About

Kara “Sky” McGinty:
I’m just another traveler on this journey of life.  God has made me all that I am and blessed me with a loving husband, an excellent family, a good job, and much more than I deserve.

I’ve grown up with my nose in books and words in my head, which eventually led me to a degree in Communications and Philosophy.  I adore reading and enjoy writing and I am still trying to figure out how to live out those passions.

My other passions are changing the world for the better and living an intentional, sustainable lifestyle (monasticism, green/organic living, fair trade, nutrition and fitness).

Sky Writings:
This web journal, blog, or what-have-you is an outlet for my thoughts about writing and life.  As I am currently fleshing out ideas for stories (specifically children’s stories) this space will be used for quotes, inspiration, guidance, and anything else that comes to mind.

And it’s possible that I will skip back to a philosophical post once in a great while while, just a fair warning.

Thanks for reading, hope to hear from you!

A Franciscan Benediction

May God bless you with discomfort, at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger, at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears, to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.

Amen.
