And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" St. Mother Teresa (1997)

Hello, sweet friend. Welcome back to another episode of Finding Her Happiness.  The above quote, believe it or not was spoken over 27 years ago.  To be exact, it was February1997 at the National Prayer breakfast in Washington DC which was attended by the then president and first lady.  
Why am I reading it?  Well, I'm reading it because it ties into what I'm going to be talking to you about today, abortion through the lens of a childless woman (not by choice).  I know you may be thinking, "Oh gosh, Mary, that's such such a yucky heavy conversation!  Why are you talking about it?" I'm talking about it because I not only feel led to talk about it, I must talk about it.

Here's how to "A,B,C" your way to getting uncomfortable:

a. Ask for help
b. Be still and silent 
c. Care for a person you have struggled with such as a parent, spouse, friend, other
d. Do something you
e. Eat food you never eaten before (ethnic)
f.  Find a new hobby that seems too different from you
g. Go to a restaurant and eat alone with no phone, book or other distraction
h. Help a stranger (be safe of course)
i.   Invite a coworker or other acquaintance to lunch
j.  Join an organization that feels out of our league because of your SES, race, sex, other
k. Knock on the door of an opportunity that feels scary (leadership role, entrepreneurial opportunity
l.  Look at your current situation through different lens with healthier filters
m. Move to a new house, city, state, or country
n.   New skill
o.   Open yourself up to a new relationship, maybe a guy who isn’t your type or friendship outside of your race
p.   Propose a new idea or an old idea to your boss, friends, husband, family
q.  Quit saying yes to everyone and everything; start saying no and establishing healthy boundaries 
 r.  Read a book that challenges your intellect or time (large book); also ride in your car in silence
s.  Stand in line without your phone or other distractions (pretend like it’s the 80’s again)
 t.  Talk to a stranger (maybe while you wait in line)
u.   Unplug from all electronics for a day or longer
v.    Visit a place (business, museum, etc.) in your town that you’ve never been before or it’s been a long time 
 w.  Wear your vacation attire on an average day (dress, shirt, pants, hat)
 x.   Exercise in a facility that is foreign such as yoga studio or cross fit gym
y.    Yell and scream when frustrated and need a release (into your pillow, shower, car, nature)
z.    Zeal – show some zeal for Jesus especially when it’s most uncomfortable]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/59007707Tue, 12 Mar 2024 07:00:02 +0000Mary Arcement Alexander"When you go out of your way to experience new things, or when you let new things happen to you, your body creates brand new neural pathways that fuel your creative spark and enhance your memory.In one study, researchers tested the memory of..."When you go out of your way to experience new things, or when you let new things happen to you, your body creates brand new neural pathways that fuel your creative spark and enhance your memory.In one study, researchers tested the memory of participants by showing them images which were rated as novel, familiar, and very familiar.

Why is it important to quiet your heart? Besides the importance of being able to hear God speak to you, I also believe it is important to quiet your heart so your mind can rest. The more you practice this skill of quieting your heart the more peace and calmness you will have in your life which in turn make it possible for you to deal with the next thing or phase of your life.

In thinking on topics the season of Advent, which is now upon us, came to mind.

When you hear the words “preparing your hearts,” what comes to mind? Is it, prepare my heart for what? Or I don’t know how to prepare my heart?

Joseph Langford’s book, Mother Teresa’s Secret Fire, is one of my favorite books. If you have not yet, do yourself a favor and read it soon! St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta was an incredible person who is loved by millions of people around the world. She is loved by Catholics, Protestants, Buddist, agnostist, Jews, and dare I say, even a few atheist. She is simply a beautiful soul who said yes to God over and over again, yes to a life of poverty for herself, yes to helping those others deemed unworthy, untouchable, unlovable. St. Mother Teresa suffered along side those dealing with the most unbelievable, most unimaginable life of suffering. If you sweet sister find yourself in a place of suffering, today’s conversation is for you. Welcome to ep. 30, remaining faithful while suffering.

Hey friend! Today's conversation is one I feel will definitely resonate with you. There is a wonderful book called Mother Teresa's Secret Fire that speaks about her personal struggles with God, with her beliefs, as well as with her faith. When I first read about the darkness she felt for many years, all while remaining faithful through it all, I can recall thinking to myself, “If Mother Teresa has that kind of darkness, and she is MOTHER TERESA, who am I to think that I won’t? That I shouldn’t? Afterall, she is the actual saint, where I am a mere human woman. It put things into perspective for me. I have a feeling you too have had moments like these where you wonder why you are struggling or why do you feel sad or why you are feeling an overall unhappiness in life when you are faithful to God.

Sister, being a Christian, being a faithful follower of Christ, being a faithful servant to our Catholic faith is not an easy thing to do, but hear me when I say, there is nothing, absolutely nothing this world has to offer that comes even semi-close to the eternal rewards in heaven we will gain as a result of our faithfulness and our walk with Christ. This is the meat of today’s conversation, remaining faithful to both our Lord as well as our Catholic faith despite our struggle to find happiness.

Hey friend! Today's conversation is one I feel will definitely resonate with you. There is a wonderful book called Mother Teresa's Secret Fire that speaks about her personal struggles with God, with her beliefs, as well as with her faith. When I first read about the darkness she felt for many years, all while remaining faithful through it all, I can recall thinking to myself, “If Mother Teresa has that kind of darkness, and she is MOTHER TERESA, who am I to think that I won’t? That I shouldn’t? Afterall, she is the actual saint, where I am a mere human woman. It put things into perspective for me. I have a feeling you too have had moments like these where you wonder why you are struggling or why do you feel sad or why you are feeling an overall unhappiness in life when you are faithful to God.

One of the greatest movies of all times! That and sixteen candles of course. I can literally quote both movies verbatim. The 80’s was such a great decade but I am digressing. Although I could spend an entire episode discussing all of my favorite movies from the 1980’s, I actually chose this quote because of today’s conversation on marriage and happiness. As I was mapping out this topic I knew I wanted to begin with a great quote about marriage and although this is technically not a direct quote about marriage, I thought it was still fitting. My goal for today is to dive deeper into the good, the bad and the ugly parts of being married. Without further ado, welcome friend! We are rolling right into episode number 15!

With that said, I don’t actually think marriage is bad, rather I think a lot of marriages are unhealthy. I use that term bad because honestly the phrase "the good, the bad, and the ugly," sounds way better than "the healthy, the unhealthy and the not so pretty." To make this conversation more digestible, I will take each one of the above aspects of marriage and break them up into three main points. Thanks for listening in sister to learn more about how you can find happiness in your marriage.

I have decided that I want to periodically showcase a particular female saint. I want to do so both as a way to learn more about these amazing women as well as to give examples of strong Catholic women who once were sinners and now, through the grace and mercy of God, are saints. My hope is to give you, a sinner, hope while showing you that it is indeed possible for someone like you, someone like me to become a saint.

I will share with you what I feel are eight different insecurities that hinder our abilities to make friends later in life. I will also give you two steps to begin the process of working through said insecurities. Keep in mind that it does take more than two steps, but for the sake of this conversation I want to keep it as simple and tangible as I can. If I give you too much information you will more than likely feel overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. I’d rather you do two steps than no steps. Lastly, I will share one way you can both make and keep new friendships beginning today.

Welcome sister! Today's conversation is not so much about our Catholic faith but you do need faith to do what I am asking. Here is my question for you, are you willing to ask your husband to take out the trash or whatever task you need done knowing that he will do so or are you going to simmer and stew because you shouln't have to ask him? If you answered no to the first questions and yes to the second one, listen up! This is a topic of conversation I have with almost every wife I counsel and as a wife myself, I 100% agree but here is the thing, the problem does not lie in the fact that you are asking him rather his response. His response says it all.

Welcome to EPISODE 10!!! I am officially in the double digits! Now onto the three digits (Yes, I am dreaming BIG!) In today’s episode I will be breaking down how you can begin your journey of figuring out who you are into small tangible steps. The goal is not to figure it all out in a one and done kind of way. Instead, this is a journey of exploration, of asking questions, seeking answers, having a willingness to get uncomfortable and allowing God to guide throughout. Make sure you download this episode so you can listen while you head out today. It’s a good one!

This one scripture can send many of women into a tail spin! Before you decide this episode is not for you, please keep reading. I am speaking on the topic of wives submitting to their husbands not only because I believe it is an important one, but also because I want to be clear about what being submissive and is not.

In this episode, I will be discussing my thoughts on two types of submissive wives and how although they are very similar, they have one BIG difference. God calls us as wives to submit to our husbands, He does not call us to be slaves. They are not the same thing. God calls husbands to love their wives as Christ's loves the church. That my friend, is a much taller order. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Have you ever felt like Margaret? Even though she is a fictional character, I believe as Christian women we know all too well those moments when God feels distant. Those moments when we wonder, "Are you there God?" Sometimes when we pray the silence is deafening and it is in these moments that the enemy speaks loudly to us. He tells you that yes, God has forgotten about you. He tells you, yes you are a nobody. He tells you, yes the world would be better off without you in it. He tells you lie after lie after lie because he is the Prince of Lies.

Sister, if you are currently struggling with this feeling of God not being there or if you have struggled multiple times in your life with this feeling, then I know this episode will help you greatly! I am breaking down several things that can get in the way of your relationship with God as well as how they do. I am giving you several scriptures that will inspire you. Lastly, I am leaving you with three things you can begin doing today to instantly feel closer to God.

Welcome to episode #7, my very first interview. I am so excited about this episode because number one, I love Kathleen, and number two, having others on my podcast is such a nice addition. I met Kathleen back in February of this year when she presented as the main speaker at my church's annual women's conference, Devoted. I loved her speaking style, sense of humor and overall personality. As I was preparing for my first interview, I initially had no idea who to ask until one day the Lord said, "What about Kathleen Higgins?" I agreed, reached out to her, and as they say, the rest is history.

In today's conversation, we discuss Kathleen's faith journey as a cradle Catholic, her waiting journey for her husband, her current work in the diocese of Baton Rouge, La., her thoughts on being Catholic and more! It was such a fun conversation. I literally could have done a 4 hour episode but I am not Joe Rogan, so you only get one hour. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed asking the questions.

I remember vividly the day, in my mid 30's, when my then pastor, Fr. Karl said these words to me, "Mary, God may be calling you to the single life and it's okay if He is." Although I did not say this to Fr. Karl for fear of sounding disrespectful, but I sure did think, "That is a terrible thing to say to a young woman who is yearning for a husband and child!"
