screenshot of email that begins " Dear Friends in Christ, What if you could step away from the noise of daily life… and walk, pray, and reflect in places that have shaped our faith for centuries? This November, we invite you to do exactly that. Join the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, guided by Fr. Jim Puglisi, SA, on a pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi—an experience of faith, beauty, and renewal in the spirit of St. Francis. From November 1–10, 2026, you will walk where St. Francis walked, pray where he prayed, and experience the peace and simplicity that transformed his life. In Assisi, you will stand before the Basilica of St. Francis, visit San Damiano where Christ spoke to him, and journey to sacred places like La Verna and Greccio—where faith became real, personal, and alive."

Lake Michigan as seen from the Aon center. The lake is a silvery blue and the sky is grey with darker grey clouds. It’s hard to tell exactly where the lake ends and the sky begins. In the foreground is a bright green small park/plaza and several skyscrapers.

FOLLOWING UP Following up, reaching out, and trying to stand out. CONNECTING Trying to connect with hiring managers (the hardest part!). STAYING COMMITTED Some days are tough, but I keep showing up anyway.
So, for example, I see a lot of cyclists enter the blind spot of a motor vehicle that's preparing to turn across the bike lane, then the cyclist complains that the car "cut them off".
