brief posts on facebook.

Then a final review on my

Goodreads account...

join me on facebook if you are in...

competition...motivation...inspiration...?

i want to read the Bible in a year!

Old and New Testiment.

King James Version.

Anyone else want to join?

For motivation? for competition?

we can reward ourselves at the end?

I want to speed read it

My sis-in-law will read it with a student manual

read it however you want!

Any other ideas?

I was thinking Sept. 11, 2010- Sept. 11, 2011

excellence...

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.

Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
-Micheal J. Fox

...it occurred to me after reading this quote, that in Church the Young Woman celebrate Personal Progress goals they have achieved or are working towards in an event called:

Young Women in Excellence.

Not Young Women in Perfection.

I hope that...instead of trying to make my daughters be Perfect...

I can teach my daughters to reach for Excellence
in all they do in this life.

personality...

...she's got it!

competition

...so I taught a Sunday School lesson about the Book of Mormon, and challenged everyone to re-read it like President Hinckley did a few years back...and I took the challenge myself...with a little help from hubby. he set us up a little competition. he gave us about two months to re-read it and for a reward we would go out to dinner. if one of us did NOT read it by that time, they had to bring a PB&J to dinner and watch the other enjoy their meal!

...well, we did it! I got about half way through the 530 some pages with two days left and sped-read the rest in two days...awesome! I do believe it's a true book... in my "GoodReads" (see link on side) you can read more of my thoughts on reading it this time around...

but there is something to reading an informational book all the way through in a short amount of time...

I might just start with the Bible (King James Version) next...from Old Testament through New to the end...what an adventure this would be!

the power of moms...

...here I am once again promoting a cause I can believe in: the power of moms and supporting a mom who is doing her best to promote the cause as well. click here for her link. One idea I just got from her site was the "say yes" challenge, how often can you tell your kids yes and see what happens...or...if you want peace in the home...get laryngitis...haha, so true!!

events...

...remembering...

...and first break...
