The Come Follow Me devotional a couple weeks ago really got me thinking. It was given by Tiffany Tomsik and I loved it because she talked about our constant state of absorbing and emanating light. You know in the covid days when you would walk through those areas in airports, etc. that could track, just…
My “one word” for 2021 came so quickly and easily this year, and it has still taken me until March to write about it. But better late than never, right? I opened up my scriptures for our new study of the Doctrine & Covenants back in January, and the first word, written all in caps,…
My friend Vanessa (yes, the one who started Chatbooks…she’s pretty awesome!) asked me to talk with her on her #momforce podcast about the “one word” dealio I do each year. She figured it would be a good way for moms to start into their pondering about the big 2020 right around the corner. Not the…
We weren’t quite ready to instigate our new “school year theme” at the beginning of the school year. We chose “self-discipline” last year and, well, we didn’t quite feel like we had that concept under our belts very well yet by the time the new school year rolled around.

Today, on the eve of Thanksgiving, there is a lot of commotion running around in my head. I woke up in the dark of the early morning with my heart rushing. How do I carve out enough from the “to-dos” swirling around in there to express all the gratitude in it? And then I remembered…
Let’s talk about modern-day pioneering and faith in the unknown. Because there have been three big things that have put it on my mind lately, especially with the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL being today.
