On My Mind

"We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives. We have to decide what is important and then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something. We have to learn to be content with what we are."


- Marjorie Pay Hinckley


I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately. I love this quote and I've always loved Sister Hinckley. Her attitude was the greatest and she's such an inspiration to me. Thinking about this quote lately has helped me keep things in perspective a little better as I've felt more drab than fab these days. I'm so grateful for the women in my life who inspire me. A big thanks to all of you! Thank you for doing what you do and being who you are. You make a difference in my life each and every day.

That is a good quote. It about sums it up, doesn't it.

I'm gonna keep that in mind :) I feel exactly the same these days. Hey, I got a new phone and I don't have your number anymore. Can you text it to me? Mine is 8013585811 :)

If it makes you feel any better I haven't put on any makeup or fixed my hair in three days and I wore the same clothes for two of those three!

Good quote. We make too many demands on ourselves. We need to slow down and smell the roses.

Wow. great quote. I have really been trying to get there for a while now. Being content. And figuring out the right pace for me and our little family. Gotta love Marjorie. :)

That definitely is a great quote to think about! You can never go wrong with simplifying.
