I am an enabler. There. I said it. And it's true, too!

This is something I've been pondering for quite some time and I spent some time on the phone with someone today that unknowingly helped me realize that the way I respond to the person I'm enabling is just perpetuating their unhealthy...

I believe we have all been given unique gifts and talents that can bless others' lives in ways unimagined. What one individual considers a silly quirk about themselves that couldn't possibly benefit even one person usually ends up being their gift to all mankind that benefits hundreds and sometimes...

Today is the fourth year since my niece passed away from injuries sustained in a tragic hay riding accident. It is sad to think that she died and yet there are so many opportunities to celebrate her life. Today is such a day. Thanks to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house we will be able to take...

When I was a young mother, and very new to the job, I would make my children...

I went to get my hair cut the other day and when I walked in a disgusting song was just beginning to play on the radio. The store associate helping me looked at another store associate and said, "I can't listen to this song one more time today." I asked her if it was the song I thought it...

Almost four months ago BS took all of our kids (I was still pregnant) up to see my mom for the weekend. During that time I decided to have a pedicure done. While at the salon I decided to have my nails done just for fun. Due to time commitment and cost in up-keep for nails in the past, I've never...
