moments that matter most
take time to stop and notice the needs of others around you. let life slow down so you can enjoy the sweet moments that last forever.

new perspective
everything happens for a reason. i whole heartedly believe in that simple statement. things happen in our lives when we have no idea why. and we may not know for years. all experiences are to teach us a lesson. we cannot progress in this life if we are not learning. learning is hard. it takes humility. sometimes that is the lesson. most of the time that's the lesson that i need to learn. sometimes the lessons we learn are not from something we have done, but what others have done. and sometimes we are on the negative receiving end. those are the worst. but they can be the best because of the great discoveries and self-reflection that occurs during that experience.
i have recently learned to be true to my words, values, and behavior around people. i want to be consistent. i don't want people to feel like i am two-faced. i want to be kind. i want to be a listening ear for those in need.
another lesson i've learned, i can't just rely on my own experiences. i need to turn to greater sources of wisdom. i am so grateful for friends that have inspired, supported, encouraged, and reassured me of my value and potential recently. another reason why everything happens for a reason. i tend to be put in very difficult and emotionally painful situations, but i always find that one or a couple sweet souls that lift me up and i feel that i can confide my problems with.
i love life. i don't know that i can actually say i love everything about life right now. i am carless. i am not dating anyone. i want to be. i am doing awful in my generals classes. i am not getting a ton of sleep. i have recently had my confidence torn down. but i can say that i love learning.
i am grateful for my Savior and my Heavenly Father. i know that they are aware of me and what i am going through. they know how i feel. exactly how i feel. i need to turn to them and the scriptures. no more putting it off. i need to do it. the word of God solves everything!

my summer
remember how i'm awful at updating this.
i've been home from my la internship for a month. i learned so much. and not necessarily at my internship, but in the process of accepting the position and seeing the after math of my decision. this summer has been about me learning how to listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I am so grateful that the Lord knows what's best for me. Seussical, seemed like a perfect opportunity, but i didn't feel right about it. LA internship, seemed very unrealistic, but it felt right. it was very scary turning down the role in Seussical and then accepting the position to go to LA. but looking back, i needed to learn to trust the Lord. and having it be a couple months after those decisions, i still don't know the real reason for what i did, but i know that there was a purpose. and i may not see it for a while.
one great thing about being in LA was being with one of my best friends, dominic pierson! i hadn't seen him in 6 years! we were the best of friends at governor's school in high school. we have shared many tears and many laughs. and many mormon questions. i love him! i am so proud of him! i have complete respect and trust that the Lord is mindful of his heart and what he is capable of. sweetest thing!
