Click HERE to read about "Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of the Relief Society." It is a must-read for all women. You can download a free copy to read.
Here's a part of the book that shows the importance of reading it:
"The teachings, stories, and examples in the book can guide sisters in establishing priorities and practices in their lives that will help them increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need."
"The world's greatest champion of woman and womanhood is Jesus the Christ."
(by James E. Talmage, in Daughters in My Kingdom, page 3)

Time Out for Women - The Clicker Experiment
I loved hearing Hilary Weeks at Time Out for Women. Her music and songs are beautiful and motivational. Her thoughts and musings were equally wonderful. I particularly liked her "Clicker Experiment." Tracking our negative thoughts, complaints and whining brings us down. Our spirits soar when we focus on the positives in life. Visit her blog to read about her story in her own words.

Time Out for Women - "Halt! Who Am I?"
I loved Mary Ellen Edmunds' talk about becoming and returning to who we are. Here are my notes and thoughts about her talk.
She spoke about a packet of carrot seeds. As tiny little carrot seeds, it is hard to imagine that they will someday turn into big carrots. But sure enough, after those small seeds are planted, they grow into big carrots. God plants you where you're supposed to be and surrounds us by people to help us. We need to stand in awe as we become who we're supposed to be. YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE MEANT TO BE! Expect greatness.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are nothing compared to what lies within us.

Time Out for Women - Atonement
Brad Wilcox gave a great talk about the Atonement at Time Out for Women. Here are my notes and thoughts on his talk.
God has a plan. When you wonder about your future, look back and see how God has guided you in your life. He gives you opportunities to grow. He puts people in our lives that we need at that time. He knows the big picture.
The miracle of the Atonement is that we can all be transformed. This is more than just saying we are saved by grace, but rather learning to apply the Atonement in our lives and becoming perfected through Christ.
Brad Wilcox was asked by a "born again" Christian, "Have you been saved by grace?" His response? "Have you been CHANGED by grace?"
