Everything’s Coming Up Rosie

Refreshingly, Rosie speaks her mind and has precious little “tolerance.” You will find that her practical advice will help you cultivate virtue in your life. You will learn to “nevva [never] get too big for those britches” and to “awfa [offer] it up” and put things “at the foot of the Crawse [Cross].” You’ll come to see how your sacrifices help others in ways you may not have considered. And through Rosie’s life and example, you’ll come to appreciate the value of your sufferings, big or small, and how they benefit you and your loved ones. You will also learn:

• How “go ride your bike!” relates to health (and it’s not what you think).
• Ways to always see the glass as half full
• A bit of wisdom that Tomeo learned from both her mother and the Rolling Stones
• How round-trip guilt trips can be a good thing
• Why you should listen to your mother and “keep smiling”

Tomeo’s memories provide rollicking humor and Catholic wisdom from the quintessential Italian mother. She also provides spiritual resources for self-reflection from the Catechism, Scripture, and the saints to help you grow in grace-filled living. Best of all, you will see the miracles of God’s love in Tomeo’s family and the maternal intercession of Our Lady in their lives. In the words of Rosie, “Rememba, the Blessed Mutha is watching you!”
