Time Out For Women - Saturday

So here is the list of things I learned on Saturday.  Hopefully I can share some enlightenment with the rest of you:
  • Mariama Kallon taught us that we should forgive with her powerful reflection on her past coming from war torn Sierra Leone, in which she had seen her parents and sister had been murdered.  She expressed her absolute joy in life and expressed her testimony in regards to the power of prayer.
  • Hillary Weeks was the musical artist for the day and she was witty, entertaining, and has a beautiful voice as well as beautiful songs.  She also explained how we can accomplish anything we think about.
  • Emily Watts had several tips in regards to our habits as follows:
    • Develop thick skin as people will always be judgmental and will not see the big picture.
    • Do your children the honor of allowing them to accomplish hard things as this is the only way we grow as humans.
    • Pick a few well chosen traditions as they will provide stability for your family
    • Treat yourself as a person
    • Work very hard at catching your children doing something right
  • D. Kelly Ogden provided some enlightening things in regards to happiness and in particular he talked about the optimism of the prophets and how they are optimistic because they have a greater view of the big picture.  They realize we are on the winning side.  In the end everything will be alright.
  • Merrilee Boyack talked about Blazing your own trail and using Become gave us a map
    • B - Bold
    • E - Eternally-Minded
    • C - Creative
    • O - Outward-Focus
    • M - Meek
    • E - Enlightened
    • her last thing was a U - Unique
  • Emily Freeman gave me the best message possible and that was that I am Worth it!!!  Actually it was that we are all worth it.
All of the presenters at Time Out For Women were funny and entertaining and I really have not done them any justice in the last two posts, but that is because I really think you should check it out for yourselve.  It really was an amazing experience.

Yours Truly,
KP
