The whole brave rescue is caught on video and shared across social media. When Ashley finds out, she freaks out and disappears with her young daughter that night. Her…… Continue reading The Wife You Know: Secrets and Lies? (4.5 Stars)

Childhood Flashback: Revisiting the Anne of Green Gables Series
Anyone who knows me well knows that one of my favorite childhood books was Anne of Green Gables. I actually love the entire series. My obsession started when I saw the first two Megan Follows/Jonathan Crombie movies for the first time. I was probably about 6. From then on, Gilbert Blythe became my dream guy.…… Continue reading Childhood Flashback: Revisiting the Anne of Green Gables Series
Am I Self-Confident or Just Looking Down on Others?
A few weeks ago, my sister mentioned this guy who used to be in our YSA ward. That would have been probably about 12 years ago. She mentioned this guy because he has a son who was in my niece’s kindergarten class. My sister said in a sarcastic tone that he was one of my…… Continue reading Am I Self-Confident or Just Looking Down on Others?
Repairing a Broken Heart: Horses and New Love (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading Repairing a Broken Heart by G. L. Robinson. Don’t write off this book as too cheesy based on the title. It’s not nearly as cheesy as it sounds.

These verses have emphasized to me how much He loves us and wants us to succeed. While there are many verses where our Savior’s unconditional love is shown, I’m going to…… Continue reading The Unconditional Love of Our Savior
Wearing White Slippers in My Heavenly Father’s House
Earlier this week, I watched the “Don’t Miss This” podcast, which goes along with “Come Follow Me.” In this podcast, one of the hosts, Grace Freeman, talked about sitting on the front porch of Heavenly Father’s house. That image has stuck with me. Yesterday, I went to the temple as a patron. As I looked…… Continue reading Wearing White Slippers in My Heavenly Father’s House
Kindness and Love Or Allowing Others to Take Advantage of You?
I’ve started this post several times. Then I don’t like the direction it’s going, so I’ll start in another direction, rename it, and try something else. I think perhaps part of the problem is that I do struggle to find that right balance between helping and serving others versus being willing to stand up for…… Continue reading Kindness and Love Or Allowing Others to Take Advantage of You?
