Happy September! Here's something free for you!

It's no secret I connect to my faith through creativity! I love learning about different Saints, Marian Titles, or devotions, and then creating something to match. This month, I've created images for seven of the September Titles of Mary and they're here for you to download.

Our Lady of the Woods - September 5th

In 1621, an orphaned shepherd boy named Santi Bevilacqua was sent by his uncle to tend to the sheep when he wandered into the brambles and found a half-buried stone wall. Clearing the brambles, he uncovered a small painted tile of the Madonna. He knelt, said a prayer, and came back the next day with flowers. Soon other children were following him out to sing and pray near "the Madonna in the woods" — until an accidental brush fire got them all banned from the area.

Some time later, Santi was napping in his uncle's carpentry shop when a stack of lumber toppled onto him. He cried out to Our Lady of the Woods, and was unharmed. That was enough for his uncle to go looking for the wall Santi had described. He found it: the remnant of a church, long abandoned over a land dispute, its tile painted by a monk from Grottaferrata. He set about rebuilding.
The little chapel grew into a full shrine with a home for priests. Santi served Mass there for the rest of his life. By 1633, pilgrims came in such numbers that a new church had to be built nearby, requiring the delicate, prayerful work of moving the tile itself without damage.
Plague and cholera passed over Galloro when people prayed there. The miracles held, the devotion held, and Our Lady of the Woods remains a pilgrimage site to this day.

Flash Sale Today and Tomorrow Only! 9/1 and 9/2 Our Lady of Olives Earrings

Today, September 1st, we honor Our Lady of Olives. Devotion to Our Lady of Olives began in 1493, when lightning struck a church in Murat, France.
Though the building was destroyed, a wooden statue of the Blessed Mother miraculously remained unharmed. Since then, Mary under this title has been honored as a sure source of protection, peace, and comfort, especially against storms and in times of childbirth.
Our Lady of Olives, pray for us!
And for a fun way to honor Our Lady of Olives tonight, try out this Lemon and Olive Oil Cake!

No doubt you've noticed a huge increase in businesses using AI graphics and flyers. It seems to be a big point of contention in online debates. Even Pope Leo has weighed in on it!
"Innovation can represent human participation in the divine act of creation...every design choice reflects a vision of humanity." Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas
Learning the tools yourself, instead of skipping straight to a prompt, is one way to keep that human vision at the center. I see this topic discussed (and argued over!) often in social media threads. Instead of adding to the debate, I've decided to offer one of the things I do best in my "real world job": training others to use technology and design tools. So I'm reviving my freelance biz. If you own a business or know someone looking for training in systems like Canva, Adobe, etc., you can learn more about what I offer here...

Early Risers and New Projects

Life lately has been the typical start of the school year whirlwind!
Andrew is in 9th grade this year, at a wonderful school - we are all so excited about what this next chapter will bring for him. It's not even a chore to get him up in the morning!
Philomena had her first day back at the parish preschool program yesterday, after counting down the days all summer! Andrew has been avoiding the paparazzi, but Mena allowed for millions of photos.

These last few weeks nave been so exciting and eventful. I'm glad to be back in the regular swing of things and the start-over feeling we get each fall. And with this new season come some new opportunities and projects! Stay tuned to hear about some upcoming work with Into the Deep, Catholics Online, and Kindred Catholic.

Our Lady of Czestochowa - August 26th

There are more than a few incredible things about the image of Our Lady of Czestochowa, patroness of Poland.
An image added to the post.
First, tradition tells that the image itself was created by St. Luke the Evangelist upon a cypress board that the Holy Family used as a tabletop. It was taken to Constantinople in 328 A.D. and stayed there for over 1000 years.
Then, in 1382, Tartars stormed the palace, and a stray arrow struck the Madonna's throat - a wound you can still see on the icon today. Under the care of Prince Ladislas, it was to be taken into the town of Opala for safekeeping. However, when the prince passed through Częstochowa, his horses refused to move! So instead, the icon was placed in a monastery there, where it remains.
In 1430, Mary’s face was struck with a sword during an invasion at the monastery. Again, damage from both attacks can still be seen on the image, which is why most depictions of Our Lady of Częstochowa feature scars.
In 1655, when Poland was under threat of invasion by Sweden, the people prayed to Mary and credited her intercession for their safety. Our Lady of Częstochowa was crowned Queen of Poland, and devotion to Mary under this title has continued to grow!

The Moonflower Collection RETURNS!

New around here?
As a child, I loved watching moonflowers blossom at twilight - they'd be closed by morning, but magic in between. Mary has long been likened to the moon: she has no light of her own, only what she reflects from her Son.
Each Moonflower Collection works the same way. Treasures that bloom once a month at special prices, often limited edition. When they fade, they don't come back.
We skipped July for summer travel, but my Moonflowers are back, just in time to celebrate The Assumption with something special...and they're all on sale!
