Glimpses of Reality

I saw it today, for just a moment. It was a beautiful answer to my prayers.

We were sitting in church. I looked over at my husband and caught a glimpse of the man he truly is. His honest, diligent, humble, good-to-the-bone self.

I prayed for that moment a few days ago. I prayed to be able to see my husband the way God sees him. 

Prayers are answered. People are worth so much more than we know. I caught a glimpse of that today when I looked at my dear husband. I pray I'll be able to remember this moment--to remember that we are all much more than we know--we are divine. In accordance, I pray to remember to treat others, and my self, as such.

"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." Doctrine and Covenants 18:10

Pinterest Pet Peeve.

Confession: I love pinterest. Confession #2: I hate "fitness" pins.

I hate them for a number of reasons. Because they objectify women. Because they induce self-loathing and guilt. Because they are often "soft" porn. Because they insinuate that thinness equates to happiness. Because they reinforce our society's unrealistic beauty ideals. Because they suggest that you are not enough.

You are enough. Stop degrading yourself. Your worth is not dependent upon your weight.

Let's just stop with the "fitness" pins. Okay?
