Originally posted on what was known as the Humans of Calgary Facebook page. You can now read the original post on the Humans of LDS Facebook page. I woke up and tears streamed down my face. No thoughts crossed my mind, I did not have to hear anything, see anything. I woke up and IContinueContinue reading “From the Humans of Calgary FB Page”

How dreary — to be — Somebody!How public — like a Frog —To tell one’s name — the livelong June —To an admiring Bog! Emily Dickinson My first poetry night.

Wasting Time in the Mirror
I walked into our dorm for sports camp and started counting. The bathroom had a wide mirror that covered the wall. Both the closets had mirrors to check faces. There were full length mirrors as well. Squealing, my twelve-year-old self delighted that there were so many reflections. You couldn’t have asked me why I hoppedContinueContinue reading “Wasting Time in the Mirror”
Why I Stopped Writing at the End of 2022
A simple goal. Write weekly, forgive myself if I miss a week, or even two, and keep writing for my blog. By 2022, I had accomplished half-consistently posting at this rate. As a university student, that felt good. If I could continue like that, I could start seriously working on my other goals: grow myContinueContinue reading “Why I Stopped Writing at the End of 2022”
God Guiding the Heart and Mind
This talk was given in a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sacrament meeting on Sunday, June 12, 2022. Good afternoon brothers and sisters. In case you don’t know us, my name is Mandy, and that was my husband, Josh. He’s from Massachusetts; I’m from Nebraska. We both served in the same mission, butContinueContinue reading “God Guiding the Heart and Mind”

In a month or less, I’ve changed my bad days to good days, and the outcome of my days have improved due to a practice I’ve implemented into my nightly routine. I call it “The Nightly Triple Tens.” Before I began doing these triple tens, I looked at life and sometimes felt “meh.” It wasContinueContinue reading “The Nightly Triple Tens”

talent & humility
Ask yourself this: do you really think God would create a talentless creature? With a knowledge of God’s love for you, would you still think of yourself as useless? God had a purpose for each of his creations and He did not let anyone come down to this earth just for the sake of takingContinueContinue reading “talent & humility”
beyond yourself
I wish I knew what to write for you guys. I know so little though. I have searched over a million topics in my mind and none of them seem right. Perhaps, because I feel that I have no control over if any of this matters to you. Perhaps, because I could say all theContinueContinue reading “beyond yourself”
hi there
So, I would love to tell you that I am a cartographer (map maker). I would love to say that I have finally collected the perfect amount of data and have now created the map to light and truth. But I have not created any such miraculous map. Heck, I am not even a cartographer.ContinueContinue reading “hi there”
