Bra Badges: April 2015
http://brabadges.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
My Bill of Rights. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. In the LDS church, members are given "callings" -volunteer positions to keep the church functioning in an organized manner. It's a great system that doesn't always work perfectly -just like life -and it gives members the opportunity to serve in a variety of ways. I've served as a teacher, a leader, a pianist. I've given talks, treats, time, projects! It still is. I almost cried with happiness when they released me. So glad YOU remembered about scouts today!

Bra Badges: Monsoons
http://brabadges.blogspot.com/2015/07/monsoons.html
My Bill of Rights. Thursday, July 2, 2015. Arizona Monsoons are brilliant. Arizona Deserts are moody and impatient. They turn from parched to drenched in seconds and right back again. Last night, we saw a storm in the distance. We gathered up mowers and toys, moved the dogs inside, filled our little oil lamp up, and unplugged big, expensive electronics. The storm moved quickly in, lighting up the sky. Aren't you glad we live in this little cozy house? I realize the storm, the rumblings and the grumblings...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: March 2014
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Tuesday, March 11, 2014. I had a good evening last night. A much needed one. I've been feeling very defeated and beaten lately. Losing my will to survive. It is easy to get into traps and hard to get out. The main character was able to get off the mountain and was rescued by the locals. They protected him from the Taliban. I don't define emotional strength as being 'too good for help or from anyone else.' The soldiers were very committed to each other. They knew f...I jus...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: January 2014
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Thursday, January 30, 2014. Battle log of a small (BIG) victory. Need to recount an experience yesterday. This battle rages on. If this truly is my battle log than I want to tell of a vital victory I had. She knows quite a bit of Spanish so I will ask her tough translation questions or ‘how would you best explain this? 8217; So as she came by, she went to grab my dictionary that was on the table where all my students and I were sitting. And she bends over right in fro...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: October 2013
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. So i should be working on a project for school that is due tomorrow. I got reading some posts of friends on facebook. Not the best site to be on for me at such a late hour. I'm in a public place so I guess I feel i could. Anyway, I read a poignant post that outlines an interview with a girl struggling with addiction to pornography. Why would this happen? Why would something so vile be so prevalent and pervasive? I don't know how I'd handle bre...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: February 2014
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Thursday, February 6, 2014. I had another great insight today that was spot on for me. I am listening to the talks of Joe and Charlie, a couple of sober AA guys. They do a live recording of discussing alcoholism and the 12-steps. It is all stuff that I need to hear and learn (and they’re way funny! Charlie was discussing what our illness is….what are obsession is. Sick as it is…I wish I could have sexual and stimulating experiences and then be done and okay! This is the r...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: September 2013
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Monday, September 30, 2013. Ok, so I am writing a post. I don’t want to spend a ton of time on this because I have lots of things to do. I snapped this morning. I cracked. Last night marked day 51 of complete sobriety. Honestly, I enjoyed very good sobriety. Now I was not immune to triggers or temptations, but I practiced recovery and surrender bc it works. Well, the past two weeks, it has become harder and harder to attend meetings, read recovery literature. I feel like ...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: Weekend Battles (and victories)
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2014/02/weekend-battles-and-victories.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Monday, February 3, 2014. Weekend Battles (and victories). I need to get some negative stuff out. I feel like I’m barely hanging on sometimes. I’d like to think I’d be some sort of expert on this lust addiction stuff but I am not. I’m super weak emotionally. I realize it more and more as I stay sober. The White Book talks about this and I am seeing it lately. Here is an example:. Bc somehow they got to win the heart of these beauties. They are OBVIOUSLY worthy so mayb...

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior: July 2013
http://battlelogofanephitewarrior.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. I’ll be quick because I’m at work. I met with the bishop last night. I was feeling mixed on the whole thing. He pulls out his recommend book and begins the questions. I answer to the affirmative on all the questions. We get to the “Do you live the law of chastity? 8221; and I don’t feel it. I said that I am not going to answer yes until I feel that I am. Right now, I feel like I’m trying to get this recommend to look good in front of others.

Battle Log of a Nephite Warrior. Thursday, June 27, 2013. Is it just me or coming up with a fancy title kinda stressful? You know you all do it.trying to come up with a cool title so that people will read your blog and then comment and then your ego inflates? I feel like sometimes recovery has to be just as sneaky as the addiction. So where were you Thursday night or Monday? You want to go to a movie.oh you can't.wait you'll be with 'friends'? Soccer on saturday.so you can't come? Here's to another 24.
