Create
Create
The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.
No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty.
You might say, I'm not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again, and remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe.
Isn't it remarkable to think that your very spirits are fashioned by an endlessly creative and eternally compassionate God?
Think about it: your spirit body is a masterpiece, created with a beauty, function, and capacity beyond imagination.
Creation is your opportunity in this life, and in the life to come. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano.
Do not let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the world a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create.
The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

You are stronger than you think
Within You Is The Strength
To Meet Life's Challenges!
You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

The Whale Said “Thank You”
The Whale Said “Thank You”
If you read a recent front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale that had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. -- a very
dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around…she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
"It felt to me like it was thanking us, knowing that it was free and that we had helped it," James Moskito, one of the rescue divers, said Tuesday. "It stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun."
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. Life is short ...forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly,laugh uncontrollably... and never regret anything that made you smile.
I pass this on to you ... in the same spirit.
