The 8 Cow Life

We do not have control over what other say or do, but we do always have control over how we show up in the situations we find ourselves in.

Today I talk about the importance of practicing and implementing coming into every situation from a place of love. Is this something you struggle with? Do you know the impact it will have on your life? Come have a listen to why I think you should do it and the effects it will have not only on your life but the lives around you.

PLUS!!! A huge announcement.

We all have things that inconvenience us and annoy us in our lives. Many times we like to play victims and think those inconveniences are caused by others. This week I talk about an inconvenience I dealt with for over 18 months because I thought my husband should take care of the problem.

It wasn't until I finally realized that I could solve my own problem, did I also realize that the I was the one causing the inconvenience - not my husband.

Come have a listen to not only hear how stupid I was for 18 months, but to also hear how you can be sure not to do the same thing in your own life.

Enjoy!

Decisions, decisions, decisions!! They are what we face daily and to some of you, they can be paralyzing.

Today I talk all about the importance of getting out of the land of "I don't know." and making decisions for your life. I talk about how your brain works regarding decisions and how Satan and the Holy Ghost play into the whole process.

Come have a listen and then let me know what you think!

This life we live is fast paced and crazy. At times we need to take a step back and realize that we are not running a race against anyone else. Our life is important and valuable and sometimes that means we need to slow things down, sleep, and take a deep breath.

Come listen to some tips I share after a week of being sick and being forced to slow down. I hope they help you slow down as well and focus on some important self-care.

Enjoy!

One of the key doctrines of the church is that God has not stopped speaking to man and that The Church has an open canon where revelation is on going. This means that God can change things through His appointed prophets to meet the needs of His saints in real time.

Personally, it is how I know this church is true. I know God will not leave me alone in my day and age and will guide me and His prophets so that all I need to know to live the life God wants me to will be revealed to me.

As far as the Church goes, only the prophet, Russel M. Nelson can receive revelation for the Church and he sure has received a lot lately.

Joel and I discuss these changes today and Joel then shares why he believes so many changes are and will continue to happen.

I don't know where this thought process starts, most likely in ones childhood when the frustration of a mother who sees ungrateful children wanting more and more finally snaps and produces an epic lecture on how greedy children are and that they should just be grateful for what they have and not want more.

I have to agree with that mother, and honestly I have been that mother, that all humans - especially children - need more gratitude in their lives. But where I've always gotten it wrong is that I shouldn't want for more. But what if gratitude and wanting more are actually two principles that go hand in hand? What if you are suppose to be grateful AND want more almost in the same breath?

Come listen to today's podcast where I talk about how God Himself has taught us this principle through an act we do everyday. It's one I hope to implement more not only in my own life, but teach to my children as well.

You may think that self confidence is something that people are born with, but really it all comes down to how you view your situations and your ability to change your outcomes.

Come listen to today's podcast where I give you the key to gaining more self confidence and how you can develop this skill if you want. You read that right, it is a skill and that is such great news because it means anyone can develop more self confidence, thus being able to create the outcomes they want in their lives - and that most definitely includes you.

MISTAKES! We all dread them, but they are simply part of being human. Mistakes are how you learn and how you grow, but we tend to make them mean so much more than they really are.

I know God is always forgiving of my mistakes, so you and I both need to make sure we are forgiving of ourselves. In fact, God created a whole plan centered around the very fact that you would make mistakes.

Join me today on the podcast as I discuss some recent mistakes I've made and how I handled them so as to not make them worse than they already were. I teach you how to do the same in all the mistakes that lie in your future.

Have you been thinking of going back to school and furthering your education? Have you wondered what it would be like to become a nurse while still having young kids at home? If you answered yes to either of these questions, make sure you take a listen to this interview with Kristina Thomas.

Kristina decided it was time to go back to school and get her degree in nursing while her kids were still young and at home. She talks about how she and her husband navigated that time, why she did it when she did, and her feelings about doing it now that she is on the other side of it. Kristina also talks about the privileges she has experienced as she has been a nurse and helped her patients not only with their medical needs but their emotional and spiritual ones as well. Kristina is real and I feel gives a great insight into going after your dreams while still juggling a family and all that life has to bring.

Enjoy!
