To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
From Hawaii: “We have been talking a lot in church about learning to live by faith and not fear. I am reminded of a tender mercy given to me from the Lord to assist me in learning this principle in my everyday life: I have been in the airline industry for almost nine years now. When […]
I heard someone ask this question: What has the Church done for women? I might rephrase that question, and ask, what have you, as a woman, done for the Church? Years ago, Belle Spafford asked this same question to Pres. George A. Smith; only she was asking what the National Council of Women […]
April 2010, at the BYU Women’s Conference, Julie B. Beck challenged us to read the Book of Mormon with a special intent. “I have a little exercise for those of you who want something specific to do in your scripture study. Get a new little copy of the Book of Mormon. In the front of […]
I found a great article with loads of good strategies for Relief Society presidents. Four women, on a panel, shared some of their experiences while serving. I happily share some of their great thoughts and suggestions. Maureen Ursenbach Beecher is one of our Mormon Women historians. She knew a lot about our early sisters, and […]
Maybe some of you are already reading Pres. Monson’s biography. I’m crossing my fingers for Christmas. I had the opportunity to hear Sis. Swinton share some stories and lessons she learned during this incredible journey she has been blessed to take.

The General Relief Society Presidency seems very focused on what they are telling us. After rereading their talks, I would like to point out some things that struck me as important. Whatever any of us get out of it, it’s clear that we are being asked to make a clear choice and stand up against […]
School is starting up. It’s always an exciting time of year with new clothes, new schools and classes, and new friends. It’s also a break for mom. Come on, admit it! You can actually have a couple of hours to do something you want to do, finally. But, then come the after school activities and […]
Have you ever been visit taught and the companionship begins a game of “I have it worse” in front of you, leaving you out completely? Maybe you’ve visited someone only to have them list, and repeat, their ailments until you have to boldly look at your watch and excuse yourself. Such are the joys of Visiting […]
I’m going to depart from my normal post format and talk about life—my (new) viewpoint of life, that is. Okay, I admit, this is another pep talk to myself, made public this time. I just saw Julie & Julia and I have some serious deep thoughts about it. Now what in the world does this […]
