To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I don’t usually watch Oprah, but I caught the show, a while back, with Goldie Hawn. The show was about finding happiness, so it caught my eye. The Hawn Foundation is an organization to help children, our future, find happiness in this very difficult world we live in. They listed several things that will bring […]
Our Visiting Teaching message, this month, is on the Purpose of Relief Society. As I have studied all of the presidents of our organization, in this dispensation, I have been struck with how much they accomplished in the areas they were specifically designed to manage. Eliza, with her ability to teach gospel truths with poetic […]
The Young Women’s organization began as the Cooperative Retrenchment Association in November 1869. President Brigham Young organized the society in the Lion House, his official residence in Salt Lake City, with his daughters as charter members. He challenged them to grow spiritually, to resist idleness and gossip, to retrench from the styles of the world […]
We’ve had a little time to digest the new Handbook. All of us can look at it, because it’s online at www.lds.org. I think it’s significant that it’s available to all of us. We are all expected to be active members of this Church. Understanding “The Church Plan” allows all of us to get involved […]

March is the birthday month of our organization. I hope everyone is considering reviewing a part of our Relief Society history as your celebration. Mormon Times is publishing an article, written by me, each week of this month (March 2011), commemorating the Relief Society. I hope you’ll take a look. Starting last week, the articles […]
I found this timely article from the Woman’s Exponent. The testimony of one can stand for a testimony of all. “We believe what is written in the Old and New Testament; we fully believe in all the words spoken by the Savior and the testimony of His Apostles. We believe in the fullness of the […]
You know, when I started this blog, I had a lot of questions of what our organization was about. What’s the big deal anyway? There are so many of us now, we reach across the globe, experiencing a multitude of different lives; our interests are drastically different. Being women, our desires change from day to […]
Many of you may remember Neal A. Maxwell, of the Quorum of the Twelve. This man knew the English language better than most, and his usage of words was truly phenomenal.
