ADHD'ers: *does 40 hours of work in an 8-hours hyperfocus and urgency fueled bender* Them: This is amazing! You have so much potential. Here's some more work. The very same ADHD'ers: *struggles for 8 hours to get the executive function to do a simple task* Them: God, you're lazy

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

He wore narcissism like it was designer #chic. He relished breaking his victims and did so with flourish. That was until he came across a rock of a girl who his chisel couldn't chip. He worked at cracking her until he was buried in his own rubble. #vssdaily

Those who believe they are upholding the faith by pointing their finger at others may have a certain “religiosity”, but they have not embraced the spirit of the Gospel, for they disregard mercy, which is the heart of God. #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 8:1-11)

Listening to the voices of the brothers and sisters of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, I heard the suffering, hardship, discrimination and various forms of abuse experienced, particularly in the residential schools. I bear these stories with great sorrow in my heart.

I feel shame for the role that a number of Catholics with educational responsibilities have had in the abuse and lack of respect for the identity, culture and spiritual values of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada. All these things are contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As the person who accidentally started the #romancebooks aren't unrealistic Twitter trend, I feel obligated to share that I'm currently hiding Dove chocolates in my purse because I don't want to share them with my husband. True love never dies.

Please don't use being pregnant as an April Fools prank. I should not have to explain why.
