of those careers in a part-time fashion. It took a couple years to acclimate to life outside a hospital, but once I stopped hallucinating pagers going off all the time, I returned to the arms of my first love, art. (My hubby is just SOOO patient with me!)

 

“Besides returning to the real world as a wife, mother, author/illustrator, I have also had the enormously beautiful experience of being a prodigal daughter or sorts. I lost my faith during the long, dark years I searched for answers through science, erroneously thinking that by becoming an expert in the medical field I could fill a void I now know can only be filled by Jesus Christ. I began reading theology books when my oldest was 3. Before long, I had to admit to myself, sorta like Dorothy, that, “There’s no place like home.” I came full-circle and realized Catholicism is the only faith that makes sense, yes, even from a scientific standpoint! I am passionately in love with this beautiful faith and use art and writing to do my part in sharing it. The Molly McBride series fosters vocations awareness through children’s fiction: the main character is a little girl who wants to me a nun when she grows up.”

What type of wine is your favorite?

Fave wine: Pinot Noir. Goes with everything.

What is your favorite chocolate?

Fave chocolate: In medicine there is a phrase “TNTC” when the slide under the microscope has so many of something it can’t be measured by eye. “Too numerous to count!” Amy, I think I told you once that the best dessert I ever ate was this peppermint patty pie at a restaurant in Destin Florida that has since closed. Noooooo! But I can make do with some dark chocolate truffles, preferably Godiva or Lake Champlain. In a pinch, I could possibly survive on Reese’s Cups and Peppermit Patties. With a nice pinot noir, of course!

What is your favorite prayer and/or quote?

Fave prayer: Our Father. It’s just so universal. I’ve had to learn it in Latin, Spanish, and even sign language, and we’re working on learning it in French in our homeschool. It really is the perfect prayer. It covers everything!

What services do you provide?

I do freelance work as a book illustrator mostly, but I also take on other design jobs such as logos, brochures, etc. I use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign and a handful of other apps and programs in my work. If time allows, I will accept some watercolor painting commissions as well. To see some examples of my work, you can check out my Adobe Behance profile https://www.behance.net/jeanieegolf9ab or visit www.mollymcbrideandthepurplehabit.com. Email me directly at Jeanie.egolf@gmail.com with your project inquiries, and I’ll get you work estimate as soon as possible. Blessings!

I am a proud Army wife, who is a social-worker turned stay-at-home-mom and Catholic mommy blogger. I have two human puppies, and two furry pups. Having close to 4,000 clinical hours working with children and families, and an emphasis on military families, my mission is to spread empowerment, faith, love, education, and awareness through writing about my faith, family, and the military lifestyle.

What type of wine is your favorite? .

Being pregnant or nursing now for the past five years, I have had a convenient excuse to not drink! Don’t hurt me, but I am not a wine drinker, unless you count chilled, sparkling grape juice. That said, I have learned I dislike the taste of most alcohol – if you can mask the flavor of the alcohol, I’m all for it… so, I prefer Midori Sours or Mudslides, although I can usually stomach a full Guinness, too!

What is your favorite chocolate?

A better question is what isn’t? Honestly, I love chocolate truffles – usually milk chocolate ones, but I have some negotiability with the truffles!

What is your favorite prayer and/or quote?

“Jesus, I trust in You.” Five simple, powerful words which convey the depths of Jesus’ Mercy and Love for us.

What services do you provide?

I currently provide empowerment and faith-based encouragement through my blog, along with a healthy dose of gentle parent education and guidance. I’m available to tailor posts regarding parenting and social-emotional development with children, and address family dynamics, with a special emphasis on military family life, as well. I also facilitate a separate blogging cohort, with almost a dozen individual bloggers, geared at encouraging women in all vocations.

I used to be a public speaker and family-instructor, and would love to get back into that arena in the future. Until my family and its transient lifestyle can stabilize, I am available to write for faith-based websites and doing sponsored posts. My rates are available on request!

Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls is a fun Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls is a fun and creative space for young girls to discover how unique and beautiful they were created and discover her God given mission!

Here is what some parents have said in reviews:

“ I love that it is culturally relevant without compromising on the teachings of the Catholic Church. I highly recommend this journal! I have 4 daughters so I will be buying more and giving as gifts whenever I can!”

“This journal beautifully combines Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Communion of Saints into something super attractive for young women. We are using this with the young women at our parish to help them affirm their identity as a beloved daughter of God, rather than any other way the world tries to identify them or tries to persuade them to identify themselves. The coloring pages, the letters from the Saints, the questions, the “All About Me” section, are ALL so needed for our young women”

“She’ll plan on spending 5 minutes working in it and before she knows it, an hour has passed by. She enjoys reflecting parts she has already read or worked on as well as exploring new parts of the book. “

This journal is enjoyed by girls ages 9 to 13!!!

Give them as Christmas gifts!

I’m so thankful for my family.
Thanksgiving wasn’t perfect, my parents couldn’t join us because they are sick (please pray for them!) and I have been battling a cough that won’t quit for over a week, but life is full of blessings among its challenges!

My brother made the kids laugh hysterically.
And having siblings is such a blessing!
Not pictured- my sister and brother-in-law that hosted. 
Special thank you to them too! 

I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for you too!

I’m heading back to cuddling on the couch, eating soup and taking medicine!
Hope you’re feeling well!

I’m so thankful @voyagecomics exists! I put this I’m so thankful @voyagecomics exists! I put this small Catholic business on my gift guide, but couldn’t include pictures with every suggestion. My 11 year old truly enjoys reading these Catholic comic books, and we started reading that Voyage Classic together the other night! I was looking up when it was originally published and said it out loud…”1912” And he responds right away, “the year the Titanic sunk”.
Haha, why yes, that is correct!
Anyway, if you’re looking for some Catholic gifts for 12 year olds… I suggest:
1. A Be Yourself Journal 
2. Some Voyage Comics 
3. A Prayer Pillowcase  @prayerpillowcases 
(Xavier  picked his out himself)!
It’s a great, yet subtle reminder for him to pray at night 😉

Three ways to nourish and encourage faith during t Three ways to nourish and encourage faith during those tween years:
1. Show a sincere interest in their interests and point out their virtues and strengths. Share stories from your life at that age. Yes, they do want to hear your stories… which probably include similar worries and struggles!
2. Assure her that God has given her talents and missions that are unique to her alone. Reassure her that what may seem like little acts of kindness are really big and amazing. Tell her that she will discover greater talents in the future, but every act of love is heroic.
3. Model and share acts of service that bring you JOY. When discussing how God created us to know Him, love Him and serve Him, point out that many ways we serve are enjoyable! Simply sharing a smile is doing the Lord’s work in some situations.

And BONUS TIP- Even the Holy Family didn’t smoothly sail through these years ask… pray a lot, it helps!!!

When Hannah was in the thick of her “tween years When Hannah was in the thick of her “tween years “, the Be Yourself Journal was published and I gave her one. She helped me promote it by letting me take her picture with it -and we even had a Be Yourself Journal party at her house where we decorated the back cover with some of her friends and sisters.
Hannah is now a young adult, and when we were talking the other night at the Sip and Shop she said, “I used my journal EVERY DAY!
I asked her if she would right that down so others could see how enjoyable and helpful this journal truly is!
She said yes 🙂
Thank you Hannah!
I still have some in stock, get the girls you know and love one today!

“ I was really hesitant at the idea of a journal “ I was really hesitant at the idea of a journal... for boys.

Boys don’t like to “journal,” right? But I gave it a try - because it’s Catholic, and it looked super cool! When it arrived in the mail, my 9 year old was - to my surprise - super excited!! He tore open the package and actually hugged the book.” Sara Estabrooks @tojesussincerely 

“ I ordered the Be Yourself Journal for my 14-year-old son. I was a little unsure if it would be suitable for him or not because of his older age. My son absolutely loves it!“ Joyanna Deshaune @wellwithjoy
