Late blooming Catholic who reverted to the faith in 2010. Wife, mom, daughter, sister, writer and worrywart. She was “woke” before it was a thing with her first column, I’m Awake Now. She believes the Left stole her idea, perverting it, as they do, to describe quite the opposite: people who are dead asleep to reality. She and her husband grew up in Missouri, fell in love, and married in 1977. After 21 moves around the country, they made their way back to the Show Me State just in time to settle in before COVID struck. Bristles at being labeled a "traditional Catholic" since one is either Catholic or is not. Likes talking about herself in the third person. You may occasionally find her on Substack as ShowMeCatholics and on Twitter: @MeCatholics
