A few days ago I got a text from my brother Matt,
who he said:
"Baboon way to top the list."
(Did you know my brother Matt calls me "Baboon"?
He nicknamed me that the second he lay eyes on me
in 1981 when I was just hours old- and he was about 12 years old).
Matt added this link in his text.
(And I feel truly honored!!).

I've been really reflecting on my experience as a blogger.
After a lot of thought, I've decided to make some changes in
the way I blog and publish my life, feelings, and ideas.
These changes will help protect myself, my family,
and seriously, my anxiety levels.
Blogging for me has always been to keep a record for my posterity,
glorify God, and do His work.
Through blogging I have met some incredible people and organizations.
I have been places, tried new things, and have
helped provide financially for my family.
And perhaps you'll notice these changes-- and maybe you won't,
I've put in a lot of thought and prayer into these decisions.
I will continue to try and "publish peace"
with "tidings of great joy" (1 Nephi 13:37)
as I write about families, love, Jesus Christ,
God's plan for His children, homemaking,
rearing, raising, and teaching children, learning, growing
enduring, hardships, and the scriptures.
I believe I will find greater purpose in the "blogosphere",
and exactly where I fit into it.
Most importantly, I want to stay true to myself,
my beliefs, my children and family.
I am sure I will write more about this effort as the days go on.
It has really been occupying my thoughts for some time now.
