{well except the potty training he hasn't quite caught the vision on that one;)

First off my super talented friend and neighbor Rhonda helped me get my product tags designed and done in minutes. I wanted something simple... something me and came up with SIMPLY ME accessories look how cute these are!! THANK YOU Rhonda and Whitney for making me do the Trade Show I had super fun and made good money and loved seeing so many people and some surprises who showed up:) and now I know I can do it:)

Then last night we went on a drive to the ranch and let the kids run they were so wired and crazy! Bale jumping is there favorite thing to do! Can't believe how big our kids are getting! Excuse our real life slobbyness;) Thats how we roll on lazy sunday afternoons:)

Anyway all week I thought about it starting writing it and prayed really hard to understand it never get to far but had this and that..... after the trade show and kids to bed I totally wrote a new talk and it finally flowed....and its the first time that I got up and didn't turn red and blotchy or faint;) or have my hands shaking so bad...so its nice to know that my calling is at least teaching me to get out of my comfort zone and its okay:) Hopefully those there came away with a resolve to live better happier lives and to realize why we are here...

I just wanted to post the last bit of my talk from yesterday because some of the best quotes I found are there and just a bit to think about in living a better life and realizing that we all make mistakes and that the Atonement is there for us.....This Easter really think about what a gift it is and how blessed we are....and take a couple of minutes to watch the video clip linked above....

One day we will look back at our lives and wonder if we could have been better, made better decisions, or used our time more wisely.

To avoid some of the deepest regrets of life, we need  to make some resolutions today. let us:

Resolve to spend more time with those we love. -Be present

Resolve to strive more earnestly to become the person God wants us to be.• try harder

Resolve to find happiness, regardless of our circumstances.... There is something good in everyday

Many of the deepest regrets of tomorrow can be prevented by following the Savior today. If we have sinned or made mistakes—if we have made choices that we now regret—there is the precious gift of Christ’s Atonement, through which we can be forgiven. We cannot go back in time and change the past, but we can repent. The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret and remove the burden of our sins. His Atonement allows us to leave the past behind and move forward with clean hands, a pure heart,  and a determination to do better and especially to become better.

BUT

"Do not expect to become perfect at once. If you do, you will be disappointed. Be better today than you were yesterday, and be better tomorrow than you are today." Lorenzo Snow

May God help us to be a little kinder showing forth greater forbearance, to walk the second mile, to reach down and lift up those who may have sinned but have brought forth the fruits of repentance, to lay aside old grudges and nuture them no more." 

"Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it's a cinch. Each of us can be true for just one day--and then one more and then one more after that--until we've lived a lifetime guided by the Spirit, a lifetime close to the Lord, a lifetime of good deeds and righteousness."

—Thomas S. Monson

"Remember the Heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes-Dieter F Uchdorf."

"When something bad happens, you have three choices...
you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or
you can let it strengthen you."

So Have a great week Make it count:)
