A New Years Tradition. I have developed a bit of an aversion to the idea of goal setting. Most likely from years of 'Personal Progress' and 'Pursuit of Excellence' programs fed to me all my life. Not to mention daily and weekly goal setting for nearly two years of my life while laboring in the mission field. For the last several years I've had a tradition of treasure mapping for the new year. Katie has carried this tradition into her adult life and shares it with her friends each year. I, on the othe...

Families are Forever - Unless. Growing up Mormon; 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.'. This pity and judgement was all wrapped up in golden rules like 'love thy neighbor' or 'love the sinner but hate the sin'. These golden rules allowed me to feel like a compassionate, loving, non-judgmental person. What was really happening; however, was that I had little respect for my father as I tried so diligently to save his sorry soul. Families are forever; '. Are very real in so many people's l...

More on Gay Marriage. I have been away from my blog for a long time. Sometimes I have to retreat from my own rants and raves and just relax a bit. I thought I would look through comments on prior posts to see if it ignited any writing ideas. I realized that there were a couple of comments that I have never replied to. There was one comment left by someone I respect very much, C. L. Hanson, she posts regularly on her blog, ' Letters From a Broad. Here is the comment I never got back to:. Jeremy is right t...

Screaming My Truth Softly. A lot of people can live in the duality. Of church activity with all the dissonance; still finding they are uplifted and edified. For me, however, it got to a point where I rarely felt good at church; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I would go to church on Sunday and leave absolutely exhausted and drained of any good will I had built up during the week. Being with the Saints on Sunday was kicking my butt. Should a young man not wearing a white shirt. What I found was the te...

Now I Know What is Meant by the 'Sandwiched Generation'. Now I know what is meant by the 'Sandwiched Generation'. I thought I knew before; however, as I was lying in bed frustrated to tears because my son and his friends were up at 3am while my 90 year old mother was sleeping in the room above them; I realized what it meant to be sandwiched; dealing with the emotions that come with caring for my children and my parent. My mom moved in with us, at my invitation, at the beginning of the month. She's 90...

I Believe that I Don't Believe. I am more recently moving into the 'I can't imagine there is a God' place; the idea seems like a fairy tale or a myth. I have yet to define the ' ism. I subscribe to. For now I'll call it myism; a belief system of my own making. I believe we have this life and we should make good choices. The choices that bring us, and those around us, happiness and love. I believe Excel is a miracle. What is it in our human nature driving us to form religions and beliefs in something or s...

If you aren't familiar with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (The Mormons) you may not understand a lot of the terminology used in this post. I hope you can still relate to the story. If you are a member of the church; know that my intention is not to disclose anything sacred or mock your beliefs. The events are real. The names have been changed. First the story leading up to the event. As I thought about my conversation with President Marshall; about the problem of domestic violence in th...
