To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I attended a leadership conference in New York City in early October of this year at the famed Radio City Music Hall where the speaker was Jim Collins, who wrote “Built to Last”, “Good to Great”, and his latest book, “Great by Choice”. He shared a two part principle from his latest book on choosing […]
When my husband and I were first married we belonged to a ward that was affectionately referred to as “Newly wed and Nearly dead”. It’s funny, now years later, we are in a similar ward where we are closer to the nearly dead members. Oh well, what goes around comes around, right? There are a […]
“To supplement the instruction in Sunday meetings, Relief Society sisters may participate in additional meetings. These may include service, classes, projects, conferences, and workshops. In these meetings, sisters learn and accomplish the charitable and practical responsibilities of the Relief Society. They learn and practice skills that will help them increase their faith and personal righteousness, […]
While driving through the mountains on a crisp beautiful autumn day, I viewed the splash of brilliant colors in all their beauty. While not quite as magnificent as an east coast display with its giant purple red maple leaves mixed among the yellow, orange, and rich browns that make up a true autumn spectacular, […]
The Word of Wisdom is one of the signatures of our religion. We certainly know what NOT to partake of, but sometimes we forget the promises of such vital wisdom for our lives. Pres.

General Conference is always highly anticipated at our house. There is always speculation to guess what some of the main themes will be. Will there be any new announcements, releasings, or sustainings? There is always something to look forward to when we listen for the most recent guidance, prophecy, and testimony of our prophet and […]
Don’t ever underestimate your work as a Visiting Teacher, or in this case a Relief Society Magazine representative. Before 1970, The Relief Society Magazine, when purchased for $1 per year, gave you membership into the Relief Society. Sisters were called to be representatives, and asked to get everyone to subscribe to the magazine. There was […]
If you went to the Conference Center for the Women’s Meeting, you probably received some nicely bow-tied tissues. It was so thoughtful for someone to go to all that work for the sisters gathering for their meeting, wasn’t it? I even asked who had gone to all the trouble and the answer was, “a Texas […]
This Saturday I hope all Relief Society women are planning on tuning in to the General Women’s Meeting. It’s been 170 years since Joseph Smith called the sisters together. This will be the first time we hear from our new Relief Society General Presidency. We hope to catch their vision and be reenergized to do […]
I’ve been invited to write for a new online forum called Real Intent, where LDS writers share a journey of discovery through the experimentation of faith. While I’m still mostly interested in Relief Society, my work will occasionally appear on this larger platform as well. Please come and see what we’re doing. We are creating a place of […]
