Happiness Tips for When You’re Blue

by Kathleen Glavich, SND on April 15, 2015

On the news this week it was reported that 11% of Americans were on anti-depressants. That’s sad!

My First Novel!

The Fisherman's Wife is the story of St. Peter's spouse, the long-suffering but delightful woman who puts up with Peter and his obsession with the itinerant preacher named Jesus. Through her we meet Peter, Jesus, and other biblical characters. In Capernaum she witnesses Jesus' healings and hears his words.The book is based on the Gospels, legends, and what is known about first-century Jewish women. The rest is sheer imagination.

Adam, who was playing the teacher, came up to her and asked, "And just how many years have you been kept back?" (from "Why Is Jesus in the Microwave?")
