What is the difference between these two words? On the surface they seem to be the same, yet when you really dive into it they are very different. For a large part of my life I have worked at being a peacekeeper. Which means, trying to make sure everyone is happy, walking on eggshells, andContinue reading “Are You a Peacemaker or a Peacekeeper?”

Dakota and the Crossroads
A couple of years ago I went to Logan, Utah for the weekend and was able to spend some one on one time with my son Dakota. It was a breathtaking adventure in more ways than one. We went 4 wheeling in his truck. I was touched by the way he watched out for meContinue reading “Dakota and the Crossroads”
Conflict, Patience, & Gratitude
Conflict, Patience, & Gratitude Recently, I had the blessing of attending a baptism and experiencing that joyful, peaceful feeling of the spirit. I was taken back to the day I was baptized. It was so long ago that I was actually baptized in the Salt Lake City tabernacle on temple square. The baptismal font isContinue reading “Conflict, Patience, & Gratitude”
Singing and Miracles
I look for God’s hand in my life everyday. More and more I see the little miracles when God is watching over me. Some ways are obvious and others are subtle or not even realized until long after. Looking back on my life, I see many hard things as the blessings or gifts they areContinue reading “Singing and Miracles”

At that time, my self care consisted of regular exercise, good nutrition, and getting my nails and hair done. The last two ofContinue reading “Learning Self Care”
New Year, New Word, New Plan
I have always been a planner. I love to plan! But I had lost some of my optimism the last few years and planning has seemed more like a plea or desperate fight for survival rather than my usual fun activity. This year planning has been an all time new experience! So many variables inContinue reading “New Year, New Word, New Plan”
Advent and Hope
Advent is the beginning of the Christmas season. I love this Christmas carol and how it speaks of “the thrill of hope” the world experienced when Christ was born. Being faced with all kinds of changes this Christmas season, it has been really important for me to focus on the true meaning of ChristmasContinue reading “Advent and Hope”
Birthdays, Triggers, and Self Care
I celebrated my birthday last week. Birthdays have always been important to me. I don’t connect them to getting older or aging. For me, they are a celebration of life and our existence here on earth. Celebrating became even more important as each of my children were born and I experienced the euphoria of bringingContinue reading “Birthdays, Triggers, and Self Care”
