This is inspiration.

Can we just talk about something for a bit. Let's talk about the immense and amazing impact of Mormon Messages. I feel like there isn't one I have watched when I haven't felt the spirit so deeply seep into my very being. My eyes well up with tears, my heart swells, and the Holy Ghost testifies of the truth of the message being received. It is incredible. We study media, and it's effect on babies, children, adolescents, adults... people. There is bad in the world. Yes. There is good in the world. Yes. Where the break up of the two is exactly, I don't know. BUT- I do know that I choose to support the good. It is hard. It really is. There are some shows out there I just want to watch, because I know they are funny, I know they will entertain me, and I know that it will take no effort on my part.

I post this Mormon Message, because I think it is beautiful. I think of my dad, and his love and sacrifice for me. Truly, understanding our fathers and their roles, we will better understand our Father and Heaven and His role in helping us return to him.

    I love the video about fathers! I can't even watch it without crying. I'm so grateful that the church comes up with amazing things like Mormon Messages.

    I love this Mormon Message! I get teary eyed every time I watch it! It is hard to comprehend the love our Heavenly Father has for us but with the example of our fathers we are able to understand a portion of it.

Fence sitter....

I still find myself in this "I'm not really sure about this" state of mind after watching Missrepresentation. Half of me is ready to go on this crusade, and let the world know. The other half of me is like - well whatever, I'll just make sure I don't think like that anymore. Fortunately, for me and others, we have such a powerful resources in finding truth. I am on a personal quest, to find truth in the jumble of information going around in my head. There have been very few times in my life where my personal thinking has been challenged to such an extent.  I also feel that there is a very specific dilemma added to LDS women. I am not the only one who has had these thoughts and concerns? Why am I getting a degree? What are my motivations? If these have never been questions in your mind girls... Ask them. Challenge your motivations. Make sure you are doing what you want to do. I am in no way becoming a fanatical feminist. I am not promoting that every women sh...

#notbuyingit

The documentary we are watching in class is fantastic. I truly believe that women are misrepresented in media and in life. I, however, find myself having a hard time placing myself somewhere to stand on this spectrum. What is it I believe a women should/could/ought to do? I went on the missreprestation website. Pretty cool. They have a clever campaign of #notbuyingit. They encourage people to, when they see adds that are straight up wrong, label it with the hashtag. I really like this, because now it is a thought. Every time I see something of women in the media, and I am like "Hey, that's not real." I can label it. Not only for everyone, but mostly for myself. I find that I am very much wrapped up in what I look like. I have completely bought into the idea that I am only as powerful as I am good looking. I remember talking to my dad about future careers. He asked me what my dream job would be. I said, "a Sports Analyst." He told me I should go for it. I r...

Talk Negative to Me

“You are totally out of your league. You gotta leave, now!” This is what was playing in my head as soon as I watched the other ladies hit. I had agreed to go play volleyball with my friend. Neither of us knew what we were going to find when we got to Bear Lake gym. Well, we found players - like - playa players. The voice just continued playing over and over as my body got tight, my heart beat fast, and I began to squirm inside. “You aren’t good enough. Did you see that set? You can’t set like that. Wowzer. That was an insane angle. You can’t hit like that. They must have all played college, for sure. You didn’t even play in high school. Oh, they are using all that fancy volleyball lingo. Do you even know what she just said?” Panic. Now, lucky for me, I was well into my current reading selection, a sports psychology book. And, fortunately I had just finished the chapter on negative self talk right before I left for this sporting excursion. In “This is Your Brain on ...
