Do justly

Walk humbly
Judge righteously
D&C 11:12

Our hardships help us to have more tender hearts.

Addiction…violated your values and ignored responsibilities to pursue an overpowering desire.

When you are in joy with life you cannot vibrate negatively and you cannot attract negatively, only positively.

I ought not to be discouraged but hang on, excercise faith, and keep up good courage and I should come out on the top of the heap at last.

You tell the story that I am this, or I am that, and you fall in love with your story. What do I have to do with it? I am here for your perception, as if I had a choice.

It's not your job to love me__ it's mine.

Mainly, just lighten up. Be natural. Get off your case for not being perfect. Pat yourself on the back for effort. Give yourself credit for wanting to take control of your life.

Favorite Books

These books are not only good in my opinion...but GREAT because they have blessed me to rise to a higher level of performance!

*Book of Mormon
I never stop reading this book, when I complete the last page I start over. I started color coding this book with a stop light color coding system and it speaks volumes to me even more so.
RED- Stop doing
YELLOW- Slow down and listen
GREEN- GO and DO
BLUE- BLESSINGS
~I have found that green is usually followed by blue~

*Loving What Is
*I Need Your Love: Is that true?
-Byron Katie

Do you want to find complete peace in every circumstance you're in... you'll find it in any of Byron Katie’s books. In my opinion "Loving What Is" is a great start. She is one person I would love to meet, just to be in her presence and feel of her love.

*HANDS-OFF MANAGER
*The Story of You
-Steve Chandler

I love Steve's books because they have given me added courage to look within and rise to a level of "doing" and not just wishing. The Hands-Off Manager book I applied to Parenting and it changed everything as my role of Mother with my children, what a thrill it is to be a STAY AT HOME MOM with this new incite! I truly believe I have the BEST JOB AVAILABLE to women. I had the privilege of going out to lunch with Steve to express my gratitude for his work, it was amazing! Thanks Steve for continuing to share your knowledge with us through great books!
