Time out for...me

After the storm of pulling the girly out of public school, we decided that some relationship rescue may be necessary. Before the decision was even made, I had signed us up for this event...hoping that it could help.  I hoped it would be an answer to prayer.  And it was.  I am so thankful to have been at Time out for Women, hosted by Deseret book, with my daughter. 

I am so tired right now that I can certainly not do it any justice, but I just wanted to pour out my gratitude for this great event.  Wahooo!  As my Baptist friends used to say, "God is good!"

I will post my notes and personal insights on here soon.  I decided to change the name from Mad Madam Min to Daily Celebrations because I felt like it was more fitting to the task at hand.  Each day is, and should be a celebration.  Each day can be counted a great success, provided we learn a little, or draw a little closer to the Lord and to each other.  This day was an opportunity to do both of those things for a mommy and her daughter.

The most fabulous thing of all today was a surprise speaker.  They prefaced her talk by showing this video by Hillary Weeks:

The woman who spoke was Stephanie Nielsen.  There was not a dry eye in the city, I bet.  As soon as they said her name, people started to bust out the Kleenex.  My heart leapt for joy to be in the same room with someone I so admire and look up to, and I will never forget her message. 

Ok, I really need to get some rest, tomorrow is a busy day for this Marvelous me...but I can hardly wait to share the notes I took on our little retreat.
Toodles friends!
