My friends and I sat in the audience of Time Out for Women a few weeks ago, bathed in the goodness those speakers were spreading out. And I had a weird moment of wonder remembering how years ago my mom and I were on that stage spilling out our guts. My mom more than me:…
Logan was awesome. It was chilly and rainy…a welcome change from the still-over-100-degree temperatures here in the desert. And the company, as always, was incredibly inspiring. (Have I mentioned how much I love Time Out for Women?) I didn’t get a picture of the Friday night presenters, darn it, but they were SO good. Then…

I mentioned that our ward church congregation got all split up before the summer. It was a pretty big shift and change for all of us. Our ward was enveloped into three different wards, and then so many people were in and out during the blasted-hot-desert summer that it’s been a little tricky for us…
