Franciscan Focus

Just a simple blog of a Secular Franciscan trying to live life with a Franciscan focus.

About Me

I'm Lisa, a Secular Franciscan living the USA; I made my permanent Profession in May 2006. My husband, Mike, and I are lifelong cat lovers and share our home with some fabulous felines. In my day job (cats must be fed), I work as a software technical writer with Lots Of Cool People.

Some random bits in no particular order: I have a devotion to Joseph, Holy Husband of Our Blessed Lady and Virginal Father of Jesus; make and give away Rosaries; read voraciously; and love eating sushi and napping with the cats. (My motto: "A Nap Makes Everything Better".)

Back in 2002, I dipped my toe into the Web waters when I designed 'n' launched my first personal web site about cats. While I enjoyed that, it was ultimately a bit unsatisfying to limit myself to cat- and animal-related issues. So, after much ponderin', I figured I'd start this site.

So, what'll ya find here? Franciscany things, cats, St. Joseph, book and article reviews, silly things I stumble 'pon ... pretty much whatever enters my noggin'. Y'know, Typical Blog Stuff, with a Franciscan flavor. Hopefully, you won't curse the time ya wasted pokin' around here. :-)

Statement of Fidelity

If you're looking for dissenting or heterodox prattle, you've come to the wrong place. (Buh-bye! Don't let the door hit yer arse on the way out.) I'm a loving and obedient daughter of our Holy Mother Church, as defined by the Magisterium under the Supreme Pontiff.

Dedication

This site is dedicated to
the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
