Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Sunday, August 17, 2014. One February night, many moons ago, one of my best friends, Devin, asked me for one thing I have always wanted to learn how to do. After seconds of deep review.I told him about how I wanted to learn how to skateboard. When I told him this, I meant to express my aspiration in a "someday" kind of sense. I quickly learned that balance was important, even just ...

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Wednesday, June 25, 2014. I feel like hiding in a box". Those were the words I disclosed to a friend the other day. Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Nicole, boxes aren't very comfortable! BUTboxes aren't very comfortable. There is no room for stretching and growth. In a box. Boxes are dark inside. So what is your purpose? What is my purpose? The Savior offers this answer:.

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Adventure, adventure, adventure! Sometimes my heart seems to scream for adventure. I get this intense desire to drop everything and just go on some quest of sorts. So this means I'm ready to climb the highest mountain peaks, scope the deep blue sea, and save the world, right? People watching at the mall. Volunteering with something cool! I have adventu...

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Wednesday, November 12, 2014. The past week, I have pondered something that brings joy to both the giver and receiver. Something that is beautiful and lovely. Something that has the power to turn tears in to laughter. Well, I didn't end up crying. We all had a wonderful time visiting with each other. I was laughing at nearly everything. It felt so good to be there, that I b...After...

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Monday, April 21, 2014. Simply Beautiful - It's Not Easy Being Beautiful. My whole life, one of my deepest desires has been to be beautiful. But for the longest time, this seemed like a dream that would never come true. I wasn't that pretty at all, was I? Looking back on all those years, I see that I didn't understand what true beauty was. And how do we achieve it? What a prime age!

Small and Simple Things: Simply Beautiful - Comparisons
http://smallandsimplenicole.blogspot.com/2014/07/simply-beautiful-comparisons.html
Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Simply Beautiful - Comparisons. Do you ever compare yourself to others? I hope you don't say no, because I think everyone does, even without thinking about it. I sure do. But boy, can I think about it. So, are comparisons good or bad? However, most of the time, when we compare our self to others, we walk down a sandy hill. These are the bad comparisons.

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Saturday, October 25, 2014. Sometimes I like to drive to the temple and just sit in the parking lot. Actually, I do this quite often. I come here for alone time. I come here to ponder. To read my scriptures. To sing primary songs (don't laugh). To eat granola bars. All the important things in life! This last time around was an experience I felt like sharing. At first I didn't under...

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Saturday, January 17, 2015. Some weeks are just a challenge. New opportunities come our way that require some growing pains before we reach new heights. I must say, the refiners fire gets quite hot. Really hot. I believe this. I've always kept it in mind with modesty and the word of wisdom. But today I had a new thought. So how can I treat myself and others like a temple? When your...

Small and Simple Things. Life reminding me that ".by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6). Thursday, February 27, 2014. I thought. I could go to Frys, which is so close, I could go to Walmart, or I could go to WinCo! Plus, it's way more spacious than Walmart, and I like spacious buildings (as long as they are NOT Great and Spacious Buildings). And there I stood, with my one carton of milk.
