Together we can!

"The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."  -Margaret D. Nadauld


I have been so very blessed to have wonderful women in my life! I have an amazing mother, five beautiful and talented sisters, and four precious daughters. I have also been blessed with a mother-in-law of great faith, several sisters-in-law, and two daughters-in-law. I honestly don't know where I would be without these amazing ladies. They are my very best friends and they have seen me through some really tough times. They have buoyed me up and even carried me at times when my courage and strength have failed me. They keep me laughing every day.

On my 50th birthday, my first since losing my husband Kim, my sisters planned a fun trip to St. George to celebrate. We talked all night, laughed, cried, walked, and ate way too much! We started calling ourselves "THE SISTERHOOD". We often get together for Tuesday lunches and an occasional trip back to St. George. How very grateful I am to be part of such a wonderful "sisterhood". These women have supported me throughout the joyous times in my life and also during the times when my heartache and sorrow have overwhelmed me. They have been such a great comfort and blessing to me, especially over the last five years.

The other day, my sister Becky was doing my hair, which usually ends up being more of a therapy session. We talked about some of the challenges that we both are going through right now. As I got ready to leave, I mentioned that I don't know how I would get through my life without my sisters. Becky said something that really struck me. She said, "We will help each other get through this life. Together we can do this". So today, I am so very grateful for amazing women who bless my life and help me to find hope. Heavenly Father knew that I needed these angels in my life. TOGETHER WE CAN!!!
