I am a dreamer. Always have been. The other day as I thought of my to-do list and my bucket list I realized they will always remain on my list unless I actually do them. And if I continue to wait for an available moment, they will always remain dreams. Continue reading

General Conference thoughts: the testimonies of two new Apostles
Two new apostles were called to fill in the vacancies of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles during the Saturday afternoon session. Each one was permitted to share a brief testimony during Sunday afternoon’s session.
Elder Gong focused his testimony on the message of Easter Sunday and the hope of the Atonement of Christ.
Elder Soares pointed us toward listening to our prophet because “he knows the way.”

I told you the day was no good
I have mentioned a time or two or seven that I don’t like Labor Day. It has earned the distinction as being my second worst day of the year. The day is just a melancholy filled day for me. Continue reading

This is not a realistic hope and it won’t help anyone I’m praying for. Continue reading
In the defense of to-do lists
Why is there so much loathing and hatred for to-do lists? Characters in movies and books are mocked for making lists and many a hero’s journey involves getting rid of her (it’s usually a her) to-do list. Once the character learns to live life without the heinous list she (again, usually a female) really learns to live. For a to-do list has been the culprit holding her back in life and making life unenjoyable. Really? Continue reading

I have found, for me anyway, that the best way to learn kindness and mercy is to accept both when offered. Continue reading
General Conference thoughts: Small and Simple Things
by President Dallin H. Oaks
Everything we need to know we learned in primary. The primary or standard answers are always the answer because they truly are the answer. Scripture study. Prayer. Church. Temple. These are the things we need to make time for because these small acts done daily, weekly for church attendance, or as often as possible for temple attendance is what will determine our grasp on the iron rod and the pathway to the Tree of Life.
