Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment: June 2012
http://gettheduck.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment. If there is one thing I wish certain people would understand, it's this:. I don't have problems, I have issues. Problems can be fixed, issues you just deal with. I'm not capable of being fixed. I will always. One friend has told me that if I just go to more social activities, I'll be able to get over my social anxiety. Or that if I just tried harder to make more friends, Church wouldn't be so hard for me. I couldn't handle it anymore, so I gave up the calling. Some days, I...

I give you Leonard Cohen's Dance Me to the End of Love. As performed by The Civil Wars:. Now, I know what you're thinking. Why not just use good o'l Leonard's version.well, that was a little too 80s, if you know what I mean. Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin.

Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment: I will NOT be silenced.
http://gettheduck.blogspot.com/2014/06/i-will-not-be-silenced.html
Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment. I will NOT be silenced. Today someone I hold dearly in my heart was told that she was not wanted by the Church that she loves. The Church that I loved. Along with her countless women heard their decision: You are not wanted. You are not welcome. We can find open, welcoming arms in this Church of ours, if we shut up, sit up, and do as we're told. I chose to be a member of this church. I chose to earn my YW medallions. I chose to attend the Church's school. We are Daughters ...

Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment. Don’t limit yourself and don’t let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then live so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith.". 8212;Thomas S. Monson, " Living the Abundant Life. And that's all I have to say about that. Americans Are Such Badasses. Even when we don't know why. And I *will* back that up with my gun, from the NRA. Probably Going to Lose the Hand.

Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment: Dream Deferred
http://gettheduck.blogspot.com/2014/07/dream-deferred.html
Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment. First, I have to start with a poem that has spoken to me a great deal over the last few years:. What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up. Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore—. Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over—. Like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags. Like a heavy load. Or does it explode? My dream exploded yesterday. The chances of me teaching at BYU ever are pretty slim. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Picture Window templat...

Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment: January 2013

Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment. I think this should be trigger free, but it may not. Fair warning. - - - - - - - - -. Part of me was relieved. Part of me was devastated. Part of me was elated. Part of me broke down in tears. I have childhood memories of state homes, visiting my brother. They are tender memories. And one day, he left me too. The longer I sat there listening to everyone talk about the study and cognitive impairments, the knot grew. I felt myself shrinking on the inside. Not deeply, not yet...

Let's Save Our Hallmark Moment. No, I'm not pregnant. Not even close.*. I rediscovered a favorite song of mine today:. The State That I'm In" by Belle and Sebastian. More particularly, I'm in love with a line in the song. And so I gave myself to God. There was a pregnant pause before He said okay". What makes this most interesting to me, is the lead sings "before he said okay" and the backup singer sings "before I said okay." They all take a pregnant pause. Here are my thoughts on that. Back to the lyrics.
