What do you do when your dream hasn’t happened yet? You keep believing and trusting and showing the real you. You show that believing and trusting is who you really are, even when up until now your dream isn’t reality. “Dare to do something so extreme that people wonder if you’re crazy. Dare to make […]
Sometimes I feel small. I compare myself to the world’s standards and wonder when I’ll become my best self. I get lost in the shifting ideals of change that surround me. But when I remember my purpose I have peace. I listen to this song and remember the purpose of life. To Become Like Him By […]
What beautiful words: “Come, follow me,” the Savior said. Then let us in his footsteps tread, For thus alone can we be one With God’s own loved, begotten Son. “Come, follow me,” a simple phrase, Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays Are in these simple words combined To urge, inspire the human mind. Is it enough […]
I wrote this journal entry exactly five years ago today and in reading it again feel to share it on my blog. Enjoy! August 24, 2013 The Ultimate Cost God wants to bless us. But first He wants to know that we mean what we say – at the ultimate cost. This scripture has deeper meaning […]
Having MS has directed my attention to me, my home and my family. In July 2008 -when symptoms first started happening to me and before knowing about having MS- I sat in my living room staring at the wall. While sitting there I could feel nothing in my home -no warmth, no happiness, no love; […]
“Asking is the beginning of receiving. Don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you” -Jim Rohn. For over thirty years I didn’t have the humility to sincerely ask. Surely, I asked….but not in humility but because I wanted it. I thought I was […]
“Rise to the great potential within you” – Gordon B. Hinckley. Rise up to who you truly are. Dare to achieve. Be brave, smart, confident, and strong. Go for it and don’t stop until it’s accomplished! Stretch yourself. Reach for the best. You have what it takes. Stay the course and know it can be […]
Dare to only tell ourselves the truth. When bombarded with unsavory thoughts honestly ask ourselves, “is that true?” then believe the answer. #sunshineandblueskiesabovetheclouds #sharegoodness #trulyyou #reachhigher #positiveoutlook #overcomenegativethinking #liftpeopleup #bealight #dowhatyoucan #goforit #itcanbedone #successfulthinking #love #goodness #kindness
You don’t have to have a degree to say what you know and a degree doesn’t give you talent. I’m all for formal education but I’m all for life education, too. Maybe the thought is ‘I got a degree in *this* but not *that* so I don’t have the right to say anything.’ My belief […]
This was me in January 2016 when I greatly felt to reclaim my life. (I’d been sick with MS since 2008, had learned many things, and for years felt to not care about my appearance.) But in 2016 I felt impressed to care again and get back into the real world. In 2016, I did […]
Why do I say what I do? Why say anything at all? Because I care. Because I want to uplift and be a light in this dark world. Because I want to help someone in their life. Because when you know something it’s most helpful to share it. Because I think a lot and answers come […]
I love Nike’s logo to “Just do it.” In my mind I can hear a person I greatly revere saying, “Dare to stand for what’s right even if standing alone.” A song encourages me with these words “Do what is right.” A ring’s motif says “Choose the right.” Other people’s statements encourage me (“People of […]
