Today, as I left my corporate office for the last time, I gave gratitude to God for sending me there and for giving me so many incredible experiences and opportunities to serve while working there. I patted my baby bump and teasingly said out loud, "Well Autumn, you can come anytime because I'm all done … Continue reading Journeying Closer to Motherhood
Preparing for Success
This past week I centered my scripture study on the war chapters in Alma and dissected out principals that helped me overcome a weakness I've been dealing with. I have a few big projects I have been working on in my free-time that the Lord has led me to work on. While they have been … Continue reading Preparing for Success
Daily Manna
Today my thought's have been turned to the power of daily scripture study and how I need to improve on that in my personal life. It seems like I always have something I'm doing really well, and something I let drop because all-too-often I try to juggle too many balls at once. Being pregnant has … Continue reading Daily Manna

Lasting Peace Amid Thorns

I have always been a giver and find it easy to help others, give when needed, or put others first...but when it comes to letting others give to me in return, I really struggle. There have been difficult … Continue reading The Art of Giving and Receiving
Whose flowers are you watering?
As children we are taught certain boundaries and given many “do’s” and “don’ts” for our protection and the protection of others. But as we grow into adults, the idea of setting boundaries seems somewhat un-Christian. Aren’t we supposed to do unto others as we would have others do unto us? Aren’t we supposed to serve, … Continue reading Whose flowers are you watering?

An Attitude of Gratitude
It's that time of year where everyone shares their thankful countdown to Thanksgiving and spend a few minutes each day pondering the things in their lives that they are grateful for. But isn't it a shame that we only spend one month of the year focusing on the things we are grateful for and we spend … Continue reading An Attitude of Gratitude
Spirituality at the End of a Fork
"If we see healthy eating and exercise as something only our doctor expects of us, we will likely fail. If we see these choices as who we are and who we want to become, we have a greater chance of staying the course and succeeding." - Dieter F. Utchdorf During my divorce about 6 months … Continue reading Spirituality at the End of a Fork
