Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Praise the good Lord today and every day. Rejoice always & in all circumstances, give thanks! Eternally grateful for these greatest blessings in my life!🙏🏼🍂

If you feel like you and your spouse are ships passing in the night… this simple 5-minute daily check-in has been a game changer for us.

Every night we share 6 quick things (appreciation, new info, a personal struggle, a small complaint with a request, a hope/goal, and a prayer intention). It takes FIVE minutes and has completely changed the way we connect at the end of a long full day. We usually do it over dinner, sometimes after the kids go to bed & if we really missed one another completely we’ll even text our answers the next morning.

I heard this list of key check points recently from Jason & Crystalina Evert on the Pints with Aquinas Podcast & it was shared with them by Dr. Bob Schuchts - all beautiful faithful people who I admire greatly.

I look forward to this practice every day and never want to stop. Let me know if you’re going to try it & how it goes for you!! 💞

As a therapist, I want you to know more than just the answer being a resounding YES. So here are the facts.

P**n & Mental Health: 
• increased rates of depression
• anxiety
• loneliness
• lower life satisfaction
• poor self-esteem
• overall reduced mental wellness

P**n & Relationships:
• More negative communication
• Lower commitment
• Difficulty making adjustments 
• Lower s*xual satisfaction
• Increased infidelity
• Reduced relationship satisfaction
• Higher acceptance of cheating
• Lower trust
• More conflict
• Worse relationship quality overall

Does it really matter?
Yes, and here’s why.

🔴Nearly 75% of children encounter p**n by age 12 (many as young as 8)
🔴At least 1 in 3 p**n videos includes physical or verbal aggression
🔴40–50% of young people believe p**n is a realistic depiction of s*x
🔴P**nography impacts the reward pathways of the brain in ways similar to other addictive substances
🔴P**nography is the third most common form of s*x trafficking

Reduce consumption to reduce demand. This protects our mental health, relationships, families and the human dignity of all.

So grateful for the work does. They are a non-religious, non-legislative nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about the harms of p**nography using science, facts, and real-life stories, so you can make an informed choice.

Happy All Saints Day!💞 may my little holy family be inspired by THE Holy Family all the days of their lives.

We are all called to be Saints. I remember learning who the Saints were for the first time - it wasn’t until graduate school - and it changed my life. Ordinary people who loved God and continued turning back to Him. It’s not something unattainable. We don’t have to have perfect pasts or achieve perfect lives at all. Love God & others in every small ordinary moment & continue turning back to Him every time we get off track. So let’s be Saints!

All the Holy Saints in Heaven, pray for us!!🙏🏼

We LOVE October!🎃💀🍂

As a kid, I always dressed up & went trick or treating with friends and family for Halloween. I didn’t think any more deeply about the day than candy + costumes.

As I became a parent and desired to live a Christ-centered life, I wasn’t sure how to navigate Halloween after hearing some things that concerned me. I hated to make a choice out of fear but I basically avoided Halloween for the first two years of Orly’s life because I didn’t feel confident or knowledgeable enough to feel peace about celebrating.

As time went on, I asked more questions & dug for answers. I consulted wise faithful friends & mentors to see how they approached Halloween and what they thought about it all. That’s when I began learning about the Catholic roots of Halloween!

Over the past two years, Halloween has become one of our kids favorite holidays (& ours too!) and now we lean in fully. Halloween is a holy day, actually a holy few days! I can’t believe I went my entire life without knowing the beauty of this upcoming feast.

So we’ll be celebrating hard! Cosumes & candy AND Mass, prayers, cemeteries & skeletons. Has anyone else felt confused about how to embrace Halloween as a Christian? Share in the comments & I’ll share more this week too!🙏🏼

More important than a date night:
- Greeting one another with warmth and affection
- Acknowledging one another before jumping into the day when the alarm goes off
- A look of admiration
- A text of appreciation
- Gratitude for the expected tasks
- A compliment when it’s least expected
- A gentle touch on the back when you walk by
- Making them laugh
- A long affectionate hug or kiss
- A back or foot rub
- Asking, “what do you want tonight to look like” after the kids are in bed
- A handwritten note to find
- Turning on the shower so it warms up for them in the cold winter
- Turning on the air conditioning in the car a few minutes before they need to leave in the hot summer
- Asking, “can I get you anything?”
- Sending a flirty text or look across the room
- Sharing one win with one another each day
- Preparing their morning coffee or tea
- Refilling their water when you see it empty
- Dancing in the kitchen

Go on date nights too, yes of course. We all love a good date night. Yet don’t wait for those moments to impact your marriage in a profound and positive way.
