Historic moments
What historic moments do you remember in your lifetime? Isn't it a strange feeling when you know that you are living through some event that you know will change history and go down in history books. From my early childhood I remember when Regan was elected president. I was only four, but I have vivid memories of standing in front of the TV with my parents watching the news coverage and we were all so ecstatic and talking about what we would call him "Mr. Reagan, Mr. President, President Reagan, President Ronald Reagan...etc." The next vivid historical moment for me was watching the Challenger explode on TV. When the Berlin Wall came down everyone was talking about the times we live in. When my first friend was called to serve a mission in Russia. The 2000 election fiasco in Florida. September 11th, 2001. And now, this historical election season, where people are so involved and interested in the political process again. I can't wait for this Tuesday when we will know who our next president will be. It feels like a historic moment to me.

Favorite Quotes
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
-Antoine de Saint-ExuperyWe need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives?
-Kathleen H. Hughes

Verse of the Day
Feb 17, 2011 Moses 6:32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good.
33 Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you.
34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me.
My thoughts: If God could give Enoch power to teach the people He also gives me power to teach my children, I need to remember to rely on that.

Matthew 14
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Helaman 3:21 ...And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
About Me
- Heather
- I am a mother of 5 children under the age of 9. I graduated from BYU with a Linguistics major and Russian and TESL minors. I went to grad school there to get my TESOL certificate and taught English as a second language for a few years until I transitioned to being a full-time mom. My family and I recently moved to Pennsylvania from Utah and we are getting used to living in this new place. My husband is from Ukraine and is enjoying his career designing spinal implants and other medical devices. I really enjoy blogging because it helps me stay in touch with family and friends and is a nice outlet for me to express myself, and reflect on my children's development. I really appreciate and welcome comments to my blog.

Questions that I am looking for answers to
How can I remember to see the best in people and give them the benefit of the doubt, in the moment that I am upset with them? Maybe a better question is how do I stop from getting upset so easily, but also not being apathetic?
How do I become one of those people who is calm and content, and knows just what to say to help others?
How do I become one of those people who is calm and content, and knows just what to say to help others?
Come on, everybody's doing it

It definitely is historic. I just feel a little guilty that we're not really part of it!

I can share my nerdiest one. When Gorbachev visited MN circa 1988 I remember my dad making me stand in my back yard to watch as his plane departed. It didn't occur to me at the time that there may have been other airplanes in the air at the same time...and the only thing I knew about him was that he was "that guy with a purple birthmark on his forehead."
