Just wanted to say thanks to my mom and dad (and to my husband Ryan for thinking of it!) for getting me a new microphone to record my music!!!!!! I'm so excited. I can't wait to use it. It can do so many cool things that I never dreamed of!! Thanks so much!! Now that I am almost over my cold and I have a new mic - look out for lots of new music coming soon! Yea!!!

A Sad Time In US Histroy
I was reading the paper this morning about the shooting in Connecticut and crying. I do not understand why someone would do such a horrible thing. I am grateful for the Plan of Salvation and that God saves all children -that all those who were hewn down by evil are now in God's arms, but I am so sad for those that are left behind to mourn them. Know that we cry with you and our prayers are for you, that your hearts may be healed and comforted at this time of great loss. It is a day beyond words when parents must burry their children.
A scripture comes to mind at this time: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matthew 24:22 KJV
I pray that these days may be shortened and that the Second Coming will come soon. The signs of the times are so rampant and it breaks my heart to hear of so much heartache and pain. I am sorry for your loss.

Positive Thinking
Hilary Weeks came and did a fireside in Lehi earlier this year for the youth. I wasn't able to go, but one of the other women in Young Women's picked up an extra handout for me. From what I heard, Hillary Weeks talked about the power of positive thinking. She gave out a handout called "The Power of Our Thoughts." Its also one of the things that I have posted in my shower and that I read or listen to daily. (I recorded all the thoughts I have on my shower because with a busy toddler sometimes it's easier to listen to them while we play.) Anyway, I absolutely love it. So if you have a chance to go to one of Hillary Weeks' firesides - do it. I know I will the next time there is one in our area.
The Power of Our Thoughts
Our thoughts affect our mood.
Our thoughts affect our health.
Our thoughts affect what we believe.
Our thoughts affect what we will accomplish.
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." -Henry David Thoreau
"To a great extent we accomplish what we think about. Your thoughts, more than anything else, will be the determining factor in what you accomplish during your life." - Grant Von Harrison
"We don't always get to choose our thoughts, but we do get to control them."
"We become what we want to be, by consistently being what we want to become."
"Thought and character are one." - James Allen
"The greatest mystery a man ever learned, is how to control the human mind, and bring every faculty and power of the same in subjection to Jesus Christ. That is the greatest mystery we have to learn while in these tabernacles of clay." - Brigham Young
"Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not." - D&C 6:36
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are hones, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things," - Philippians 4:8
"...Let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly..." - D&C 121:45
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."
- Proverbs 23:7
Thank you, Hillary, for sharing such amazing quotes. They have changed my life and the way I think. Thanks for listening to the Spirit.
