  1. Can I just say that the video (which I saw a few days ago) and now your post has really touched something on my heart and keeps bringing me to tears? I always felt discouragement from identifying as an artist growing up, at least in any real way, to the point I almost felt like it was sinful to entertain such a thought. I’m slowly working my way out of this, and all that you’ve shared here and in the video is helping me consider this aspect of myself once again. Especially when you touch on its conjunction with motherhood — two things I thought impossibly incompatible — but, truly, is one of the best places to be artistic. Thank you for sharing your heart about this, Carolyn. <3

  2. Girl. I cannot wait to see this. Your JPII story made me weep, as one does when he comes up. I love how he rescued so many of us.

    (Anecdotal vv Catholic story from an Italian exorcist who is reported to have asked a demon during an exorcism “why is the name of John Paul II so powerful? (he is an ass-kicking saint to call upon during the Rite) Why do you fear him? And the demon responded “Because he stole so many little ones from us!”)
