A Shout Out






To My Mother

This woman...
  • Loves purple
  • Plays the drums, and is DANG good at it, too! 
  • Is a good dancer
  • Has a smile that can light up a room
  • Loves everyone
  • Has a hug that can heal

This woman...

Started it all. She brought me into this world, and teaches me how to be the best me I can possibly be. She is the one who gave me my love for singing, dancing, and laughing. Some of my best memories include my mommy. 

I will forever be in her debt for loving me unconditionally, no matter what. She supports me in absolutely everything I want to do.  She is the most forgiving person, and someone I hope to be like one day. She is so close to the spirit and she brings me so much joy. She has never said a mean or unkind thing to anyone, nor has she allowed anything negative to come out of her mouth. My mom has a gift. A gift to love everyone. She honestly has never said an unkind thing in her life. And she is amazing. She knows how to make a gloomy day seem brighter. 

I remember once when I was on a trip once, I wasn't having a very good time and I was really homesick. The people were not welcoming and I hated how I felt on that trip. And the only thing that kept me going all trip long, was that I could go home and hug my mom. All I wanted that whole week was a hug from my mom. That's it. And just imagining that feeling brought me peace. 

And that's what my mother does. She brings peace. She brings joy. She brings color. She brings love. She brings laughter. She brings happiness.

And I love her deeply.

Thanks, Mom, for everything you do for me! I love you forever!

10 Things to Do When You're Having A Hard Time

Image
Imagine a world where the sun is always shining, there is no temptation, weakness, or sin. The grass is always green, hair is always shiny, flowers never die, people never misbehave, no illness exists, and the sky is always blue. Imagine also a world where you never felt joy, you never laughed, you never sang or danced in the kitchen. There was no sweet – there was no color, there was no life. There was no righteousness, no growth, no children, no family. Oddly enough, these are the same world. When we chose God’s plan, we knew that this life would be difficult. Our whole purpose in coming to Earth is to be tried and tested. Yet, sometimes when life gets hard, we forget that we CHOSE this. There must needs be an opposition in all things. Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths.” 1. Realize and understand your divine nature as a child of God. There is

Ah, Lovely Scarlet Pimpernel

Well, The Scarlet Pimpernel is now over. Sad life. I enjoyed it so much. You know, I don't know what it is about theatre...it doesn't even matter if you have a part or not...theatre is happiness. It brings joy. Joy to all those who participate. Joy to the actors, and joy to the audience. And there's something extra special about a musical. Music is also joy. So, double the joy! :) I feel the same way I did when I quit dance. I feel like I've been separated from my family. I feel like I've moved away from home and from everything that I love. Although this isn't quite true, I do miss my cast family very much. However, I will say...there's something extraordinary about a smaller cast. You really have time to connect and bond with each other. But I really feel like this cast was amazing. I've become so close with all of them. I would just like to spend a few minutes to thank all of those that are really special. (Sorry, I don't have any pictur

A Year and a Half Sacrifice (Or Two Years)

So my sister is coming home today! Today at 5:55 PM, I will see my sister, Katie, face-to-face for the first time in 18 months. A year and a half... She was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, joining, the thousands of missionaries in the world, and my 4 brothers, and my dad. I was thinking the other day, how crazy it is that I haven't seen her in so long! I'm so excited I can't even contain it! But I'm glad. I'm glad her and all my brothers and my dad all sacrificed 2 (or 1 1/2 years) to invite others to come unto Christ. If it were for any other reason, I'd be sad. I mean...I HAVEN'T SEEN MY SISTER IN A YEAR AND A HALF. But I'm glad it's because she was on a mission. I'm happy. Can you tell? P.S. Does anyone know why my blog paraphraphs all mush into one? I press enter and separate them, but they don't separate, unless I make it a bulleted list? I'm so confused.
