A New Chapter in my Life


I've asked Trent for an early Mother's Day gift this year and the following will tell you a little bit about it:

I've officially stepped out of my comfort zone to tackle a new chapter in my life of reaching out to other mothers and I am truly excited to share my news and ideas about it! I've been following this incredible website for the past couple of months that I heard about from my favorite book, "A Mother Book of Secrets" written by Linda Erye and Shawni Pothier. This website was created by the other Erye, Saren and her friend and its been amazing to read and enjoy.

The chapter begins with sending a payment to attend a Power of Mom's Retreat in St George in June for training and just a 2 day experience to be in the presence of other wonderful moms plus I get to meet Linda Erye which I am totally stoked about. She has been such a great role model for me as well as her family! I am just beaming you don't even know how much this means to me to be taught and to soak up information on how I can increase my desires to be a great mother and to pass it on to others in my community!

About 3 months ago our ward has started our own Learning Circle with about 8-9 other mothers living through the trenches! I love every minute I get to be with these girls and I have learned quite a bit in our short time of meeting together once a month for only 2 HOURS! I wish it could go longer but I don't think our families would appreciate it!

So any of you out there please check out their website and find a learning circle in your area and if you don't have one I suggest you start one and get your friends together and learn and grow together. I'm excited about these retreats that they will be offering as well and I will be given the opportunity to organize one in my area! So those of you in my area I can't wait to get this started and to give you more information about it when it comes available!

Wish me Luck!

Way to go Sara! I don't know that I would be brave enough to lead a whole retreat but I would certainly love to attend!! Keep me posted! By the way, I thought you did a great job leading the discussion (its worse than teaching sunbeams the way we, or should I say I, wander off topic!).
