She's done some serious work on that topic, and I love it that we can all grow from it.

You're absolutely welcome to use any of the quotes above.

Thank you for your inspiring message!<br /><br />I'm trying to figure out how to email you, since I haven't yet, I hope you don't mind if I do this here. This is Mandy Cheney, one of the POM trainers, and I wanted your permission to use some of your quotes in an upcoming post I'm doing for Babble.com. I write there daily and would love to quote you and of course give you the credit. I can link to you, but don't know if you would prefer I link to this blog or POM. <br />When you get a second, could you email me and we can chat for 5 secs? <br />Thanks!<br /><br />Mandy<br />www.themushblog.comMandycheneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-13899466938636350662012-02-24T19:15:11.953-08:002012-02-24T19:15:11.953-08:00Loved this post April.

I love your honesty, because a "day in the trenches" it is something we ALL can relate to- with our children, with our spouses and sometimes just on our own. Something I find helpful to combat these days, is I become center and focused daily--before I take on all the responsibilities of the day. I read my scriptures, pray, exercise, write in my journal and get ready for the day. It may sound like a lot - on days I have more time, I read and write more on days I don't... I do less. I figure it is the habit that adds value. Doing these things FIRST have changed my life. I am taking care of me first and then I have more to give to them.Lindsaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-16610730884605569162012-02-21T19:24:06.056-08:002012-02-21T19:24:06.056-08:00April, I love that you are doing Personal Progress...April, I love that you are doing Personal Progress with Alia! I am thinking about doing it again now that I am back in the program. I also love the Power Point thoughts. I need to do that too. Maybe it can be a value experience--ooh!

Oh I so want to open my children's eyes to the world around them. How exciting. I've got to blog about the book soon. Thanks for taking the time to interview that neat lady and sharing those great quotes. <br />MindyMindyvdghttp://busybliss.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-48807344248921265952012-02-20T15:46:41.084-08:002012-02-20T15:46:41.084-08:00This was perfectly needed today.

I just became YW President in my ward and have decided to do the PP program all over again with my 1st counselor who never was in YW due to being a convert in her 20's. I totally love the quotes you have shared.
