Sisters of Notre Dame Convent
1300 Auburn Rd.
Chardon, Ohio |
You have NO idea how many times I was compared to Whoppi Goldberg's legendary character of "Sis. Mary Clarence" in Sister Act! Yes, I must admit there are some similarities- a middle-aged black woman, (snarky and cute) who ends up in a convent of spunky nuns by happenstance. What starts out as somewhat of a farce (for her, not me lol), ends up to be one of the most rewarding experience of her/my life! That said, it is with mixed emotions that I announce (for yinz that didn't already know), that I have resigned from my position there and have moved back to Columbus to be with my family. What I intend to share with you today is just a tiny look into the place where I spent the last year of my life, working with some of the most amazing people I've met (since leaving Pittsburgh), making great food, and basking in the glorious love of The Sisters of Notre Dame.(tear)
