Hi there!  My name is Emily and I am a Regular Joan so to speak, no theology background (or English, for that matter, sorry).  I’m just a Catholic girl passionately pro-life trying to make sense of this world we live in.  St. Joan of Arc was my first patron saint selected at Confirmation, and when encountering life’s trials I remember her saying “Go forward bravely, trust in the Lord, all will be well.” I get paid to be an optometrist, which I love.  I am also a mom to three beautiful girls and a boy with a special heart, which I love more!  To read about our son Gus, whose journey ended in the womb check out Empty Womb: Sad, Empty Tomb: Glad!. .  Hope you enjoy this blog!
