New Beginnings


This little goodie is left over from our New Beginnings night in Young Womens.  Perfect timing for Valentines day no?  While on the subject, I listened to these girls sing "Be strong" which was so touching, Some of the lyrics:  "If in the noise that's all around, you can't hear the Spirit's voice, be strong, be strong.  And when you stand for something right and stand alone, remember someone else stands by you in our heavenly home.  Be strong and of good courage.  Be not afraid.  Stand firm."  and watched our General YW President's message to girls around the world.  Relating the young women to Queen Esther, "And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"  It was stirring.  I am very grateful to be a woman, very grateful,  and to have the knowledge that I do about our Heavenly Father's plan for us.  I find these things so empowering.

These words are really touching. Melani's boys have this theme on their bedroom walls but that is all I knew of it.

What I'm All About

What am I all about?  I am a woman of faith and love God.  I live for my sweet family.  I get excited about art, culture, design, literature, history, politics, fashion, quilts, travel, entertaining and small pleasures.  I have a lot of soap boxes and I struggle to make sense of the flurry of ideas in my head. Maybe this blog will help.

That Thing With Feathers

I will explain.  My favorite poem is "Hope" by Emily Dickinson.  
Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That's kept so many warm.

I've seen it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
Somehow this has always stayed in my memory, yet now as the world grows more frightening and uncertain, this idea of hope seems to become of increasing importance.  Hence, That Thing With Feathers.
