Speedo!

how do you feel about speedos? Jokes im not gonna talk about speedos...but have you ever just been so busy in life that one day when youre finally sitting down doing nothing you realise that life has sped so fast ?! well that happened to me today. like 5minutes ago!! so ok here you are in the womb and mom has mixed feelings about you ( they dont say it but they feel it) They love to death! and they love feeling you inside them and having excuses to eat just a lil more but at the same time you are hurting them!! youre taking lots of place in her and she kinda wants you to hurry up and grow so you can get out of her, but then she regrets that when that moment come and wishes she still had time to keep you inside but there you pushing your way out to see what kind of world is waiting for you after the womb! and of couse after youre out she loves you even more so really she loved you all along. but anyway back to the point. so then you grow up even faster and you want to keep growing and getting older so you can do big kid things. then junior high and high school speeds right through and there you are at your own ceremony trying to remember what you learned all these years. well then all the sudden summer is over...what the heck? what happened to all those all nighers and long parties?! you purposely partied everyday to keep it in and live the best summer of your life and all the sudden its time to grow up? well half of us go to school or the other half work until you know what you want to do. ok so now its Christmas!? What in the WORLD! how did that come? you know what its still august in my head for some reason. I work everyday (pretty much) and go to bed early and getup early to work out and go to work again. I barely have a social life right now and sooner or later itll be september and ill have no social life because I'll be in school for two years working as hard as i can. .. but you guys something scarier is going to happen... in 6months im going to be 19?! WHAT THE HECK! after 19 comes 20, then 21, then 22!! then 48! then 79!! then 83! then 94! why does life go by so fast!! i swear theres a number in between 18 and 19...it seems like its a big jump, at least for me it does. so to wrap this up here are my mottos you guy. We already grow old so why grow up?! Lets all remember to have fun and laugh during the work because there is NEVER time after the work is done.  Lets always live every moment and never live in the future or the past. Lets forget the bad memories and always make new ones. Done always hope for something better or something that will happen, just live and enjoy what you have for now. beautiful things will happen in the future for sure and disasters will too but hey enjoy what you have before it leaves.
Just love <3

spirit

Its funny how the spirit works during sacrament meeting. Here you are sitting on your hard seat (or if youre lucky then you got the comfy ones) just waiting patiently for sacrament to be over and listening attentively the people's testimonies so you can learn something new and refil your spirit with the Lords. All the sudden your heart starts to pound. so you sit in your seat a little nervous but still trying to listen to the testimonies. Wow youre really starting to feel the spirit so you hand start to shake and you have your heart pounding. uh oh the person just finished bearing their testimonies and all the sudden youre standing and walking to the pulpet?... well theres no backing out now!! if you turn around and sit down youll look like the biggest idiot there!! So you keep walking and Boom there you are standing in front of everyone. well now you totally forgot what to say, youre standing in front of everyone with nothing to say so you try to feel the spirit you had earlier and all the sudden youre saying things without even planning it. The Lord is speaking through you with things that you already knew but sometimes are realising it while saying it. Maybe you'll start to cry or have teary eyes or laugh and smile of joy. Its funny how the spirit works. well at least this is how it works sometimes

stalkers slash creeps.

Ok you guys...I have creeps and stalkers AGAIN! wow, how good is my luck... I cant get a gorgeous, nice, straight guy to like me, instead I get the Hot jerks or the Creepy stalkers slash obsessers...
1. There's this guy thats like what i dont know ten years older than me I think and he's totally ALWAYS on the lookout to find me...im not kidding. And when he finds me (let me tell you) he does  NOT let me go...He says the same thing over and over again like on sunday he kept complimenting me on my shoes...not twice or three times...SEVEN FREAKIN TIMES...ok boy enough is enough dont you think? i know you like my shoes...but i dont think thats what you are trying to say... k heres a tip...if you like a girl, make conversation and DONT REPEAT. oh ya thats not it. he keeps following me, trying to get close to me. Tip #2. when a girl keeps moving away, it is not an invitation to move closer...it means leave me alone, youre creeping me out or leave me alone im not interested. tip #3. if she doesnt look at you while talking to you and making small talk...walk away and stop coming back to talk to her, she is NOT interested. its that simple. youre creeping her out or annoying her. so back to my story now. i went to this dance on friday and he showed up to following me everywhere and then here comes a slow song...im avoiding him... BOOM he found me...asks me to dance...i dont want to and usually im pretty nice and i never no...but i couldnt. I cant give him the wrong idea because it takes almost nothing to give him the wrong idea and i dont want him close to me. well the last dance he catches me while i was talking to someone, trying to avoid him and trying to dance with my friend when he interupts me and asks me to dance...DUDE IM ALREADY DANCING!! this is not a movie and you are not the love of my life. and then when the song is over, you know i let go and walk away while he follows me... i try to walk away and talk to other ppl, nope hes still following me talking to me... what the heck is wrong with him? he does not understand vibes very well. then I finally ignore him (im sorry i know this osunds rude but it got to point that was really akward) and well you know what he did? I quote "ok well it was nice thank you myriam!...Thanks myriam!... ok bye myriam!...myriam! MYRIAM!! BYE MYRIAM!!! OK MYRAIM BY IM LEAVING!! BY MYRIAM!!" "ok bye!" ok BOY i heard the first time... He loves me, he somehow knows everything about me...while i dont even know his name... he finds me EVERYTIME... yes i think that qualifies for a stalker.
2. He is totally new here in the ward and in front of everyone, randomly, asks my name . so i tell him Blah blah blah. then he asks me where im from...so i tell him... he then asks me out...in front of everyone...ya did i mention in front of everyone? well what am i supposed to say? "actually no i cant, im not interested i kinda have my heart set on someone else" no thats rude and im starting to feel that the guy i supposidly like doesnt like me back so Im starting to lose hope so i cant use that line because im contradicting myself. so i tell him yes. i give him my number because hes asking in front of everyone... oh surprise surprise he called me FIVE times yesterday... in less than 4hrs... oooookayyyy... thats a little but obsessive... oh and when i go home to check my facebook he found me? oh and wrote me a message... ok boy...no back off please. you seem really nice but you just ruined it for me... tip #4. yes its nice to chase a girl and let her know you like her...but let her chase you too...we like it too.
3. random 35 year old?? wont stop talking to me...telling me im beautiful...telling me i have beautiful eyes...telling me i should be a model...telling me i have a beautiful accent...telling me he wants to travel with me....telling me he will pay for eveything i need...telling me that he wants to be my boyfriend....telling me that he really thinks that he should be #1 in my heart...tip#5. compliments are GREAT but dont over do it... Cheesyness is funny....but dont over do it and dont be serious when doing it! Geeze Guys! take it easy!! Dont jump in it!!
Theyre sufficating me...i am so sick of guys right now that I dont even know how i feel about the guy i like... I dont even know if i should even like him because i actually dont know how he freakin feels about me!! Heck i can get any guy BUT the one i possibly would like. this is messed up and i am not at all enjoying this. If i get another guy this week i just might explode.

Well its just that time for me to hibernate...goodnight and see ya soon

aloha

Hello :)
well let me tell you about my day how about.
So.
I woke up totally unmotivated this morning and really wanted to stay in bed but non the less i got up (or more down the ladder) and got ready for the day...sorta. I got dressed, ate and headed straight to the car. then i did my make-up and today for some reason was so hard to do it because it was so BUMPY in the CAR ugh it drove me insane lol. then after Roxanne went to work i headed to my dads work and watched him teach little kindergardners french :) oh my it was the cutest thing!! It made me excited for when I will have kids of my own :) then it ws 11:54 all the sudden and this ment i needed to leave so I could make my way to Cosco! yes fellow bloggers i had an interview!! and I took a test! and guess what !! i scored 93% on the test!! YAHOO! thank you, thank you, thank you very much! so then I went to pick my lovely cousin Maddie and we went to Moddest is Hottest (follow them on Facebook! theyve got cuuuuute clothes!!) and then I dropped her off at her school and went back to my dads work and just watched him again teach. He's quite the man my father. and then I just went home. So now here I am at home writting... but for some reason i am feeling super duper dizzy. Maybe im over-tired but i cant go to sleep just yet!! 1 its 8:10 and 2 i need to go to my friends surprise party i am trying to plan but NOONE is communicating!! wish me luck.

bored one night

once apon a time i was bored one night and didnt want to go out so i sat there in my kitchen writting random poems that dont make sense? haha here they are.

i really dont like dried dates but we could have a debate. see the thing with a mate is that he never will date because hes never been to NATE. he could create a fear of hate and it just is fate but thats because he actually never ate. theres the gate.

the water is clear, wonderful and near, it makes me wanna throw a sphere because of my fear. The dear didnt drink beer, because he forgot his gear but you might consider me queer all for a tear. look out for the frontier!

hola Senirito. pass the Dorito. could i have a Borito? Mucho. I love to play Yoyo. but hate to see Frodo. this is a big No-No considering he doesnt have a Fro. finally i want a Beau and perhaps a Bow too, well see which one will Go and live life from that moment on Yo.

what is the time? i heard it has a chyme but my mom said it was just a mime. what happened to the dime that was sitting in the lime? does that even rhyme? thats not a crime thats sublime! have you ever seen slime? you can see it when you climb up top through the clime.



haha i know none of these even make sense, but it was so much fun writting them pahaha goodnight

Venting

Today im missing my good friend a lot. i know this is poor english but im tired and want to go to sleep but i wanted to blog before i do so. Let me share some memories and my opinion. I get little flash backs sometimes during the day and night about what he said or did. I keep remembering that he sang me a song on the last night we were together and it was pretty cute, he told me "its a love song myriam" lol its called Brand New Colony by Postal Service. Listen to the acoustic version, i prefer that one, and he played it acoustic.
I also remember when he jokingly proposed to me. It was completely random but cute. He has been staring at me for about 5minutes in the car and just randomly said "Myriam, will you marry me?" of course I was shocked and so confused so I said "of course not im 18! why would you want to marry me?" and he smiled at me saying "because i want our kids to know french" woah our kids? now i was even more confused haha but i looked at him and i said, "alright , lets give it a shot, lets get married when you come back" but that just made him more excited so cute. I ended up teaching him french for 5hrs ... this is not an exaggeration haha. i taught him how to say "get in the car, get out the car, i love you, i hate you, please, im just kidding, thank you, why and because" haha. Then couple weeks after, thinking he totally forgot about that night he was talking to our good friend Reid and was talking to him about OUR kids... then he looks at me and tells Reid to wait and walks over to me and asks me in a whispering tone " can Reid be the Godfather of our kids?" hahaha i couldnt believe it, he actually remembered so of course i laughed and said "of course! haha".
On time i went to his house with Reid, again (im used to always be with him :) hes great i love him to death) but our ride never got to his house, so we stuck at his house! it wasnt bad at all considering we both love him. so i sat there listening to those two clowns singing and playing the guitar like true musicians, theyre great. the it was 11pm! the mom was tired so we went downstairs for family prayer... which then became a fmaily hug...including reid and i...uh oh...my ring got caught in his moms sweater!! so i couldnt let go of her! hahaha it was so embrassing because the dad was in between the mom and i so it looked like i didnt want to let go of them and have a longer hug...oh my hahahaha was i embarassed. and then he wanted to go to sleep so he asked me to sing him a song and tell him a bed time story lol so i did. he was so adorable, paying complete attention and just looking straight at me. hes a keeper.
so this one might not even mean anything to oyu but i keep thinking about it for some reason, its really a simple story. one time we were climbing building with some of my friends, and if you know me then you know that i am scared of hights unless there is a ladder attached to the building, in which in this case there isnt. so here we are all on that building, i think someone boosted me up there, obviously i wasnt thinking on how i would get down. anywho after being up there for about 5 minutes everyone decided to get down and jump... ohhhhhh there was no way that i was going to jump!!!! or even get down gently!! i was terrified and there was noone else there with me...in the dark...somewhere i was not used to... so here i am calling for my friends to come help me down (i know i sound childish but still) and noone was coming! what kind of friend did i have?! all the sudden hes coming, kinda running toward the building telling me to jump. he said he was going to catch me...ya right!! so of course i told him i was not going to jump!! i was way to scared. you wanna know what he did? he said "ok dont move i'm coming up there and helping you down!" i was even more scared!! thinking he was going to throw me down!! but no he got up there, told me everything was going to be alright and he just sat there behind/ by me. he told me the plan and gave me all the perpectives and views. so he held me and gently put me down, while nikora was there to hold me down aswell, but from the bottom. alright now THAT is a real friend. trying to feel how i feel and fixing the situation. I love him for that moment. it was seemed like nothing to everyone else, but to me i knew someone cared.
well this is it for tonight, plus considering noone is actually reading this. goodnight my imaginary bloggers. until next time.

My day?

Ok let me tell you all the GORY details of my day yesterday. So it was Friday morning, I woke up at 8:30 but then slept till 9am and woke up scared to death thinking  I woke up to late...which i did... so I had to brush my teeth, put on marscara and pee at the same time. it was lovely. then put some pants and a shirt and SLICK my hair back at the same time as well. Yes I was a doll yesterday ;) JOKES haha. So then I get my sister and we leave for work because she had to start before I did. I stayed at her work till Noon, reading a great book! It's about healing ourselves, and its the Authors story because he was blind. It's really good and I love reading it. anyway so then its noon and I was sick and tired of being at her work so I left and went to my work. I sat there at the mall on the couches and just watched people. Some people were funny like I saw an older lady walk towards me with a smile so I said hello and she said "You look mighty comfortable there on that couch!" haha I was! on the other hand some people gave me the BAD look and some walked right on me!!! rude i know!! like can't they see me?? on the couch?? of course they could see me they looked straight at me lol. Ok now comes the weird part of my day.... EW you guys!!! I saw...a lady...give her boyfriend...a handjob!!! EWWW! At the MALL!...STANDING UP!! WALKING!! I know this is disgusting.... I was quite disgusted myself lol. All the sudden it is 1oclock so I go to work and when I walk-in my work buddies are stapling their foreheads...and arms...and hands... weird i know. haha anywho my day was so busy at work that time sped through SO FAST and all the sudden it was 5pm and my shift was over. so I go to my sisters work Yet Again. Then my friend comes and picks me up and we go to his house and eat a good sandwich and just talk for couple hours. it was actually pretty fun! oh he has a fish tank! I LOVE FISH TANKS WITH FISHIES IN IT AND SEA CREATURES . so we named them...well i did, he didnt really care haha. and then i went home and just went to bed. What a lovely day that was. It's funny because my day was so busy that it made me miss my good friend Weston. What a great guy he is. If you know him then you totally know what I mean, if not then I'm sorry you never got the chance to meet him. He has a good spirit and when he comes home you need to meet him! he's tons of fun. Good night world xx

Christmas

Ok first of all while reading this, listen to this song :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHDfwVhI9jw&feature=related

Ok Christmas...Wow what a beautiful Holiday!! Mistletoes, cuddling, warm heavy blankets, warm fire, good smellin home, food everywhere, and best of all your love ones all around together having nothing to complain about. We all have our reasons to celebrate Christmas, and we all have our traditions. It's time to go play outside all day in the snow, snowboarding, sledding or just simple snow angels and caves. It's that time of year that you can get away by doing nothing and just reading books for hours, comfortably, comtemplating. It's that time that it's ok to hibernate and wake up so relaxed. You wake up in the morning, so cozy and warm in your bed, you wouldnt complain am i right? It's time to get up, as you slowly take the covers off you, you feel a gentle but fearce breeze but all is well because youll just put a sweater and slippers to replace your blanket, or most of the time you walk around with your blanket still! You still have that smile across your face, the excitment in your heart, and the songs stuck in your head haha. There's no reason to be unhappy at that time of year... except for one thing. Who are you spending it with? It is your family? your friends? your love?? or all the above perhaps?! As you grew up you always spend it with family! everyone united perhaps or it was kept simple with only your siblings and parents. As you grow up you want to include your friends so plan a day or few hours to see them and giggle and laugh and eat all you can before its over. But then something changes...people fall in love...either youre the one that fell in love and got lucky and had the other fall in love with you too. Ah it cant get better hey?! You got all you need!! but what if your not that person...what youve been wanting someone to spend it with but havent had the luck or the time to find him/her. This year it will be different for me... My sister is now married and has her eternal love. My brother will have his girlfriend with him at all times also...my parents of course still have eachother after 25 beautiful years....It leaves Roxanne and I. Jokes lets be real there is always multiple guys after Roxanne so she will get the attention she is wanting...but what about me? Ive been ok all these years because i happen to love being Cupid and joining people together...but right now I would love to have someone to have, for once i would love a chance. Dont get me wrong I am not rushing things or pushing or forcing anything, im just saying maybe its time to give this girl a chance to love. :) Well see what happens yall. time will only tell

Giving Thanks

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone! So I thought I would do an old fashion tradition I guess we could call that...so all this post is going to be about is what I'm thankful for.
I am grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am grateful the love he freely gives me and the family and friends that are here with me in spirit and physically. I am grateful for the truth and knowing the difference. I am grateful for food and shelter and loving parents who has taught me with dilligence and patience. I am grateful for music and instruments and vocals and computers and machines. I am grateful for my best friends who stand up with me and are able to talk to me. I am grateful for cheesy moments and romantic ones. I am grateful for hard moments and trials because they make me stronger. I am grateful for missionaries, Joseph Smith, Jesus Christ, God and everyone else who has dedicated their lives for us to give us a chance to do good and to return home, because without them I would be lost. I am grateful for random moments and little waves and smiles in the streets from strangers. I am grateful for cars and bikes. I am grateful for licorice, chocolates, cakes, cheese, pizza and poutine and all the food becasue they let us feel good about ourselves. Road trips because it gives us a break from the world, the snow it gives us pleasure, the sun because it gives us energy and courage, strength and warmth, the moon becasue it make us calm, the stars because they make us think, the grass because we can just lay there and chill, dandilions bacuse they give us a chance for hope and dreams. I am grateful for the country in which we live in that keeps us free and i hope the world will become friend instead of enemies as it always has been. I think its about time that we all become friends. i am grateful for every little detail that God has given us. Thank you.

A step back to refresh my mind.

Let me share beautiful moments about some of my very best friends. I have many and sadly probably wont have enough time to talk about everyone deeply but here are some of them.

Weston: He is currently serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has a passion for life and for music. He takes time in what he does and thinks it through before he pulls a move onto something. He absolutely loves music and has a beautiful talent. I find him goofy but deep. Before he left, we had a short conversation in his car and I saw something in him that I never saw before in the years that we've known eachother. He had something in his eyes that I wish we had more time so I could figure out what it was. It was so calm and reasuring. So deep and caring. Well I guess I'll find out in two years. I hope he is doing great and I'm sure he's blessing the lives of others as we speak. I love him.

Brenden: Bee, Beatrice, Liam, Berdern haha. He is so funny! I can trust him with anything. He knows the gospel is true and he wants to do the best to succeed and to return faithfully to our Father in Heaven when the time comes. He, also, loves music with a passion. He loves to dance!! oh man does he love to dance :) We have deep conversations about the church and about our opinions on specific things. I know I am trust him. He has such a strong spirit that I will miss during his two years of service for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He leaves in 29 days... I love him.

Christine: Cheerio!!!!! Ah I absolutely LOVE this woman :D She is soo funny and so extremely lucky!! She has met David Archuleta THREE times...and she is going to meet him personally this christmas!! Wow this is better than luck... but don't give me wrong...she is not those creepy stalkers that LOVE David...she honestly and sincerely cares for him and I hope they will come closer to eachotehr and get to know their real selves. She is GREAT and she is gorgeous. I love being with her and I love her.

Ivy: I miss her. She left to wherever she went (I cant seem to remember where) but hopefully she will be back. We love the cats. :) and we are silly together, but we are able to be ourselves together, because once together we dont have a care in the world about what people think about us. We are crazy...We are true. haha I love her.

Hannah: She is my Peaches. She is crazy and full of life. You can scream all you want and everything will be okay haha She will be the BEST hairdresser in the whole wide world, so World...Look out here she comes! I love her.

Reid! Oh he is my Fruitloop. How I absolutely and sincerely LOVE HIM! He knows me and I know him. I trust him and he trusts me. We can do anything together and everything will be alright. We used to talk ALL throught the night...LITERALLY. I miss those moments and I'm looking forward to having them soon :) I love him.

Taylor: Kneehomie. At first he hated me because I was scaring him haha I just really wanted to get to konw him! haha but now we are Best friends :) and all is well. He is amazing and so cute. I love him! :)

Meg: Unis...Olga... Mergern...haha She is a special spirit she is. She always wants to do good and something crazy, She cant help it, shes got adventure in her blood! haha I love her and She might not even know it but I love her just the same!

Holly: holes, Rose, RoseyCheeks, we used to be better best friends about a year ago and idk what happened but she is still in my heart and we are slowly coming back to eachother :) she is hilarious. She thinks im funny which is nice because she acknowledges me...so thats always nice. I love hanging out with her and randomly making a dance out of our hideous dance moves :) or when we drive in the car and blast the music and sing offtune on purpose just to have a good time...and when we compose our own rap lyrics on top of the track hahaha man good times...i love her

Change of plans.

I dropped out of University. Okay before assuming hear me out. I didn't drop out because it was hard. I didn't drop out because it was long or boring or anything like that. ... I dropped out because it isn't what I want. I want to take care of old people I guess. Of course I'm still not to sure but I did it and I will be working this year to pay for next year. I'm quite excited actually.

Goals in life or as you may call it a Bucket-list

These are in no specific order by the way.

1. I would love to talk to a train driver and get his persmission to ride in an open wagon all night with a friend with me. We would go at around 9pm in summer perhaps and ride ALL night, so we would get our blankets, pillows, treats and ourselves. I think that would be so fabulous and a good break from everything else. We would have good talks, lots of laughs, we would have time to tell our deepest secrets and stupidest moments and just have a good one on one moment. Maybe one day this will happen and I will bring my good friend along.
2. I want to spend Christmas in Alaska or in the North. I hear there is this hotel made of ice, so it's and Igloo and there is no electricity, no heat nothing but such a great experience that I would love to have. I talked to my dad about it and he is willing but not without mom so we are trying to convince her to come and try it out. Hopefully I will be able to in the future, one day.
3. I want to buy the old Mental home in Raymond and start an orphanage. I would travel the world and bring children from 3rd world country, homeless or even from here of course, and help them here. I would provide an education for them since I will be done in five years time and will be able to teach, so why not children with no family? I know it sounds crazy and unlogical, but once I figure out how and when and all the other questions you might be wondering, I think I will make it happen.
4. I want to become a designer. I have always loved desinging clothing and as a matter of fact I created my grad dress. So during my spare time or maybe one day full time, I want to make different kind of clothes. You've heard of Moddest is Hottest right? Well I would love to do something like that but with weird clothes, clothes that you look at and wonder what the purpose is, but once you put it on properly it looks sweet. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense but that is another unfinished idea.
5. I want to learn Polish, Spanish, German, Russian, couple African ones, some island ones as well and Italian.
6. I want to drive a plane. Now okay you might think I crossed the line, but hear me out. You know the one or two people ones that go super fast and are used in the war? Those ones. I would love to drive Xspeed and so fast that i can breathe and just twirl in the air. Why? I'm not sure, maybe for the adrenaline? Or maybe because it's different and out of my comfort zone, you see I am absolutely and definiltely scared, or shall we say terrified, of heights.
7. Fall in love. (the marry in the Temple) Okay you might say this one is simple but no, not for me. I secretly have trouble finding people I like more than a friend. If you know me you might say that's not true since I am always talking about boys, but not romantically if you really think about it. Yes I think they are cute, or attractive or drop dead GORGEOUS and yes I like some of their qualities, which is totally normal...but it is hard for me to really like someone because I am always doing something else, which is okay since I am young. But in the future, I am excited to fall in love, although scared.
8. Meet CĂ©line Dion. Yes I love her and I am not ashamed. She has an AMAZING voice and you know what? I want her to teach me how to sing.
9. Be in Theraputic Recreation. I would rather do that then a teacher, and right now I really think I am going to switch programs... I am really nervous about what to do but I think this is the right thing to do. We'll see.
10. Buy a female pig and name her Walter, a kitty Cookie and a hideous dog Sushi.
11. Save a life.
12. Serve an LDS mission.
13. Pull an actual All Nighter and actually do something during those two days.

The list will continue as life moves forward.

Empty room

I need to find what I really love. I mean I know what's what but I can't say I know what I would love to do. Yes I want to be a teacher, that I know, but what kind of teacher?? I dont know... I thought I liked math but I dont love it...and I dont really want to be teaching math for the rest of my life. I love art and music but I wouldnt feel confortable teaching that to younger people... I dont know why but I wouldnt really want to do that because for me when I sing or play music or make art it's either for me and myself only to relieve stress or pain or to help people. My dream is to travel and to go into different societies and help them with their lands or teach them languages but he's the problem. I am broke and I dont think i would qualify to teach a language. I want to see the world. I want to learn of others cultures. I want to learn their languages and exchange something to them, give them something that means a lot to me... but i dont know quite yet what and how. But something I know that I've realised that I love is people. I love the old. I love the young. I love kids. I love meeting people and getting to know them inside and out. What I would love to do, betweeen you and me, is i would love to travel and write. I know my sentence structure is off and I know I'm not the best at writting but I love it.  Maybe one day I will.

A reminder

So I have this lovely friend that is biking from home(Cardson, AB) to Mexico... yes bloggers you heard right, isn't this great?! He has some sort of blog too and well he was talking about his family, describing each and everyone of them so gently. It reminded me that family is oh so very important! It gave me chills and almost made me cry when I read about his family, it was so beautiful. So I would like to take the time and talk about my family too and follow his example.
Daddy: Eric, or I call him Papou. He is a School teacher and is honestly such a funny man. He always finds the humor or makes a joke in everything, and I mean everything. He is a happy man full of life. He is still learning english and I love teaching him one word at time, he is seriously so cute :)The kids love him and the wife loves him, everyone loves this amazing priestood holder. He is my hero.
Mother: Isabelle. She is such a smart WOMAN! She knows every word on this planet in english and french and knows who she is! She is so strong in the church and has been my inspiration ever since I came out of her WOMB. All my friends love her. She is a strong woman and is continually helping me. She is usually always there for me and knows EVERYTHING about me. I love her, and I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't.
Brother: Yohan! Man I love this man! We did not get along when we were little, and actually almost always fought. It wasn't till later in life, as in 2christmas' ago, that I realised that it was because we are so much alike. I rememeber when I was little, everytime I succeeded in something, he had to be the first one and hoped he would be so proud of me! I remember coming home from kindergarden one day, running as fast as my little chubby legs could run and swung open the door yelling his name! I remember his face :) he was so happy that I could tie my own SHOES! But you all know how big brothers can get...when I was four years old I woke up rather late and felt so tired and weird but didn't think anything of it so I continued and walked towards the kitchen for some good breakfast as my brother whips around and says as loud as he could MYRIAM! WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR FACE! Yes I had chicken pox and all he could do was mock me. I truly had fun with him though. He always came up with the coolest games and made everything look so simple. He now has an amazing little man and I absolutely love him.
Sister:Naomi. She is graceful. She is love. She is crazy too though! haha she can turn anything into a party, let me you! She is so patient and caring. She's the one that stayed and sat with me while I read my first book. She used to help me read at night and sometimes accidently called her mom! haha man i still do sometimes lol. Oh I almost forgot...Shes Getting Married!! Yes she is :) and then fiancé is such a charm! He's a gem , he really is and I already love him! They are perfect together and it was actually love at first sight! Isn't that romantic :)
Twin: My Wax-off, My Foxy Socks, Roxanne, or my other half. We have spooned together for 9 months once! NON-STOP! Haha so she's my twin...and she is fabulous! She is different than all the other people I know, of course because we are all different, but she has this cute spirit. She does things at her own pace and own time, no matter what...not matter if we're late too! Sometimes it drives me nuts but she is continually teaching me patience! I absolutely love her. She has a passion for life, and will not be rushed.
So there it is focks. This is my family and I treasure them with all my heart. Family is one of the things you get to keep once you die and I will keep mine forever. I love them.

A little step at a time

At church today a song was sung by the congregation and for the first time it caught my attention. I have heard this song over and over again my whole life but it wasn't till today that I realised how amazing it truly is. It's called Be Thou Humble, Page 130 of the LDS Hymn book, here's how it goes...
Be thou humble in thy weekness, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee, Shall lead thee by the hand and give thee answer to thy prayers.  Be thou humble in thy pleading, and the Lord thy God shall bless thee, Shall bless thee with a sweet and calm assurance that he cares!
Be thou humble in thy calling, and the Lord thy God shall teach thee to serve his children gladly with a pure and gentle love. Be thou humble in thy in thy longing, and the Lord thy God shall take thee, shall take thee home at last to ever dwell with him above.
Isn't it amazingly uplifting? That's the key of happiness... Service. He's telling us to serve and everything will be alright. He's right there beside us whether we are able to see or not. He loves us and cares for us, He wants us to return to Him so He is willing to help us even if we don't want the help so here's the question...If He is willing to help us because He loves us and cares for us why would we not want to help our fellow man? Why would we not care for those that He truly loves? We need to be reminded that we need eachother, we need to help eachother. We need to built trust in eachother and overcome this nature of man. We need to rememember what the big picture is and obtain the gifts he is trying to give us. I love this gospel and am proud to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so grateful for the Atonement and the chances He gives us to succeed in life. I am thankful for the wonderful examples and friends I have that support me and help me along the way.
Please, whoever is reading this, remember that He loves you and it is never to late to come back to Him.

Love

Wait a second...love? You know something. I love Romance,  I love Love. But today, lately, I'm so sad when I hear about it, maybe because perhaps I havent found mine, but I know I will. Great things take time. I love seeing a new couple finding eachother in eachothers eyes, willing to give away their hearts in return of the others and stepping in an adventure filled with passion and hardship. I love knowing that a man will give up Guys Night just to be with the girl he absolutely loves. I love seeing a girl say no to shopping just to spend a few hours playing video games with the man she loves. I love watching a family starting their lives together and creating more juniors with infinite love. I love watching an old couple walking in the park, holding hands and still blushing. I love knowing that love is infinite, that love produces miracles and that love is what holds people together. Thinking about this makes me happy, yes, but watching people lose the opportunity at hand or fake love makes my heart crumble. I know it shouldn't but I guess I'm senstive that way, I guess thats my weakness, but it is also my strength. When I say I'm romantic I dont mean ''give me chocolate and flowers everyday and talk to me all through the day saying how much you love me and youre not allowed to see anyone else but me'' because that would be to much. Yes a few cheesy lines would be great, but dont spoil it. Chocolate? Rarely and only on special occasions so that when you do give them it means a lot more than the other possible times. Flowers? I love origami just as much. Kisses? All the time. It doesnt have to be the same or always on the mouth. On the forehead, on the cheek, on the hand, on the shoulder...and so forth... Affection is the key. Fancy restaurants? Nah I dont need to, just make me a simple dinner with what we have and we can dress up and dance outside, money is unsessary in this case. I know I'm cheap, but for me its the thought that counts. What I love is the small simple things, the looks he'll give me, the smiles, the compliments, the dear dear hugs, cuddles and kisses. The simple help,the simple love.
Congratulations on my sister getting married to an Amazing man. They will be indeed be magnificant together, there will be hard times, but without them it wont make them strong. Good luck on both of them!

Lost?

Do you ever feel lost? You wake up and you look around and feel like something is missing? Or go to bed at night and feel so empty? Do you ever sit down a minute and try to figure out why you are so lost? All the sudden there are so many questions. What do I really want to do for the rest of my life? What do I see myself doing. Who do I really want to be with. What do I need to do before I die? Am I ready for the future? Will I be ready for my own little juniors one day? Or just simple ones, do I really want to eat this? Do I really want to do this... I dont have an answer do any of those. I dont have an answer... Do you ever feel like you've lost your chance sometimes? You're chance at proving yourself or others specific things? Life goes by so fast that it's left me blank, it's all changing with high speed. Here's another question... Are you sometimes so tired that you want to stop time and just lay there for a while and do nothing?? How about you're tired and you're so excited to go to bed so you get ready and jump in, say your prayers and close your eyes but all the sudden you don't want to sleep because it gives you back memories that you would prefer not think about so you try to find a different position or get out of bed. That shouldn't happen, but it's happening.
Random question: Have you realised that the people you get attached the most to and end up being such good friends are the ones that are leaving? Why does that happen. It's honestly the worst for me because I get attached.

Growing up perhaps

So here's the thing. Life goes by TO fast. Here you are, a toddler, playing and whinning with eachother. Everyday is a perfect day. If something bad happends, who cares you're back in the game in a minute or two! Everything is so magical and you think Mommy can do anything! And Daddy can fix anything. Your parents always have the answers to everything and you always stand so amazed! Crazy hey? Then you grow a little and go to school, you start to read and write and you know how to count. Man now you really think your grownup since you can go potty and tie your shoes aswell all by yourself! But then something odd happens. Early teenage years. Everything is changing so fast! Your attitude is getting a little rude, your hormones are doing funny things, your body and voice is changing as you try to stay focussed. All the sudden, in a flash you don't want anything to do with your parents. All the sudden they're to weird to be seen around them. Why? They love you! Dont they still have the answers? Wouldnt you think they do? Funny how fast you can change your opinion on someone you love...or loved? Then you are in high School and man theres a lot of hot boys (or girls) and now its all about competition. You need to be the best and you need to impress to get the hot shot. What the heck? Why ? Why cant they all just understant and learn to just be themselves. it would make EVERYTHING so much more easier for everyone. Then in grade 11 or 12 you start to come back to your parents because you've realised you've missed them. Every time someone brakes your heart or problems come you realise, well i hope you do, that you need your parents. so you talk to your mom or dad and grow closer to them. You then realise how much you love them and wonder what happened. It's rather simple. You're growing up. You try things on your own, its normal. but i ask one thing. Come back to your parents. You dont need to be like a child and become useless without them , but hey I dare you to be their friend! It's the best! i honestly love it, i laugh and cry the hardest with them.Just try :) They love you, no matter what.

true friendship

A friend will ask to hangout and wait, but a true friend will insist until it actually happens.
A friend will listen to your stories, but a true friend will give you feedback.
A friend will tell you she is there for you, but a true friend will show up.
The difference between a friend and a real friend is that he/she will tell you when things go wrong, he/she will help you fix what is broken or what isn’t right, he's/she’s not afraid to hurt your feelings since you gave her a special part in your heart.  The difference between a friend and a real friend is that he/she will straight up tell you in your face what you are doing is stupid or useless and because he's/she’s the one that said it, it doesn’t hurt you it actually makes you stronger. And when he/she gives you a compliment or positive feedback or even when he/she is your wingman it makes it even better because he/she has your back and you have his/hers. All is well.
You know when you have a real friend is when you can be crazy and say whatever you want and feel like idiots. It’s when you’re able to cry or laugh, it’s when you put your confidence in that friendship.
Its when you don't care what others might think.

Most important i need him to be a worthy priestood holder, so I would like him to be a return missionary,  yes please. I would like him taller than me. Please i want him to love chilldren, because i love children haha. ok well i would love it if he could cook, because one day i will be pregnant and i would like to relax sometimes and have a nice lil surprise from him that he made dinner :) awee yes.

bad day?

We've all had bad days i supposed. But let me tell you about my day.
I wake up rather early (10am) for going to bed at 4:30am. First thing i did was went to my grandparents to water their plants, well that took about 45 minutes. Then i went back home and sat for about 5 minutes and started writting to my big sister when my dad wanted me to come downstairs. So i quickly changed load in the washing machine and the dryer and sat down in the living room. He then started getting mad at my sister and me on how we dont have a job and how all we seem to do is nothing. We'll I've been looking for a job since April and let me tell you I am still looking for one. It is harder than you think, especially for me since i seem to have a curse for jobs. So it took about 1 hr maybe more to try to tell my dad to trust me and let me make my descision since its about my future right. He understood, after many screaming moments, crying and quiet moments but we are on good terms again. I know he loves me and I understand where he is coming from, but with all the stress, I can't do it all right now. I need time to think so i decided to just watch a movie by myself today since i was home alone. After my movie i felt good enough to hang out with friends so i went to get my things and i could not find my keys...i looked everywhere...take a wild guess where they were...well are. in the van. ya LOCKED. ok so that means i cant use the car to go hang out. that means i cant use the car to go into town and go job hunting. that means i cant use the car to surprise my friend tomorrow (of which i cant seem to hangout hangout with him cuz were always busy at different times so i was going to surprise him at work or at home when he was done work) but no i cant cuz the keys are in  the van. oh wait that means that i cant use the car to go to the temple tomorrow...oh so now my dad has to drive all the way from waterton to home to pick me up and bring me to the temple...wow Myriam...get a brain.

Just be yourself

Those who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind. just be yourself.

Judging

Don't Judge Pudge and Don't Hate Tate.
Why do people judge? It drives me insane...nuts! It is not someones place to decided and throw they life into it. Noone is perfect, obvisouly! So noone should judge the other because they aren't the ones to judge. I have lost so many friends from people judging me and honestly it is the worst because then noone actually knows what happened since everyone decides to interpret it in their own ways... and they hate you. If you really want to know something you wont listen to rumors and gossip since it most likely got modified. And you know something? It hurts, let me tell you, it hurts! Noone likes having their friends turn away from them and start stories about them...especially false ones...but hey that just proves something for ya...they are not your friends. friend will stay with you whether youve been an idiot or if youre just being yourself, for real. So here's the truth, people will make mistakes. Some bigger than others. You're job is to not judge them and to love them even more. People need love, not hate. Stay strong, forgive, and love.
Just love

Shadows And Regrets

Shadows And Regrets

I'm back, back in town
and everything has changed
I feel, feel let down
The faces stay the same
I see, see shadows
Of who we used to be
When I drive, drive so slow
Through this memory

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest

I heard, heard myself
Say things I'd take back
If I could, could retell
And make these stories last
I see, see shadows
Of who we'll always be
And I drive, drive these roads
That made our memories

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
Shadows and regrets
Let go of the rest

Everything has changed
Faces stay the same
Everything has changed
Faces stay the same

When we were only kids
And our time couldn't end
And how tall did we stand?
With the world in our hands

And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest

Shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
Shadows and Regrets
We let go of the rest

Lyrics...voices

Music

What does it mean to you? What kind of music do you like? You see to me it is so important to have music. I listen to music when I run, when I shower (when people in my house dont mind of course haha) and when I take walks and especially when i am driving or just in my room. But one of my favorite times are when i make music with my friends or when they perform for me. You understand? haha I love music. But here's the thing, i dont just listen to one style... I listen to all, almost. Country, Rap, Oldies, Acoustic, Indie, Screemo, Chill, Hip-Hop, RnB, Classical, Rock.... Music to me is young or old individuals expressing their opinions or feelings. It is a way of expressing eachothers feelings, taking you back to a moment in life or making a new memory. Remembering the good times and sadly the bad times too. It is some sort of motivation that whatever the mood you are in, there is a song about you and how you feel in that very moment. Creepy hey? I love how inspiration comes to people and how someone can just write what they feel and sing about it. I have tried that and you know... I can only write the lyrics, or i can only write the melody but for some odd reason i cant seem yo put them together. i can never finish it, atleast. It takes talent to do such things, and determination too actually. It's funny because when I listen to music, it feels like i know them, the people making it. It makes me love them and understand what is happening even if we live half a world away or not. Here's a song I was just listening to.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKiiNq72040&feature=relmfu
And now listen to this...oh my :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah6_JKmGQyY&feature=related
Just love

Blind

All I Need Is a Miracle
The boy whispered, "God, speak to me."
And a bird sang
and the boy said, "I cant hear you."
and thunder roared
and the boy cried, "God let me see you."
and a star shone
but the boy did not see.
and the boy yelled, "God perform a miracle."
and a baby was born
but the boy did not know.
so the boy got angry and screamed, "God let me know you are near."
So God bend down and touched the boy on the shoulder and the boy brushed the butterfly from his shoulder and walked away.

Do we sometimes take life for granted? Do we expect to much and get blinded from our pride? Are we sometimes blind and forget to see the beauty around us? We should never forget the beauty around us that Heavenly Father has provided for us. Let us always be thankful and live our lives happyly and also by counting our many blessings and letting go of what has hurt us in the past.
 Just love.

Best friends

I have a real nice friend, yap i call him Renold or Fruitloops on my phone...but thats not his real name. I've actually seen him many times before we met. but its funny cuz he wouldnt talk to me. I dont know why, well maybe i do. It wasnt till, hmm april i think it was, that he decided to shake off the false rumors about me and find out for himself. well im sure glad he did cuz now we are very good friends :) . I have the best talks with him actually, noone can top those. I've been dying to go on a date but no guys are asking me, so he asked me...and you know what we did? we sat outside in a park, up a lil hill in a gasibo (however we spell that) and talked for 2-3 hrs...around there. then we got glow sticks and cracked them open and painted the watermelon and threw it high up from a train track we climbed to. Then we got some yummyliscious icecream and ATE IT. it was actually such a great night. I know it sounds like just a normal day, but i enjoyed it. If anyone is actually reading this, which i doubt anyone is, friends are so important to me. I dont know what i would do if i didnt have friends. It is such a blessing for me to have company like that, even to a crazy girl like me thats all over the place but independent. So take care of those you have, and dont stop making friends because there is always some in need of comfort, one day it might be you. Love

Workin?

So heres the story. I had a new job 2 weeks ago. You know at first i thought it was sweet and i was having a blast...meeting new people... making food... being away from my house....but then something horrible showed up. SWEARING. ugh how much i despise swearing... Why do people swear? Where did it all come from? At first i tried not to listen and pay attention but then it got worse...they used bad language in every stinkin' sentences...how can someone do that?!? how is that even possible. Do they have nothing to say so they decided "hey ill just use this word now". its totally random and useless. Like seriously connect with me for one or two seconds. Ill just change the swears into random words...." hey dude! shes microphone hot!" or " Gurrrrl you gotta stop throwing printers on me" ?? how does that make sense...It doesnt... thats what swears do...they dont make sense but then it affects ur brain immensly and youre stuck like this and so miseable. But then thats not it...they then started playing dirty songs...and when i say dirty i mean nasty wasty ! I honestly did not know someone could say something this horrible to and about someone and do things to them...? gross. and now im a victim...it was shoved in my head when i did not want it to get in so i was debaiting on quitting and just bring headphones and listen to my own music, i was considering it....but then the worst came and snuck up on me one night. They mocked me for my religion. Let me remind you where we live...We live in a free country, Canada...i am allowed. Yes i am LDS, a mormon. I dont care if you call me fat. i dont care if you call me hideous. I dont care if you say i cant talk cuz im French. I dont care if you think im too white. I wouldnt care less if you called me a freak. But one thing i do mind. Do not mock me for my religion. It is my belief. I stand tall for what i have come to know. I found out for myself and i have felt it. I love the gospel and i am proud to be LDS. so i quit. 3 negatives...it was time to go, and here i am out in the world looking for another job haha...itll come, i know it.

the trials of life

Why is life so hard? Will I ever get a break from trials? How can I endure?”

Liahona- President Thomas S. Monson

· Trials can help you learn, be humble, and become stronger.

· You can avoid some trials by making good choices.

· Life is a test; trials are opportunities to show that you will be faithful.

· If you seek His help, the Lord can help you endure your trials well.

· Come unto Christ in your trials, and He will give you rest.

Life would be easier without trials, but we wouldn’t learn or grow much. Trials can humble us, help us grow spiritually, and remind us that we need the Lord’s help. Trials can help us learn to appreciate times of peace. Most important, they give us opportunities to show the Lord and ourselves that we will be faithful.


Some trials are a part of mortality, like natural disasters or the death of a loved one. Knowing that these things happen, you can prepare for them and, therefore, endure them better.


Other trials come from your own choices or the choices of others, like mistakes or sins. As you make good choices, you can avoid bringing some of these trials upon yourself. Enduring trials that are the result of others’ choices is difficult. Maybe a friend betrayed you, or you struggle with the bad language you hear around you. In these types of trials, be forgiving, stay faithful, and pray for the Lord’s help and comfort.


How well you endure trials is up to you. Those who grow from their trials stay close to the Lord and ask themselves, “What can I learn from this?” Those who feel sorry for themselves in their trials ask, “Why me?”


Notice how a long war between the Nephites and Lamanites affected the Nephites differently: “Many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility” (Alma 62:41; emphasis added). All were affected by the war, but not all chose to grow from it.


Here are a few ways to endure trials well: (1) Seek the Spirit—the Comforter—through prayer, fasting, scripture study, and righteous living. (2) Serve others, attend church and the temple, and spend time with loving friends and family. These things can bring you peace. (3) Try to keep a balanced perspective: even during trials there are still good things in your life. And (4) ask your parents and bishop or branch president for advice on getting through a trial.


Have you noticed that when you see someone going through a trial that you have gone through, you are more understanding and willing to help that person? Similarly, the Savior took upon Himself your trials—including your pains, sicknesses, temptations, and weaknesses—and He is perfectly compassionate and able to help (see Alma 7:11–12). In your trials remember what He said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).





James B. Martino


Of the Second Quorum of the Seventy said


We may never know in this life why we face what we do, but we can feel confident that we can grow from the experience.






As we pass through the trials of life, let us keep an eternal perspective, let us not complain, let us become even more prayerful, let us serve others, and let us forgive one another. As we do this, “all things [will] work together for good to [us] that love God.”










By Elder Paul B. Pieper


Of the Seventy said






In a moment life changes and we are left searching for answers. This is a critical time of decision. How will we react? Where will we look to find the answers we need?


This is the moment when eternal destinies are forged in the quiet reaches of the heart and mind as we struggle to respond to a personal trial. At such moments we can choose to remember the spiritual witnesses and testimony we have received and rely on the Lord to help us through the challenge in a way consistent with His teachings and commandments. Or we can discount the sacred whisperings we have received from the Spirit and turn to our own or another’s wisdom for a solution. As John saw, in the end only those who choose to rely consistently and completely on their testimonies will be able to overcome all things in mortality and stand worthily before God at the last day.






A new convert to the Church taught me this lesson and strengthened my faith. This woman was converted to the Church in a land where the gospel was new. She gained a testimony of its truthfulness and embraced it with all her heart. The gospel brought her something she had known little of—hope. Her only son, who had struggled for years to overcome an addiction, began to attend church meetings with her and to change. Her heart rejoiced. She finally had hope that he could overcome his past and find happiness together with her.






But then her trial came. One night he came home late after being out with old friends and engaging in old ways. By morning he was dead.






How would she react to her trial? Would the emotion of a mother grieving the loss of her only son overcome her? Would she begin to question her Heavenly Father, as others did, wondering why He would let this happen? Would she become bitter and withdraw from the enlivening doctrines of the Restoration?


No!


She returned to the testimony she had received during her conversion and gave thanks to a loving Heavenly Father for bringing the gospel to her before the crisis so that she would have the strength to endure it. With a witness of the reality of God’s plan, she could go on. She didn’t have all the answers, but she had a testimony and relied on it for the strength to endure her trial. God’s plan is designed so that each of us will go through many trials in our lives. Trials are His way of stretching us and helping us become as He is. Our crises will differ in magnitude and frequency, but they will continue throughout our lives. As John learned, strength to overcome these trials and return to Heavenly Father is found in the word of our testimonies.

Everything else is secondary.
-- Steve Jobs

Whatever your circumstances, you were born to lead in your family, in your school, and in your community. So this year, be strong, have courage, and make a difference in the world! You are not alone.

How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: ‘Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.Thomas S. Monson,
My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith. Thomas S. Monson
None of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges—and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened. However, we are told, ‘Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.’
How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: ‘Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.Thomas S. Monson
This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Thomas S. Monson
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness Boyd K. Packer
Sisters, we love you. We pray for you. Be strong and of good courage. You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. Your 'once upon a time' is now. Dieter F. Uchtdorf
One of the great blessings of the plan is that we are organized into families. You have parents whose greater wisdom and experience will help you reach your divine potential. Trust them. They want the best for you. Mary N. Cook
These four guides—prayer, obedience to God’s commandments, daily scripture study, and a commitment to follow the living prophet—may seem like small and simple things. Let me remind you of the scripture found in Alma: ‘Behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass. Ann M. Dibb
