Hi! My name is Fabiola and I draw for a living. My fun-tastic website is http://www.CatholicColors.com.
After almost a year of ballet I’m still super horrible. I never realized how physically demanding it was, how literally every muscle in your body has to be in control and your mind has to juggle a litany of steps. I didn’t know progress would be so slow and I didn’t know I have bad [...]
As some of you know St. Therese’s Feast day is today. St. Therese, known as the Little Flower was known for a simple life lived with great love and her promise to “spend heaven doing good on earth” and “let fall a shower of roses”. I’ve always had an interesting relationship with her and her [...]
I had the privilege of seeing George Weigel, Pope John Paul II’s personal biographer not long after the Polish Pope was beatified. I’ve spent the last couple weeks reading Weigl’s Witness to Hope which documents the Pontiff’s life and it’s been crazy. Crazy in a good way. It’s packed with history, theology, philosophy, letters and [...]
So I survived my third portfolio review with Disney recruiters. I just came back from a mad dash to New York to show my portfolio… again. I had a lot of people praying for me, including St. Joseph who is the saint in heaven I recruited to pray for me during unemployment. Anytime there is [...]
When I was little I’d wear tutus around the house and pretend I was a famous Prima Ballerina twirling in grace and splendor. I thought that maybe one day I would just wake up and I’d be graceful and splendid if I just wished hard enough. At some point I decided that perhaps I should [...]
I drew this illustration for a friend who gave a talk on Mary. Enjoy! ~ Fabiola draws and writes @ Catholic Colors
My friend Ellie and I pray a novena once in a while and it has always been a very fruitful time for the both of us. For nine days we call each other up, pray and talk out our highs and lows of the day. Sometimes we might skip days if we are busy or [...]
The words religion and religious might as well be curse words; heavy, black and tarred by modernity, non-believers and Christians alike. By claiming to be religious a person might as well have the following words tattooed on their forehead: old-fashioned, stodgy, I heart rules. Rarely do you hear anybody say heartily and with confidence, “Yes! [...]
On Being a (Spiritual) Friend When continents separate you, when language separates you, when time separates you, when pain separates you from those that you’ve loved and called friend the true spirit of friendship does not need to cease. Being in close personal contact, sharing the hopes, dreams and fears of your life are a [...]
Let me remember the waters that cleaned me, the fire that marked me and your beautiful love that so tirelessly sought me.
Dear Miss. Fabi, My aunt asks me every Thanksgiving if I finally have boyfriend. I feel peeved, dismayed, bereft. What should I do? Sincerely, Single Sally* I’m sure you love your aunt. I love my aunts. I love my aunts, girlfriends and even the silly people on tv commercials who arc their eyebrows to enquire [...]
Q. How do you pronounce “ignitum”? A. Well, you have some options. The Romans would have said ig-NEE-toom. In church, we’d say “in-YEE-toom.”
Why?
