Why do I take myself on a ride everyday? To sit somewhere else besides my recliner. Believe me, if I could do something else, I would! But driving is the only thing I can do that doesn’t exhaust me (until after a while,) and so I do it! NOTE: I don’t feel sorry for myself […]
The conversation was informative and enjoyable but then it took an unexpected turn. Later my thoughts wandered to thinking about the unexpected turn which led to unhealthy paths of thought. “Think about something else” was profoundly there and so in my mind I though uplifting words. I kept thinking good things and never thought anything […]
Connecting with sisters in my ward through a video conferencing Relief Society meeting today meant so much to me! I hadn’t attended church for more than a year before the COVID-19 outbreak. Not attending church didn’t mean I was inactive or no longer cared about church but that physically I felt uncomfortable and therefore stopped […]
I focus on what I want (eternal life) and let go of everything else that doesn’t help me get there. My focus turns to becoming like my Lord.

10,000 hours / 6 hours per day = 1,666 days (4.5 years): If 10,000 hours invested makes me an expert and I’ve devoted at least 6 hours per day to studying the scriptures and other spiritual things and have done it for at least 4.5 years then the result says that I know a lot […]
I look forward to one day always focusing on the spiritual instead of focusing on the world for six days (life, work…) and only focusing on the spiritual for just one day. It’s all about having our hearts connected to Heavenly Father, right?!! The things that don’t matter (and the things most people focus on) […]
It’s not that I have a perfect life with no problems. Nor is it that I have my head in the clouds and only see positive things. On one hand I’ll be the first to say “It’s not fair,” “I don’t like this,” “Why?” and “If only” but what good will saying it do? Because […]
