I’m Lindsay. I’m a graphic designer and illustrator who’s following God’s crazy plans one day at a time! I left my full time job last year to more fully pursue my two businesses, Just Love Prints and Juneberry Creative. Every day brings new opportunity, and I’m loving every minute of it! My husband and I are also expecting a little girl in less than a month. We are over-the-moon excited to be parents!

What type of wine is your favorite?

Not a wine drinker, but I LOVE hot chocolate! (Even in the summer!)

What is your favorite chocolate?

Anything with caramel in it!

What is your favorite prayer and/or quote?

This prayer by St. Teresa of Avila has been speaking to me lately. It’s so good!

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.

After graduating college last year (Business Management with a Theology minor), I’m back home in the Bay Area working for a Catholic publisher and figuring out life as a young Catholic professional.

I am passionate about being the best version of ourselves, my faith, life issues (whole spectrum from womb to tomb), and figuring out what it means to be a faithful Catholic in our crazy world. Deep conversations over coffee, beautiful music, holding babies, sweaty workouts, cooking, a good book, sunshine, hikes, and helping other people make me feel alive. I also enjoy finding treasures on Craigslist and talking about controversial issues.

What type of wine is your favorite?

Sangria

What is your favorite chocolate?

Probably chocolate covered things (almonds or raisins), or just a square of dark chocolate

What is your favorite prayer and/or quote?

There are so many, but Radiating Christ by Blessed John Henry Newman is a favorite of mine.

Dear Jesus, help us to spread Your fragrance everywhere we go.

Flood our souls with Your Spirit and Life.

Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly,

that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours.

Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with

may feel Your presence in our soul.

Let them look up and see no longer us but only Jesus!

Stay with us and then we shall begin to shine, as You shine;

So to shine as to be a light to others;

the light, O Jesus, will be all from You, none of it will be ours;

it will be You shining on others through us.

Let us thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around us.

Let us preach You by our words and by our example,

by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what we do,

the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to You. Amen.

What services do you provide?

I am an ENFP – the ultimate free spirit with a spark of madness! With that small 7% of the population, I can’t help the fact that I talk to strangers, jump in with both feet, and often say too much.

I am an artist, musician, avid traveler, outdoors girl, and bookworm. I hate running late and being disorganized – but I do it anyway!

Academically, I hold degrees in Fine Arts, Philosophy, Mental Health, and a Masters of Systematic Theology. With that said, I have worked on a ranch, as a whitewater rafting instructor, Pregnancy Center Director, in various roles of ministry, and as a High School Theology teacher outside DC. Basically, I’ve walked the line baby!

What type of wine is your favorite?

An Argentinian Malbec is probably my favorite kind of wine, but any red with a deep chocolate flavor will do!

What is your favorite chocolate?

The older I get, the darker I like my chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. I don’t know if that’s saying something about me – but it’s true! Chocolate paired with mint or PB is always a force to be reckoned with.

What is your favorite prayer and/or quote?

One of my all time favorite prayers is the litany of humility. It just puts everything in perspective and helps (of course) cultivate the much needed virtue of humility within us. Also the Anima Christi is simple, yet profound.

What services do you provide?

I share many helpful resources on The Lion of Design, for those hoping to grow in faith, know the truth, and find deeper joy in parenthood.

I have co-authored a book for adults, which is a remarkable evangelization tool to read and pass on to those people struggling with faith, who present difficult cases in your life. I also wrote and illustrated a children’s book introducing prayer and thanksgiving, and a love for the vocation of family life. Both books are available for purchase on my website.

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

You are the average of the five people you spend t You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," popularized by Jim Rohn, suggests that your mindset, behaviors, and success are heavily influenced by your closest  circle. These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.

Cheers to Friday! 🍷 I was SO EXCITED when a while Cheers to Friday! 🍷
I was SO EXCITED when a while back THE @stephanieweinert Stephanie Weinert tagged me in her #7quicktakes #sevenquicktakes #fridayintroductions post.

I’m jumping in today! 

1. I recently took my own “headshots”. The first photo is one of MANY photos I took. It was super windy that day. If you need professional photos… give it a try - you can save a ton of $ this way! I used a tripod and my phone!

2. I see a lot of people posting photos of 2016. In 2016 I heard Gianna Emanuela (daughter of Saint Gianna) give a talk. I remember thinking, “her Dad sounds like a saint too!” I got to meet her. My husband and oldest son met her and asked her to pray that we could adopt again. 40 weeks later our twins were born!

3. Gianna Emmanuela is doing all she can to help the world see how holy her Father was. She has made prayer cards with Ecclesiastic approval. I’m asking Pietro Molla to intercede for a special intention. I will post more about this soon! He is such an inspiring man!

4. I have two guilty pleasures. I love getting my hair done and every once in a while I get a box from Stitch Fix. My coat was in one of those boxes.

5. I can’t remember all the pictures I chose for this post. I’m super forgetful. It’s not my age, I’ve always been this way. Saint Anthony is busy with just me most of the time.

6. We are taking our Christmas tree down this weekend. I loved our tree so much this year. My husband, all 3 children and me picked it out. We all agreed upon it and it really is so perfect.

7. I’m not so great at tech. I don’t know how to go back and see which pictures I posted without deleting this whole post. I promised after this post I would play a @saints.alive.pod episode for my daughter. I’m off to listen to another episode for at least the 3rd time. Hoping a new one comes out soon 😉 

Thank you for reading all that! I’m so grateful you’re here! Tell me something about you!!!

Thank you Stephanie for tagging me months ago? ago… This is how behind I am on everything!
