 let’s get started…

this party has two simple rules:

1. please add a link to this blog in your post. i am working on a button for future posts but for now you’ll just need to link text. you are more than welcome to grab the photo…just know it doesn’t work as a button yet. html coding and i were not getting along last night. any way, in one way or another – please link back to live to be inspired so other’s can see what’s going on and join in on fun. a discussion has also been started on live to be inspired’s facebook page so if you don’t have a blog – you can get in on the party there as well. 

2. i reserve the right to delete any postings that do not fit the party theme. basically anything inappropriate, crude, negative, etc. i doubt i’ll need to exercise this right, but i do have it. 🙂

now onto what i deemed worthy to talk about this week. since i had this party on my mind all week i found i noticed so many things that were positive, happy & totally blog worthy! i hope it was the same for all of you. i had a hard time narrowing it down to just one thing, so i have a few for today. funny how what you focus on, you see more of isn’t it?

up first, this talk given last weekend by elder dieter f. uchtdorf.

some of my favorite words were:

there is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions…we would do well to slow down a little, proceed at the optimum speed for our circumstances, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most…”

pay particular attention to when he starts talking about the four key relationships when you read the article – his words are ah-mazing and should not be missed. i have probably read this article at least four times and each time something different stands out in this section. la la love it! also love that he mentioned the quote “no other success will compensate for failure in the home” this is a quote i have loved for a few years now and that has been on my sidebar almost since this blog began.
second blogworthy item, these two quotes about saying no and setting boundaries (they actually go hand in hand with the the above talk and the theme of simplifying our lives):

“speaking the language of ‘no’ is a good place to start creating boundaries.” ~ sarah ban breathnach

“‘whenever we deny our need to say ‘no’, our self-respect diminishes…. it is not only our right at certain times to say ‘no’; it is our deepest responsibility. for it is a gift to ourselves when we say ‘no’ to those old habits that dissipate our energy, ‘no’ to what robs us of our inner joy, ‘no’ to what distracts us from our purpose. and it is a gift to others to say ‘no’ when their expectations do not ring true for us, for in so doing we free them to discover more fully the truth of their own path. saying ‘no’ can be liberating when it expresses our commitment to take a stand for what we believe we truly need.” ~ excerpt from in search of balance: discovering harmony in a changing world.


these quotes that i read this week in the book simple abundance made me stop and think, what old habits do i need to start saying “no” to? what things do i have in my life that dissipate my energy or rob me of my inner joy? what do i need to simplify in my life? it really is a great topic to ponder in a quiet moment or talk about with family & friends. are we being distracted from our purpose by things that really don’t matter? what is my purpose anyway? definitely something to talk about. i think i’ll be putting the last quote somewhere where i will see it often!

my last item is the following music video by mindy gledhill of her song anchor (one of my faves!).
i had the chance to see her sing live at the casual blogger conference earlier this year and i am in love with her music! i can’t get enough of it. she is adorable and her musical style is phenomenal. you can’t help but be in a better mood after listening to her songs. you can purchase her cd’s on itunes and i promise you won’t have buyer’s remorse. you will be listening to every song on repeat at least until thanksgiving…and no i am not receiving anything for ranting and raving about her. i simply adore her music.




all right, it’s time to see what all of you found praiseworthy, positive or of good report this week…link away! 🙂 the link list will be open all of today.

ps. for another great video that mindy participated in and to learn about a incredible project she did with the lower lights, click here. if you love the hymns you will love the lower lights project and this video. enjoy!
