Lately we’ve been singing our own version of this primary song. It started because I could never keep the phrases & lines straight so I just started being silly. We shine our ears and we shampoo our shoes. We call it the get-to-work done day. We trim our clothes and we shop at the store. […]
My dear friend, Steph, who resides up in Alaska (the land of much snow this year), reminded me yesterday that LIFE is a process. It’s not about becoming perfect all at once. It’s about taking Baby Steps. And my favorite line: Isn’t that awesome! Really I’m thinking the Star Trek way might be the easiest: […]
needs some encouragement. I’m not good at a few minutes here… a few minutes there. I’d rather conquer something all at once. But such is not my life. I needed to revisit something I read by Emilie Barnes in the book I’m reading… Before I read this book I thought to myself… oh, I’m not […]
Tonight, though there is a small blizzard outside, I went for a little vacation. It’s good to do that when you feel stretched and tired. Tonight I traveled around the world seeing some fabulous lighthouses… Australia, Africa, Croatia, California, Scotland, Poland… fantastic. I want to have a “LIGHT” wall in my home where we hang […]
Remember the $120 Package I mailed to the wrong address? Well, I mailed it to my sister who lives in the heart of Los Angeles. I sent it to her address from 2 years ago (oops!). Due to a sister, who must know how to do things in the Big City, she talked those L.A. […]
Dinner Time Conversation. Loved Abe’s comment. True Story. Found these shoes for $12.99 on 6pm.com. True Story. They are super comfy and earth-friendly (or so they say). Too bad the Simple Shoe company is going out of business. Isn’t that how it always is. Anyhoo… now my feet are excited for spring weather. True Story. […]
is it because it’s warm, sunny … on the beach… with greeeeeeen? and i’m in utah in the cold and it’s snowing outside… brrr… or is it the simple gifts song i love… with a non-cheesy over the rainbow compilation. i like. “ja. this is good for my heart.”
This is what Max said when I asked him to help empty the dishwasher. He’s stopped saying, “But that is too hard.” and now says, “But it is not Easy.” Every time I say, “You can do hard things.” “You can do it… you can do it…” And you know what – these two boys […]
Right now, Eliza reminds me of a Roly Poly Potato Bug. She’s so squishy and soft and she pulls those feet up to eat them and then she rolls around the house. She doesn’t crawl at all, but she can make it across the room somehow by rolling around. She’s such a cute little bug!
Remember how I was pretty hard on myself last night. Jimmy tried to encourage me, saying that it did no good to be so disappointed in myself over such things. Well – today I had an ah-ha moment during the R.S. Lesson. The Talk: The Divine Gift of Repentance by Elder D. Todd Christofferson. My […]
