Oh Denise - once again you transport my heart and soul through your words. You captured this season of motherhood that I find myself a little adrift in so beautifully and connected it to the Ascension in ways I’ll be pondering for some time. Thank you. Happy Feast!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful insights. I am finding this especially inspiring as one of my daughters will soon enter a convent to begin her new vocation. Your words seem heaven-sent. God bless you!

Yesterday I read in a book called, Genuine Friendship, "A friend is someone who sees (feels) something that I see (feel), and we see it in a way that separates us from those who do not see it. Friendship typically begins when one says to another: "What? You too? I thought I was the only one." Denise, I thought of you when I read those words, and then soon after, found this essay. Your words express what I have felt many times, so beautifully, as always. Thank you, my friend, for saying them, and making this Solemnity so much more special!

Thank you Denise for a wonderful way to express the meaning of the Ascension. As always, your great imagery offers insight and relatability for me.
