An empty sheet

It’s a new year, a new decade, and although technically it means very little, I feel excited; a bit like when I was young and liked drawing a lot. I would sharpened my pencil, shut the door to my room, get a new sheet of paper out, and look out my window; the feeling that came over me was always one of enthusiasm and anticipation, a knowledge of all things possible.

I know we have an exciting year ahead of us. I don’t know where we’ll end up or how – things may not even work out the way we want them to – but I know that we’ll get through whatever we are faced with as a family, and that it will be an adventure. Bring it on, 2010!

Lovely Lady of La Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayer. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with His will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father. This I ask, O Lady of La Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
