To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Thanksgiving isn’t the only time to be thankful, but this yearly reminder sure helps those of us who suffer from gratitude amnesia. I’d like to thank everyone for hanging in here with me. I’m thankful for all the things I’ve learned as I’ve researched our Relief Society’s history. I’ve thrown in some personal thoughts and […]
This is a phrase that we are all very much familiar with but sometimes bristle at because it sounds so hard and difficult. In Hebrew the idea of end has a more positive thought or feeling. End means more like complete, full or perfect. We would endure to the end of the Plan of Happiness […]
I don’t know about you, but listening to Conference addresses is a wonderful experience and blessing in my life. The words from our prophets are truly inspiring, thought provoking, and life changing, but only if we let them be. I can’t ever pick a favorite talk. When I get my Ensign, I read each of […]
In our busy lifestyles, especially during the holidays, we tend to be a little more impatient with the children, or hurry our precious time with them.

There are so many creative people out in […]
Weather is not the reason why we wear clothing. It’s a good reason, but there is a better reason. We wear clothes to cover the body and not suggest alternate activities that can be done with the body (if you get my drift). By looking around, we can judge pretty quickly everyone by their clothing.

I already wrote once about Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk given in the General Women’s Meeting, but I feel to address it a second time. He talked about achieving happiness and he used two ways to get there: Creating and being Compassionate. I would like to dissect the “Creating” part of his talk. First of all he […]
When the Relief Society was reorganized in Salt Lake City, women needed a place to meet. Since there were, at first, so few of them, it was easy to gather together in each other’s homes. As the Society grew though, it was clear larger quarters would be necessary. Chapels, at that time, did not have […]
In Hebrew the word for heart is pronounced, lev and would look like this: לב The Lamed, ל, symbolically represents a staff or rod of the shepherd.
