Quotes and Happenings from BYU Women’s Conference Day 1

Posted in Uncategorized by

Whew. I’ve been women’s conferencing since I left my house at 7:15 this morning. I’m the good kind of tired.

Reverse chronological order. Got it?  I’ll be tweeting more tomorrow, but probably not quite as often because 1) I have my book signing for a couple hours in the morning, and 2) it was harder work than I thought it would be.  Behold my glorious Thursday:

  1. This was great to read through–thank you for taking the time to do it!
    I love #13 and #21. Awesome.
    The picture of the line is both funny and sad. My Mom and my sister saw the line and went to another class at the same location. Only 3 other people attended that class and my mom said it was really good. I felt so bad for the presenter.
    Good luck with your book signing today!! I’ll be thinking of you from clear over here.

  2. Thank you, thank you for sharing these tidbits of wisdom. I wasn’t able to go to Women’s Conference and was feeling somewhat deprived. I also really, really enjoy your blog.

  3. That was just what I needed to start my day – especially since I seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

    Keep the sharing coming. One of these years I am going to attend this conference in person 🙂 !!
