Yes, it is true. I once signed up for an account on an online dating site. I won’t say which one, but I will just say that it was for LDS Singles. (PS-Mom, this is confession time. I know I never told you about this, but now I have, so there!) It is true that […]
Church Ball & the YSA Basketball Tournament
Wilford girls vs. Murray girls Church Ball doesn’t always have the best reputation. I am very well aware of why that is the case. However, this week made me love it. First, let’s digress, because that’s a lot more fun. Last year, I received a new calling to serve as the sports communications director for […]
Tangible Power
The other night, I was working on my managerial negotiations final project. I had to put together a video with film clips from entertainment, news or otherwise that covered negotiation topics from the class. This meant I had to spend several hours watching Youtube video clips (horrible, right?). As I tried to think of examples […]
Ode to Julia
It seems most fitting to write an Ode to Julia. Julia (Jujubee, Juria, the Baby, Hulia, Julliard, etc.) has been my roommate for the last three years and we have been friends for four. I think there is a certain amount of insanity that comes with someone wanting to live with me for three years. […]

God Be with You Till We Meet Again
This has been a really long week and has been so much harder than I ever expected it would be. About 10 minutes after I posted about my grandmother last Monday, I got a phone call that her systems were failing and that I should get to the hospital. I arrived a little after noon […]

The Waiting Room
The last week and a half has been filled with different experiences for me. My dear Grandma Helen Cannon Stitt is in the ICU right now on life support. I can’t seem to process my feelings without writing them down. Grandma Helen and me at her 90th birthday party ————————————————————————————————————————– My grandmother is 90 years […]
Hurrah for Israel!
I think I need a new rule. No more reading awesome news at work. I pulled up Deseret News today and saw something amazing. 58 new missions will be created. My own mission, the Brazil Curitiba mission, is being split to create the Brazil Curitiba South Mission. Seven new missions total in my heartland of […]
Mountains to Climb
As I thought about several people who read my last post and really felt touched by it, I just wished I could always have the right thing to say at the right time. Thankfully, someone else took care of that for me. Thanks Mormon Messages and President Eyring. Absolutely perfect. “Acting on even a twig […]
“And you answer, ‘My child, I love you…'”
Our lesson in Relief Society today was the fourth chapter in the teachings of Lorenzo Snow about the Holy Ghost. At one point in the lesson, I felt I should comment. But, as usually happens, I never adequately express what I am thinking or feeling and inevitably say something that doesn’t make sense. So here […]
On Grace…
For many years, I have loved volunteering at care centers and nursing homes. I suppose it began with Grace. Grace was a lovely widow in my neighborhood. When I was a teenager, my parents told me she needed a little extra help around the house. So I went over about every other week, sometimes more, […]
