  • Lent 2021, Day 29: This isn’t the Good News.

    Come along, Friends, as we take a trip back to 2005, to a time when “The Office” was brand new, cell phones weren’t smart, and I heard the worst sermon in my life.

  • Lent 2020, Day 24: This is a story about control.

    Me: Got my own mind
    I wanna make my own decisions.

    I wanna be the one in control.

    Corona: Ha.

"... the awesomely gifted Alisha DeFreitas... tells her story of  her brush with the Culture of Death and her refusal to play the world’s game. I love that she gives two well-aimed upraised middle fingers: one to the abortion culture of the Left, and one to the Randian Makers vs. Takers class warriors of the Right. She’s one of my heros."

Mark Shea, author and blogger


"While reading your blog I often sense a certain amount of conviction on your behalf, which makes me wonder why isn’t everyone reading the blogs of a woman who actually “gets it.”

Don, at Minus The Bars

Joe, my brother, author of The Blog of Blogs


"Are you really bored or something?"

Joscelyne, my sister
