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.

 

What services do you provide?

1) At JustLovePrints.com, I design Catholic home décor and gifts for every occasion!

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?

Kimberly Cook

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.

Meet our Retreat Speaker: Sarah Dickerson! Not onl Meet our Retreat Speaker: Sarah Dickerson!
Not only is Sarah one of the Founders of @msc_highschool Martin Saints Classical High School, a Master of Theology as well as Theology of the Body and an experienced lecturer… she is also no stranger to Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreats!
But none of those reasons is why she was chosen to give a talk at this year’s retreat.
She was chosen because Sarah would put the best Zen  Master to shame (thank you Colleen for this incredible description).
When I want advice, I often go to Sarah.
If you know Sarah and you are asked to think of the calmest person you know… you think of Sarah.
Sarah has 7 children.
Sarah works, volunteers, entertains and often picks up adjunct positions at the archdiocese’s seminary.
Yet through it all, she remains Calm in Christ.

There are still a handful of spots left for the 2026 Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat. Registration will close when spots fill up or on Thursday… whichever comes first!

Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed… Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed…
When I discovered this in my basement, my daughter grabbed it and ran off… I still have some speed left in me. “Secrets” recovered 😅.

Writing in a diary or a journal is much different than writing and sharing on social media… especially for kids and teens. Dr. Leonard Sax (author of The Collapse of Parenting) shares in his talks how writing in a diary or journal is living… but writing and posting is performing.

The young need the space to write out of the public eye.

Also… remember the Cabbage Patch Kids 😂!?
