“If you spend time regretting, you are not living in the present and you're allowng the past to take over."

A gifted storyteller weaves in humor, memorable characters and a life lesson. A good story can teach us how to find wisdom and humor in the past, but remind us to live in the present. In this episode we meet Sister Angela McCarthy, CSJP. Angela is, herself, a memorable character and her stories begin with confusion while sailing on the Queen Mary when mischief sent her veil overboard and they end with the lesson of love.
