A week ago I had a lovely thing happen. It was the fruition of a delightful desire for 15 years or more. But what made it truly joyfully satisfying was how it came about. Many years ago I fell into speaking through requests from different Relief Societies for their evenings and then women’s conferences. After …
This past week, I attended two funerals within a few days of each other. Both were very different–a loving matriarch and a young fun-loving mayor.

Last week I had two opportunities to face and embrace my fears. First, I was invited to be the self-help guest on Studio 5’s LIVE baby shower show–I’d never done a live one before! AND do the keynote for the Success Summit women’s conference. Seriously, I felt so nervous about both–as in, wake up …
