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.

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.

If you’re looking for advice… let me introduce you If you’re looking for advice… let me introduce you to Mother, I mean Saint, Teresa of Calcutta…

Mother Teresa gives the BEST advice! Smile at one Mother Teresa gives the BEST advice!

Smile at one another!!!

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

Give yourself fully to God! He will use you to accomplish great things!

What advice from Mother Teresa is your favorite? What advice would you add from Saint Teresa of Calcutta?

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 😂!?

Hi, I’m Amy and I am so grateful that our Lord walks with us in suffering and in the beauty of everyday life. Let’s pour a glass of wine and pray the Rosary together!

“Pray, hope and don’t worry!”
Saint Padre Pio

We needed a low cost, fun one-day out with our family, and this was great!
 
The Padre Pio museum and the shrine grounds are a great place to pray and learn more about this anything but boring Saint!
And I have to say we all had a blast looking at the nostalgic candy, ordering our ice cream and playing pinball at The Peppermint Stick!

Padre Pio, pray for us!!!

In 2016 I listened to Father Pio Mandato recount t In 2016 I listened to Father Pio Mandato recount this story and I couldn’t help but laugh 😂.

Father Pio Mandato was able to visit Padre Pio a few times as a boy with his Grandfather. He remembered how Padre Pio in the presence of some Capuchins and laymen, Padre Pio enjoyed the fellowship and he loved to tell jokes and make his friends laugh.

What a joy to know that those in heaven have a sense of humor!

Saint Padre Pio, pray for us!

#Catholic #PadrePio #holysmokes #holyhumor #funny
When I was growing up my friend used to invite me When I was growing up my friend used to invite me to go to “fellowship” with her at their church. That was not a word or idea I was familiar with… 

Later I was taught that faith is a gift… but I didn’t truly understand that until it was faith that was keeping me hanging on…
Having friends to share prayer intentions with and who will not only pray with you but laugh and become your community is priceless,
5 Stars: Highly recommend!

Let us pray together for our priests! In the name Let us pray together for our priests! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Saint Teresa of Avila is credited with this quote: “Behind each priest, there is a demon fighting for his fall. If we have the language to criticize them, we must have twice as much to pray for them”.

The parish I have been attending for over 20 years has always been blessed either such wonderful priests. I am so grateful, and if I’m being honest, quite sad to see this one go on to another assignment.

Let us fervently pray for all Catholic priests… for they truly help us know and love Jesus Christ more.

God bless Father Windle … and @irishclan7 we loved the ice cream truck at his farewell. Our twins had actually made up a song they would sing on pancake breakfast days… perhaps one day I’ll convince them to sing it for you or for Father Windle 😉 

If you’ve read this far, comment the name of a priest you are praying for!
