Lay Your Foundation. And Love It.

I love these faces.  And these photos only represent a portion of my week last week.  We had a great week of beach, family and serious fun celebrating USA!

And I just have to say these past few weeks have been a bit crazy with several twists and turns I hadn't expected--which, I am aware that quite often, twists and turns are never expected...

So, in spite of it all, I must say that I love what I'm learning right now.  I love what my Heavenly Father is teaching me.  So often relationships represent a large part of our lives, and more often than not, the happiness or sadness we feel from them always spill over into our day to day.

I've noticed that some of my greatest challenges come from getting out of my own way.  And I've found that if I can frequently take inventory of my relationships -- all of them -- deep ones and surface ones -- I've noticed that forgiveness is an extremely powerful tool that I often overlook!

Here's what I've come to learn and now know:
When we are willing to forgive others and forgive ourselves, we can start making progress {of any kind -- personal, spiritual, professional} at a faster rate than we ever imagined!  I made it a goal to work on some relationships that needed some working out.  I had faith that as I forgave myself and others, I would feel a weight lifted and added strength.  I was nervous. I wasn't really sure what to expect.  I tried it anyway.

I made a list of people in my life that I blamed for something, resented for some reason or things I regretted.
The list was relatively long, and I knew I needed to spend some time working through each of these.

So often we learn about the Atonement and think, its just so BIG!  How can I really relate it to myself?  How do I make it mine, when it's often so overwhelming and seemingly incomprehensible.  How can the grace of God really relate to me?

I know in small ways we use the Atonement and see its value, but how often do we really make it ours?  I can say that through my "relationship inventory"  I was able to clear up some feelings that were weighing me down -- even though I never perceived them as "weight" or really even "that big of a deal", I have since come to realize that the negative thoughts, feelings and emotions we carry around every single day, quite literally "weigh" us down.  So much so that we become tired, weak and exhausted just doing everyday things, which is a huge deal!

So, I will say it again.  The negative thoughts, feelings and emotions we carry around every single day, quite literally "weigh" us down.

Going through this process of releasing negativity is incredibly powerful!  I was personally able to gain insight and strength from this process of forgiveness.  It is a beautiful gift from our Savior and we have a responsibility to use it.

I have been able to feel peace and freedom -- true freedom that comes from genuinely, and quite literally, letting things go...let it go! let it go! Can't hold it back anymore...

Sorry, I couldn't resist...you get what I mean.

But seriously, what I gained from beginning this process {because I havent finished my list yet} has been soo powerful.  I have had experiences that I never imagined could happen.  I have seen the hand of the Lord in my life in ways that have left me speechless.

I want you all to feel what I am feeling and to understand for yourself what an incredible life each of us can have if we are willing to take a few steps into the darkness and let it go.

Try it!  You won't even believe what will start to happen, so buckle up.

It's Confidence Time!

How many times on your "dress-wearing"  or "skirt-wearing" days do you think:

Where is my slip?

And in response, you think:

Is it around my rib cage?

Is it falling down?

Is it showing?

Where is the bathroom so I can adjust it?

Will anyone see me slip behind this parked car adjusting my slip?

Why do I wear this stupid thing anyway!?

I bet many of these are familiar.

But guess what?  A VERSIE slip gives you the confidence you need!  A VERSIE isn't going anywhere....you put it on and its like a second skin of yumminess!

So, finally rest assured that when you put on a VERSIE, you won't have to worry or think about your slip again!  Which frees up so much time to worry about things that really matter like, treats, diapers, seatbelts, groceries and instagram feed...ha!

Tuck In...And Stay In!

Sometimes we battle our clothes all day long.
And maybe it goes something like this...

First, we put on a layering shirt to fill gaps and to provide a sheer barrier -- pretty simple, and pretty much a necessity.

But then, we spend the rest of the day adjusting, tucking, smoothing and adjusting and adjusting some more!

It's exhausting!
And did I mention frustrating?!

Well ladies, problem solved!

A VERSIE slip accomplishes so much -- it fills the gaps, it provides a barrier aaaand it smooths you out!  I don't know of anything that accomplishes more in a womens wardrobe than a VERSIE...

A VERSIE to forever change the way you dress!!  I promise!

And because we love you, use SHIPVERSIEFREE for free shipping on your orders this week!!

Lay Your Foundation. And Love It.

16 years ago I became a mother for the first time.
My heart grew 10 times that day.
I was forever a changed person.
And I had no idea that the amazing challenge of having and raising a baby could bring so much joy...

I believe that becoming a mother is a "refiners fire" for women.  We are pushed and stretched in every way possible -- mentally, physically, emotionally, and especially spiritually.  Children have a way of forcing us to decide what we really believe and what we really want to contribute to the world.

We have the opportunity as mothers to teach, mold and love these littles into helping them reach their greatest potential, and they rely us on us for strength, guidance and council.  They look to us for reassurance and understanding of their complex world.  Our reward comes over time as we begin to see that our children have greater faith and strength than we ever imagined!  We see them develop their own divine potential inspite of our imperfections as mothers and finding joy in that process is the greatest blessing we can give ourselves!

And I just have to say that my 16 year old daughter is beautiful in every way, she's my friend and she inspires me with her goodness and joy...and I love her like crazy!

Lay Your Foundation Friday. And Love It.

I'm going to be really honest.
Its been one of those weeks.
I really don't know why, nothing specific is to blame.
I wish I had a profound understanding, insight or epiphany.  I don't.

Maybe you can relate?

Sometimes I feel like I get lost.  So many demands and/or expectations from myself that send me over the edge into a negative abyss.  I allow myself to drift, saturate and soak in negativity from every aspect possible. I become seriously imbalanced in so many ways.
I don't like it, but its real.

I know it won't last {thank goodness}, and it requires effort to pull myself back on track {which I loathe}, but I feel like when we listen and give all those negative voices a place to influence us, even in small ways, it always leads to a negative place.

Sometimes we're weak.
Sometimes we don't even notice.

Either way, we still end up in that yucky place.

I recently finished a book that had a phase at the end of the book felt like it was lit up in neon lights just for me:  "I'm not requiring you to understand.  I am simply urging you to obey.  For it is only when you obey that, eventually, you begin to understand."  {Read it again.}

It's profound, I know.
And it was exactly what I desperately needed to learn.

I guess sometimes in life we aren't supposed to see, or know, or understand the path we are on.
We just simply must continue.
And as we continue, the understanding begins to unfold.
The tricky part is focusing on the goodness, while blocking the negative voices, negative people and negativity in general!

So, patiently we wait to eventually understand...because eventually, we will understand everything.

Until then, have a fabulous weekend!
