I am Donella, a devoted wife, mother, and blogger who finds joy in sharing my faith and journey with others. As a homeschooling mom and freelance writer, I am passionate about learning and writing, and I want to extend these loves to my Catholic faith.

I am a proud convert to the Catholic faith and draw inspiration from the teachings of the Church and the writings of the saints to guide my daily life. My blog, Begin Again With Joy, is a reflection of my unwavering belief in the power of faith, hope, and love to transform lives.

Inspired by the words of St. Teresa of Calcutta, I encourage my readers to let go of the past, embrace the present, and trust in God’s providence to lead you towards a brighter future. Whether you’re a fellow Catholic, a homeschooling parent, or simply seeking inspiration to overcome life’s challenges, I want my blog to become a source of wisdom and hope. Join me on this journey of faith and let the joy of Christ’s love guide us forward.
