To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I have learned so much from writing on this blog, it’s ridiculous. Who knew that there was so much history to learn about Mormon women? Okay, yes, I know there are people who are far more studied than I am, and there is much more information out there to uncover, analyze, and learn from, and […]
In Sunday School class I presented several questions as a review of the Doctrine of Covenants. One of the questions provoked quite a discussion. “What would you do if a mob pointed a gun at your child’s head and said they would shoot unless you denied your faith?” This is a question that has been […]
I belong to a challenge group of fiber artists where we take a word and depict it in art. This month’s word is CHAOS. It seems an easy enough word. Just throw a bunch of fabric together, make a mess of it, and call it good. My first thought was to do just that (in […]
Amy Cassandra Brown was born February 7, 1872, in Pleasant Grove, Utah. She grew up to be the General Relief Society President during a changing world, where she would influence the sisters during WWI, the Great Depression, and WWII.

Did you know that Brigham Young abhorred reading novels? I quote, “There are women in our community, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, and sixty years of age, who would rather read a trifling, lying novel than read history, the Book of Mormon, or any other useful print.

“I’m the counselor that heads up Relief Society meetings in my singles ward. And we just put together a meeting earlier this week about Mental Health Awareness, titled :”Chocolate is not the only answer”. It was a huge success! We had good advertising (which helped), but we had a great turnout. We put together four […]
Relief Society leaders are probably still in the process of planning what to do next year. Let me throw out some ideas and see what you think… By now, the stake and ward has probably set up their goals for next year. A Relief Society president should find out what these goals are and frame […]
What did it really mean when Joseph Smith turned the key to the women in the Relief Society? It was quite a profound statement when you think of the period of time they lived in.
