Remember our visit to Avila? Teresa of Avila was baptized in the church directly opposite Ricardo's antique store where you bought your leather bag.
Teresa of Avila's feast day --- celebrated on the day of a saint's death which Catholics consider a person's birthday-into-heaven --- is October 15th.

I think Teresa's keenest insight is that: "There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers."
Teresa, who was "chubby," was once asked how she could represent herself as a good Catholic when she clearly overindulged. She replied: "When I pray I pray. When I partridge, I partridge."
The message? "Stay centered. Stay focused."
Teresa of Avila
