Welcome to my blog!

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

My name is Maria, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I am a Catholic woman, a daughter, a sister, a #CoolAunt, and a friend. I am also a pro-life public speaker–you can read more about that here.

In this space, I hope to share my reflections on social issues, such as the abortion debate, disability rights advocacy, and other matters of human dignity and flourishing.

I have lived with chronic pain for about 7 years. Developing chronic pain in your early twenties is not the future anyone prepares for, and the challenges of my disability have sometimes been extreme. I am fortunate to have a web of family and friends who have supported me in the most intense trials. I hope that by writing about my experience with chronic pain and with the medical system, I can process some of those experiences for myself, and help other people in similar situations to feel less isolated and more empowered.

Besides social advocacy, I am also deeply passionate about literature, philosophy, and theology. I am always looking for ways to dive deeper into these subjects and grapple with their complexities. I want to pursue the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.
