About Me
Since I know that the A-to-Z blogging
challenge will be bringing a lot of new people over to my neck of the woods, I
wanted to introduce myself quickly. Yes,
I already have an about me page – but I thought ya’ll might want a little more
information and a little more creativity.
In short I am a twenty-something New Englander who loves to read and
write. I love people, but sometimes they
frustrate me more easily than they should.
I am a usually practicing, but lately lapsed, Catholic. I write about life, faith and all that comes
with it here at JourneyLiving, and I also manage L.B.Writes which is all about
writing, marketing, and social media for small busineses and non-profits.
Still want to know more – here is a
quick all about me from A to Z:
A
– Americorps – I spent two years serving as an Americorps VISTA.
B
– Banking – My day job is the banking industry.
C
– Catholic – I am Catholic.
D
–Dunes Beach – The Dunes’ Beach in Westerly, RI is my favorite place.
E
– Exhausted – This is the last letter I am filling in on this list, now I’m
exhausted.
F
– Forty – this is my fortieth blog post at JourneyLiving.
G
– Grocery shopping – It’s kind of weird, but going grocery shopping is my
stress reliever.
H
– Hounds – I am a proud Assumption College alumna. Go Hounds!
I
– Icecream – I love ice cream. It
could be another food group in my mind. My
favorite is anything coffee based. Yum!
J
– Jokes – I am a terrible joke teller, but I still enjoy when other people
tell them (even if they’re super cheesy).
K
– Klutz – I am definitely a bit of a klutz.
L
– Little Princess –Frances Hogsdon Burnett’s A Little Princess was my favorite childhood book
M

I have been to Mexico several times, and fell in love with the people
and the culture. A part of my heart got
left behind in the mountains of Mexico during a college service trip.
N
– New Englander – I am definitely a New Englander through and through, and
it is my strongest “cultural identity.”
O

And stubborn.
P
–Pro-Life – I am pro-life --- anti-abortion, anti-euthanasia, anti-death
penalty.
Q

called “Look It Up Lauren” because I look for the answers to other peoples
questions even before they do!

Easter with a sunrise service on Mt. Rushmore
S
– Social Teaching – I love Catholic Social Teaching.
T

years. My favorite part is experiencing the culture and meeting new
people. I am definitely not a resort
vacationer!
U
