Okay... I will admit. I have been a little discouraged with this weight loss thing. I have been around the same weight for 4 months now. I have so many more pounds to lose to be in the "safe" zone. I am eating well... look at my Menu Mondays. I am doing what I can… Continue reading Warriors Never Quit

Warriors in the Making
I've been thinking today about what makes a warrior woman. A warrior woman is someone who defends core values. She stands up for what is right. She defends children and family. She stand for peace. She stands her ground and, if necessary, pushes for change. She isn't really about glory and is often going about… Continue reading Warriors in the Making
A Warrior’s Personal Power
Have you ever noticed that some people seem to never be down, never get discouraged, and always seem to be in charge of their life? I wonder why these people have such a positive, uplifting vibe and others don't. I recognize that we all positive and negative thoughts and moods. I am learning that there… Continue reading A Warrior’s Personal Power
A Warrior sees the Divine Design
Yesterday I read talk by Elder Ronald A. Rasband entitled By Divine Design. As I read I couldn't help but think how a Warrior understands the Divine Design, embraces it, and lives it. In this talk he talked about how there are no "coincidences with God... things happen by "divine design." Now, that is not… Continue reading A Warrior sees the Divine Design
I am Raising Warrior Moms
Yesterday I was there to witness the birth of my grandson, Holland Maitland Jessop. My daughter, his mom, is a warrior! Her labors and deliveries are much faster than mine ever were. She really "labored" all day in what experts call pre-labor. It is a labor that is uncomfortable, makes you super tired, and moves… Continue reading I am Raising Warrior Moms

I didn't get to write yesterday on my usual Thought Tuesday time. However, the subject that is weighing on my mind applies to both Warrior Wednesday and Thought Tuesday. I have been greatly saddened by many of the events across our nation, both locally and further away. A scripture in Matthew 24:12 comes to… Continue reading A Warrior Puts others First!
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
I would say that most people think hat happiness is a result of all your "ducks" getting in a row. Some believe that happiness is when things are going your way. Isn't that reducing happiness to luck? Happiness doesn't just "happen." Think about it! You have met a few people who are happy, who stay… Continue reading Don’t Worry, Be Happy
A Warrior Chooses the Harder Right
There are days that are best described on the pages of Harry Potter. Ever since the books were released, I have been inspired by their pages. Some how, Dumbledore has wise words for every situation. Take these quotes, for example: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our… Continue reading A Warrior Chooses the Harder Right
A Warrior Sees the Positive Side of Life
A Warrior sees the positive side of life. "See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort." - Dalai Lama I have been working on staying positive for ten months or more - off and on for years really. Even if all this effort I find that on some days I need to fight… Continue reading A Warrior Sees the Positive Side of Life

A Warrior stays positive! Negative things happen all the time... to everyone. However, we do not need to allow the negative situations to effect our lives and our attitudes. You can remain positive in the midst of tragedy. A Warrior stays positive! Surround yourself with positive people that can help you, and each other, through… Continue reading A Warrior Stays Positive
