A Great Article on the Role of Women
My friend, Janille, shared this with me and I just had to pass it along. It is an inspiring article by Rachel DeMille, a great mentor of mine. If you read the recent Daily Herald article written on Mother’s Day, you may recall my favorite historical female, Abigail Adams. This article captures well why I aspire to be like her and encourage my children to study her and others like her who have lived such exemplarary lives. I hope you enjoy it and are inspired to action as I am by it! Thanks Janille for sharing! I am blessed to be surrounded in the present by good friends who exemplify the message of this article. Janille is one of them!

I was also able to share information about the Parents Television Council and my platform on Decency. I met so many great women from all over Utah who were volunteering to improve their children’s education and school experience. It was a great day to be in the midst of so many good women.

Lots of people have a favorite historical figure. For Karmel Larson, it’s Abigail Adams, wife of America’s second president, John Adams. “We named our daughter after her,” said Larson, a mother of four children (the youngest is 18 months and the oldest is 6) who grew up in Washington state. “She’s a perfect blend of a woman who had her own accomplishments but was fiercely devoted to her family.” … continue reading this entry.
Abby’s Dance Class
Brigham went to Abby’s dance class today and played the piano for their dance music. Abby was beside herself with excitement! All of our kids are so crazy about their dad.
Speaking to Mapleton Young Women
I was invited to talk to the Mapleton 7th Ward Young Women about modesty. Their leaders were so excited that I had won the evening wear award with a modest dress. I also shared with them this article, about Mrs. Texas International, who was crowned last week, wearing the only dress with sleeves. Wonderful girls… it was a great honor to be with them!
