The Grammys

I’m watching The Grammy Awards right now. I think this might be the best grammys I’ve ever watched. I also think it’s the first time I’ve watched the show in a few years. Justin Timberlake said the same thing. I was thinking back to the days of Britney and Justin and the horrible state ofContinue reading “The Grammys”

Sharing Time

Asking people to come see a show you’re involved in is sort of like sharing your religion. You don’t want to seem too eager or too desperate… But you just love it soooo much! And you want people to know that you respect that they have wonderful lives that are busy and filled with allContinue reading “Sharing Time”

The Magical Box

I dropped my mom off at the airport early this morning. She told me she loved me in the sweetest way that made my heart flutter. I drove over to the office and started work a good hour early. I finished up my to do list by about ten. Then things got busy. But duringContinue reading “The Magical Box”

Charity, the Bond of Perfectness and Peace

We sat at the back of this large hall filled with women. The ladies were all different ages, with varying histories. One woman talked about a trip to Antarctica. I’m sure there were other women there like me who would never have the money to go to Antarctica. Bonnie Parkin taught from the front ofContinue reading “Charity, the Bond of Perfectness and Peace”

Blessing

I had this thought the other day to check on the times for a class taught by some inspiring women leaders in my church on Thursday mornings… And today my grandma called and told me she’s feeling better and restless. Immediately, I knew that I need to take her to the class. Or she needsContinue reading “Blessing”

Silver Linings

I love this movie. I have avoided writing too much about this because I didn’t want to influence friends’ experiences with this movie, but my friend Carlos posted this video on his facebook page today. I watched all 7 minutes. And I cried. One of my favorite moments in the interview is when the director, DavidContinue reading “Silver Linings”

Home

I imagine you saw this commercial yesterday. When I was 13, my mom married my step-dad Brent and we moved to the Bear River Valley. Brent grew up a farmer, his dad died in a farming accident at 80.His brothers still farm the family farm. And I spent my teenage years in this enchanting valley.Continue reading “Home”

February Goal

My resolution for the entire year is to post something I’m grateful for everyday. Now, if I’m in the middle of having a happy day, I’m not about to stop in order to post a blog. But I generally have time to post something reflective. I have missed two days so far. Jan 26th andContinue reading “February Goal”

Happiness Is…

Morning without an alarm. Plenty of sleep. A warm bath with luxurious salts, oils, and candles. Plenty of time to run errands. A matinee with bunches of little kids in the audience. And my dear friend Ruth and her beautiful cherubs. A fun dinner with the cast and crew. Right now, I’m sitting in theContinue reading “Happiness Is…”

My Mom

This is my mom. Well, this is her from 20 years ago. I just found a picture from Thanksgiving where she’s wearing a pink striped shirt. She looks the same. It’s ridiculous. I would post it, but I took it when she was taking a bite of food and so it wouldn’t be kosher toContinue reading “My Mom”
