This week my husband opened the bathroom door and announced the bathroom was clean enough to be a "celestial" bathroom. Trust me. These ideas work!

Holding on During the Holidays
Time to catch up! New recipes and a progress report coming tomorrow on Menu Monday!
Before I started my newest lifestyle change I was suffering from aching muscles and joints, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t move well, and over all, felt like crap. I thought I was doing all the right things for my body. I thought I was eating well. I counted calories. I counted carbs, proteins and fats. Now… Now I realize I was eating myself to death.
Truth be known… I was addicted to food… “healthy” foods. However, these “healthy” foods were not really healthy.
I had been gluten free, sugar free, and dairy free for years, yet my weight crept up and I felt awful all the time. The “free” part wasn’t my issue. My problems were complicated by my efforts to “substitute” sugar, gluten, and dairy with “fake” products that were chemically harming me.
The first few weeks of eating the End of Dieting way I had a seriously yucky headache. My…

The Gift of Repentance – The Parable of the Pen and Shane the Sheep
Today I gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting today. Here it is in all it's glory... To introduce my subject I decided to write a parable... the Parable of the Pen... and Shane the Sheep (no relation to Shawn the Sheep). As inspiration for this parable I look to John chapter 10 where Jesus makes… Continue reading The Gift of Repentance – The Parable of the Pen and Shane the Sheep
Satisfied with Star War The Last Jedi
SPOILER ALERT! I've seen some hate floating around the release of the latest Star Wars film. I don't get it. I LOVED the latest in the Star Wars saga! I loved old characters that made their return. I loved the new characters that were introduced. I loved the visuals and cinematography. I loved the plot… Continue reading Satisfied with Star War The Last Jedi

Christmas is Coming
It has been a fairly relaxing week of getting ready for Christmas. It started with lots of cleaning up and laundry. Not much is picture worthy in that.
Meanwhile, John went to Springville to visit family for the week. He went to visit and to help his siblings with some family things. He helped his parents do a few things in the their new living arrangements. He helped his siblings with a couple things at the family home. He also got to hang out with McKay and her family.
Meanwhile, at home, Lillian’s choir got to sing “back up” for an opera singer who came to do a Christmas concert in our auditorium. It was a nice event. It was fun to hear them sing and to hear the beautiful music shared that evening.

Some weeks you win… some you don’t
The weeks before Christmas were a challenge, but I made it!
This week was crazy busy. I had a concert every single night. I had a hard time getting health food for myself every day. I have to admit, I didn’t make the right choice every time. Now, don’t go thinking I fell off the wagon and dove into sugar and a carnivorous lifestyle. I didn’t go eating fast food. I just ate a few things that are not generally on the menu. I also ate way to late in the day. I paid for that choice. I often had a hard time sleeping and my gut began to ache by the end of the week. This coming week is a low key. I will be able to make all kinds of food at home. I am looking forward to healthy, leisurely eating!
This week I can focus on my health. This week I can focus on what Dr. Fuhrman says…

Symbolism
I love that God teaches me with symbols! Everything points to Him! I love every discovery that I make!
So much to think about today!
Today I taught a lesson in Sunday School about symbolism. We had a great discussion. The kids were very engaged. I will talk about what we talked about in another blog on a different date. But I do want to address symbolism.
I have been fascinated with symbolism for much of my adult life.
Symbols are a timeless, universal language.
God often speaks to us through symbols.
I want to be more literate in the things of the Spirit and more fluent in the language of symbols.
Today I told my Sunday School students that God has given us reminders of Him and His Plan all around us. I encouraged them to look for these reminders and symbols.
