10 miles in 6:47 pace Got my miles in early so I could attend the Boulder Stake Women's Conference this morning. It was a fabulous program where the highlight speaker was one of my favorite LDS women, Sheri Dew. Sister Dew spoke about being an influential person (helping others), keeping our focus on Jesus Christ and not being distracted by things that don't matter. She also spoke about choosing to be happy amidst less than ideal circumstances, and seeking God's help in performing our individual "missions" here on Earth. I took 7 (SEVEN!) pages of notes and couldn't stop nodding in agreement with everything she was saying...it was awesome!! My favorite part was when she said, "As we try desperately to do what we were sent here to do, we will be fulfilled and happy. God will give us what we need to accomplish what we were sent here to do." I believe this with all my heart and I also join her in the conviction that true peace, happiness, and fulfillment in life comes through following Jesus Christ. After the program I went over to meet Sheri and thank her for her thoughts and wisdom. What an awesome lady!!
