This lovely lady above came and spoke in our ward today. She said some pretty wonderful things and I can't remember most of it except that she said "if you want to be respected, you must be respectable." I love it! She also said this, quoting herself in an October 2000 talk called The Joy of Womanhood:
The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.
What a delight it is to have her and her husband in our ward. Such inspirations they are to me.
Also, I listened to a Power of Moms podcast today and it said "stop trying to be perfect to and for your children, just work on being lovable and kind." I needed that cause I am working more towards perfect than lovable. I need to pour my love into those sweet little baby cheeks.
