I had always wanted to be Catholic but when you're raised and trained to believe "All Catholics go to hell. Go straight to hell--do not pass Go, do not collect $200" it was a big step.

I put off following my heart (not romantically, more important decision) for 30 years. Now I finally did, and have discovered a peace of mind I only dreamed about, all I can see is the wasted years.
