Forgiveness is on my mind. It is so easy to be hurt by people, situations, or even ourselves. It is also easy to stay stuck in the messiness of what happened and just wallow in it. The other day I was praying about forgiveness and asked to see what it looks like when we use the Atonement of Jesus Christ to help us forgive and I saw something beautiful!

When I was a newlywed, it confused me so much when Rob would ask me where the bandaids were. The first few times it made sense. But after showing him 5 times where the bandaids were. I was irritated when he asked. It was only after I figured out, he wasn’t just asking where the bandaids were, he was wanting some love and attention because he got hurt. That I was able to respond to the question with kindness and love. 25 years later and he still asks where the bandaids are. Thank goodness I figur...

I have been decluttering my closet and decided to go through my many many pairs of yoga and sweatpants. There were some that I didn’t really love and decided to try each pair on, wear them for at least and hour and then rate them. It was amazing how many were 5 or under, there were quite a few at a 7 and 1 ranked an 8 and 1 ranked a 9. I was really hoping for a 10, but nope, none were a 10 I wondered, what would make a pair of pants a 10? After pondering, I came up with, if I could wear it all d...

Someone posed this question to me, and it caused me to stop in my tracks. Longing – such a powerful word. Not what do I want or what do I need. But what do I long for? Sometimes I long for deep connection with others. Not surface conversations, though those are needed and appropriate much of the time. But deep heart felt conversations. Sometimes I am longing for peace and quiet To be all alone in my house And read a book, snuggled up by the fire. Sometimes I long for my family to gather round th...

I was watching WyzeGuy (what I named the vacuum) moving around the house and was really getting irritated by how he was vacuuming. It didn’t make any sense. It didn’t seem logical. I was sort of yelling at him and telling him there was a better way to do it. Then I realized I was yelling at a robot; with artificial intelligence whose only purpose is to vacuum. It hit me; I have a control problem. HELPFUL LINKS Follow me on Instagram @powerupyourprayers Podcast Episodes – Show notes Grab a Copy o...

I usually just throw my dishes in the dishwasher after scraping them off. No rinsing, or scrubbing. This is how they say to do it and frankly, it usually works. But sometimes, you get the stubborn stuff stuck on, that doesn’t want to come off. I usually put it back in the dishwasher in hopes this time it will work. Sometimes it does. But sometimes, after 3 or 4 tries I finally get the scrubby brush out and with a quick swipe or two get it clean. Here is how that can apply to finding joy in your ...
I loved Elder Dunn’s talk in October Conference called One Percent Change, he talked about the British Bike Team and how horrible they were for many, many years. And how positive change only happened when they had someone come in who focused on making 1 percent changes at a time. From how to put socks on correctly, to tuning their bikes a certain way. These 1 percent changes over a very short time made them into a winning team. I want to you to harness the power of setting 1 Percent Change SIPS ...

I grew up in a home without religion. My parents are amazing and raised me well, but faith wasn’t a part of our life. Except for Christmas Carols. Every Christmas we would play Christmas Carols and sing them together. I vividly remember driving around town, seeing the snow falling and singing Carols with my Mom and Dad. It was my introduction to Jesus. What a magical one at that. The songs all evoked amazing pictures in my mind and heart. I could feel that these were songs that were special in a...

I love to teach people that our days/weeks/lives have different levels of joy. Life is 1% amazing… 24% pretty good 50% OK 24% not so great 1% horrible This could be throughout 1 day, or throughout a month, or throughout a year… This is so helpful, because when the bad things happen, I can remember, this is normal, of course 100% can’t be good. Also, when the boring normal ok things happen, I can remember this is normal too. I was talking about this with my prayer group one morning. One of my swe...
