Recently, I gave a talk in a Latter-day Saint Relief Society meeting.

The only way I can describe it is that it went over like a lead balloon. The first part went well but then it took a nosedive. The message I prepared was not what those women needed. As I finished, I sat down and my heart sank.

Now, I know that I can’t change what happened. I also know that a poor talk doesn’t say anything about the kind of person I am. It doesn’t determine my value or my worth. I know that the worst thing that happens from this is that I feel bad, discouraged and disappointed. I will get over it.

But I wanted a redo and that is what brings me here today.

That is the cool thing about having your own podcast.

So, I got up in the early, early morning and grabbed my computer and began to write this podcast– the talk I wished I had given. I don’t know that any of those women will even hear this. It is pretty unlikely that any of them follow me. But maybe.

But there are words in my heart that I want to share so I am going to share them with you on this week's podcast.

Mentioned in the podcast:

Oh, The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss

Dedicated to the Mendon 1st Ward Relief Society
