To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Thanksgiving isn’t the only time to be thankful, but this yearly reminder sure helps those of us who suffer from gratitude amnesia. I’d like to thank everyone for hanging in here with me. I’m thankful for all the things I’ve learned as I’ve researched our Relief Society’s history. I’ve thrown in some personal thoughts and […]
I don’t know about you, but listening to Conference addresses is a wonderful experience and blessing in my life. The words from our prophets are truly inspiring, thought provoking, and life changing, but only if we let them be. I can’t ever pick a favorite talk. When I get my Ensign, I read each of […]
In our busy lifestyles, especially during the holidays, we tend to be a little more impatient with the children, or hurry our precious time with them. Sometimes the hardest thing of all is to spend a simple meal together. I found this interesting little article and offer it as a gentle reminder. “Not with reproof […]
Advent calendars used to be all the rage. They were forgotten for a while, but they are now making a comeback. Maybe this year, instead of focusing on getting the right number of gifts for family members, you might elect to focus on advent activities all month long. There are so many creative people out in […]
Weather is not the reason why we wear clothing. It’s a good reason, but there is a better reason. We wear clothes to cover the body and not suggest alternate activities that can be done with the body (if you get my drift). By looking around, we can judge pretty quickly everyone by their clothing.

I already wrote once about Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk given in the General Women’s Meeting, but I feel to address it a second time. He talked about achieving happiness and he used two ways to get there: Creating and being Compassionate. I would like to dissect the “Creating” part of his talk. First of all he […]
When the Relief Society was reorganized in Salt Lake City, women needed a place to meet. Since there were, at first, so few of them, it was easy to gather together in each other’s homes. As the Society grew though, it was clear larger quarters would be necessary. Chapels, at that time, did not have […]
Do you remember the movie While You Were Sleeping? (Great movie!) It’s about a girl without a family, who adopts a family during the holidays, and ends up falling in love with one of the sons (the poor one, not the rich one). There is a scene where she is with the family while they […]
The Book of Helaman, in the Book of Mormon, is all about the human spirit waxing cold. Hardened hearts exposing one another, mankind breaking one another down, rampant domestic disputes. Kind of like our day. The Nephites, at this particular time, had a “heart condition.” When was the last time you had a check up […]
We live in a culture where we don’t have to go far to be entertained. Noise is everywhere. Everyone is busy. We are always going, going, going; off to our next bit of entertainment. We don’t have time to sit quietly. And if we did, we would be bored silly. Our minds have adapted well […]
