I want to share an unexpected, profound experience that I had today . . . while leading the music in Church. Who knew? I didn’t think much about it when I received the text request to stand in for a neighbor who would be gone. My kids’ responses gave me great confidence– “Why did they …

As the meeting started a thought came clearly to my mind–“spiritual roots, spiritual flexibility.” I pondered that for a moment. Outside my home office window is a gorgeous tree–fiery orange and red, and fuller than …
One of my FAVORITE experiences is coming up this weekend ⭐️General Conference⭐️ and it’s got me thinking about many things. Particularly, this cucumber. And the Law of the Harvest. A few months ago I posted that we planted a garden (ish…a square foot box with a few potted friends). And we moved forward with the …

Once again, it’s my children who teach me how to be a better me. A few months ago my missionary daughter mentioned how much she loved reading Jesus the Christ by James E Talmage. I shared that I had read it years ago and we had a sweet chat about it. A few weeks later she …
