Hi, I'm Aimee—wife, mom, writer, artist, speaker, and seeker of truth, beauty, and goodness. I've authored some award-winning books about Theology of the Body, the sacraments, social justice, Scripture study, and Baptism preparation, as well as Reconciliation and Mass companions for children. I've contributed dozens of articles, reflections, and other content to various Catholic outlets and apps. I've collaborated with several of the "big names" in Catholic circles, and I've even won some Telly Awards and been nominated for an (obscure) Emmy! I'm also a teacher, a frequent speaker, and pilgrimage leader. It's challenging and fulfilling work, and I pray it helps others to know God and themselves.
​
Yet there is something beyond: ever since I could hold a pen, I have yearned to share and connect through writing. I have boxes of tattered notebooks and journals overflowing with stories, poems, questions, insights, and longings stretching from childhood onward. When I write, I discover what I believe. When I write, I feel most whole and most honest. When I write, I feel quite often like... I'm praying.
​
Thy Ship is a home for the wide and scattered writing that I want to share. You'll find everything from deep thoughts about God and faith to poems to travel tips to product recommendations to beautiful things that captured me to lots of lists (oh how I love lists!).
​
My favorite subject of all: reaching for the Creator in creation and seeking the sacred every day. Beauty—that in the beginning made the world—in the end saves the world. I'm so grateful you're here.
