Pure Joy + Comfort

It is the first weekend in October. I don't know what a lot of you have going, but my family and I are going to be watching General Conference.

I have a firm testimony that we have a living prophet on the Earth today. I believe that God continues to speak to us, His children. I know from personal experience that following the teachings of our prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and our other appointed leaders brings the sweetest joy, peace, comfort and confidence I have ever experienced. This weekend is a wonderful opportunity to listen to what counsel our Heavenly Father has for us today.

Please take this as a sincere invitation from me to you. I would love to share with you something that has brought such immense joy, comfort, and happiness to me and our family. A real kind of happiness that doesn't ever leave. It is incredible. It is such a strength to me. If you are looking for answers to a question no one seems to be able to answer or are in a rut and don't know what's wrong, or just feel like the world is continuing to become a place you just don't want to be a part of, please take a bit out of your day to listen.

Sessions are: 10am & 2pm today and tomorrow [MDT] So here in Texas, we're watching at 11am & 3pm. I am the worst at timezones...so I hope that makes sense. Just click the image below for more information!


As always, I encourage and welcome your respectful discussion and questions. I sure love my readers. It would be such a joy to me to know this was able to help you in any way.

Blog Site Design: Pound the Pavement for Parenthood

I am honored to have been a part of this project. This organization, Pound the Pavement for Parenthood, is the organization that changed our lives forever last summer. The founder and my good friend, Jill, wanted a new look for the site, so I designed their new logo [look close at the reflection...] and website. It's hosted on blogger, but once we get the URL changed, you'd never know. Hosting it on blogger just makes things really easy to update in the future. Coding it isn't the easiest, but I think the result is totally worth the time it took.

Pound the Pavement for Parenthood is the coolest non-profit. We found it last summer and attended a race for another couple trying to save money for IVF [they're expecting twins now, by the way!] Pound the Pavement helps organize the race and the couple comes out of it with a lot of support and funds for their treatment [or adoption!] and all us infertiles get to support each other and make friends with others in our same situation. Of the 4 couples we met at that race, there are now 6 babies either here or on the way. [2 sets of twins and 2 sweet little girls]. One of the best ways I found to cope with the depression that so often comes along with being infertile was to help others conquer it. This organization does just that. My involvement with PPP is far from over. I'm the webmaster and I'm on the selection committee for sponsored couples. I also intend to start up a race or two in Texas once we get down there. If you're interested in starting a race in your area or being sponsored in an existing location, check out the site! There's info or contact info for any questions you might have.

If you get the chance, like them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. There are exciting things happening and I know many of you could be considered for sponsorship. [You don't have to live in Utah!]
