Sister Julia Walsh shared the following in her Aug. 12 blog: Spiritual flexibility in times of abundance and VUCA
"Over a week ago I celebrated a milestone: my 40th birthday. In the days since, my life has been a whirlwind of joy, labor, celebrations and commotion. I drove hundreds of miles, celebrated my younger biological sister's 35th birthday, celebrated my Franciscan Sister Meg's first profession of vows and her birthday, helped empty a house of furniture, loaded a truck, drove a truck to Chicago, unloaded the truck and rearranged a house.
In the midst of all that activity, I hosted some women who were discerning their vocation at our motherhouse in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and did all the typical things: attended mass, said prayers, wrote emails, took care of office tasks and tended to self-care. (If after reading this litany you still are thinking that life as a Franciscan Sister must be boring, I don’t know how to convince you otherwise.)"
