2017 - Focus First on Love.

It's a new year. I love new years ... It's a chance to start over. To make new goals and to move forward with renewed confidence, direction and hope!

365 new days ahead ... (well a few less because we are on day 8 of this year!)

Focus first on LOVE. I read that via the LDS website ... it touched me. My favorite word is love, my favorite action is love. I love love.

Love matters - focus on love and the right things will fall into place.So true!

No matter what goals you have for yourself, focus on love first.

Hello 2017 - Let's fall in love with each new day ...

Light: “Something that illuminates.”

Light signifies hope and new beginnings and a way forward.
I've always loved light fixtures, light bulbs, sunshine, light paint colors and well lit spaces.

All of us have the ability to illuminate - we share light each time we share a smile, a word of encouragement, a kind deed. It's not difficult and the ripple affect is endless.

Have you ever wondered where the ultimate source of light illuminates from? I have.
And I know that the source of all that is good and light comes from our Loving Heavenly Father. His ways are always filled with light, love, peace and hope. Nothing dark originates from Him.

I am thankful for all the beautiful ways His love and light have been poured upon me this year by those who bask in His light and so graciously share it.

Shine on.

Together, we light up the world.

Slow down a little ...

One of my all-time favorite speakers is - Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He is a person full of light. Whenever he speaks, I feel peace, love, guidance and inspiration. I am so thankful for the wonderful people in the world who lift us with their lives filled with service, kindness and light!

Today, slow down a little - and see the things that matter most.
