Episode 66 - The Peace HE Offers

On this week's podcast episode, I am doing something a little bit different.  I am going to share a talk that I recently gave at a Young Women’s Girls Camp.  

As I prepared my talk, an interesting thing happened.  The words just flowed into my mind.  I really feel like the message I was preparing was inspired.  Last week, I shared this message with this group of young women and I knew at that moment that I wanted to share this same message with you.  I really believe that no matter our age or season of life, this message is applicable to all of us.

So I am going to share this message with you all today and  I hope that there is just one thing that you can take away that will help you find and feel peace in your current season of life.

Episode 64 - You Are Not Your Thoughts

When I sat down to write this week's podcast episode, I prayed to know what would be good to talk about and the thought came to me, “soundtracks.”

I knew right away what I wanted to talk about today.

In this episode, I talk about the repeated thoughts or "soundtracks" we have running on repeat in our minds.

We are not our thoughts.

Our ability and power to think for ourselves is a gift from God and we get to choose our thoughts.

Episode 54 - The Talk I Wish I’d Given

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
