What Is Missing in My Life Right Now?
Posted on May 25, 2023 Leave a Comment
By Stacy LaMorte We do all sorts of things in our lives to fill voids, which is only human. However, it is important for us and for us to teach our kids how to build awareness around what we are actually seeking when we do the things to fill the void. Most times, what we […]

By Stacy LaMorte I have a confession to make: my Holy Week this year was not so holy. As our children have grown, they have begun to participate in spring break with their friends (and chaperones, of course). This year was the third year in a row that I have been a part of all […]

By Stacy LaMorte I have recently embarked on a new journey: coaching. I have been a fitness coach and for decades, but life coaching is very different. As a personal trainer/fitness coach, it is my job to be the “expert,” helping my clients reach their health, fitness and wellness goals. Even when I worked as […]

By Stacy LaMorte You have likely heard people say that, as parents, we have to be sure to take care of our health so that we can be the best version of ourselves. Our spiritual health is no different. On a plane, the flight attendant explains that in case of loss of cabin pressure, adults […]

By Stacy LaMorte The Lord is always calling on us to be present with him, asking us to recognize his dwelling in each one of us and in others. When we make time to be fully present with our spouses, children, family members and friends, we are actually making time to be present with him. […]

By Stacy LaMorte Do you know the best gift you can give your kids that spans every age group, gender and budget? The gift of failure. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” I do not claim to […]

By Stacy LaMorte Jesus was so insightful and knew his flock so well. He knew that we learn better from stories than from mere transmission of facts. When you think about the things you have heard that have really impacted your life, I would venture to say that you remember the facts because of the […]

By Stacy LaMorte If you are blessed to get to volunteer at your child’s school in any capacity, did you know that you must go through Safe Environment training through the Archdiocese of New Orleans? It’s a requirement for all adult volunteers, with a renewal every three years.

By Stacy LaMorte Have you ever attended a Catholic Mass in another language? If not, I highly recommend it! My family and I did yesterday – on accident. Our daughter wanted to say goodbye to a priest who was the pastor at her school, as he had been transferred. We had the option to say […]

By Stacy LaMorte Summer can be such a wonderful time for a family to recharge and refresh. It is also a time of preparation for all kinds of change. Some of us have children going off to school for the first time. Some of us have our youngest child going off to school, leaving us […]
Kinesthetic Learners

By Stacy LaMorte As a former teacher, I know that most kids love to move (even when you don’t want them to be moving!) I used to try to implement movement into a lot of our learning, because it is difficult for kids to sit still all the time. However, I quickly realized that, not […]
