For a long time in our cupboard, we had some chocolate balls and tablets that some friends gave us as treats from their vacation trips elsewhere. I tried cooking them once, but I simply am not a good cook, so it didn’t turn out the way I imagined it. The chocolate lumps just didn’t go [...]

I got up early this morning thinking about the many things that I need to get done. They just simply keep coming. But I’ve learned to be grateful for these responsibilities when I realized that working—in whatever form—is a privilege.
Work is an eternal gospel principle. Even God worked [...]

I was talking with my son on the phone last week as I headed home from the grocery, when he suddenly interrupted me and said:
“Mom, I’m sorry, I accidentally broke the shower.”
Screeeeeccchhh! My mind’s switch from the grocery-related train of thoughts to the broken shower was amazing. J
Shower…Broken…How broken? My mind [...]

There was a youth cultural show in our stake last Saturday. Like any other supportive mom, I was in the audience cheering my children and other ward youth members on. The only difference is, I was doing it at the top of my lungs!!! J Nyahaha! J

I was walking with my visiting teaching companion on our way home last night when I saw a familiar face standing outside the gate of their house. Our eyes locked so I waved, but the person looked away without waving back. L
I must admit I felt kind of sad about that, but [...]

In one of our light moments the past weekend, my daughter came up with a brilliant realization about her soon becoming an official adult. She’s turning 18 in March. She said to me in jest:
“Mom, I realized that when I turn 18, I will be old enough to get married, be put [...]

We sat on a bench under a tree in the middle of a green field as she reminisced some of the things that happened in the past. Experiences that happened to her that I didn’t have any knowledge of. Incidents in her life that she used as stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. Feelings that [...]

In this crazy world we live in, we get pulled in all different directions. We sometimes get caught up doing things that don’t really matter much in the end—things that we cannot really bring with us when our turn here on earth is over.
