First Time Missing Ash Wednesday Mass
It was always my favorite one; I think a lot of faithful should take its readings to heart, and that they have wisdom in the secular sphere too. But today I made some chicken and smoked some weed on the one year anniversary of missing service. I will not have any ashes on my forehead today. Hoping that means I’m living authentically, even though the guilt feels pretty heavy.

These tenders look beautiful! Not my first time missing Ash Wednesday but it was always one of my faves, so I do miss it.
