Ponderize This – Wisdom

2 · Oct 12, 2015 · 1 Comment

Week one accomplished! Our family pondered this verse last week and it was so fun to see everyone’s different take on the verse from The New Testament. Are you wondering what this is all about? Here’s the low down…

Our family has accepted the Ponderize challenge from our Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint’s Annual General Conference (October 2015) from Devin G. Durrant. What does it mean to PONDERIZE?

To Ponderize is 80% extended pondering and 20% memorization of our scriptures.

It’s not just memorizing, it’s taking time to think about what the Lord would have us learn from the verse. It’s not hard, and even the kiddos can do it. Tonight for Family Home Evening our family is going to work on two different verses. The first verse is from The Book of Mormon Alma 37:35:

This one is more for the littles in the family. It’s a little shorter and easy to memorize.

The next one, more for the seasoned members of the family is from 2 Nephi 28:30:

It doesn’t matter what religion you are, let’s bring a little light into this world. Print the verse each week and take time to ponder about it’s meaning and then commit it to memory.

You can download the PONDERIZE printable HERE

This week, I decided to just do a 4×6 graphic for each verse that you can print and place in strategic places around your home. Hopefully we can grow closer to our Heavenly Father, closer to our families and to our communities by PONDERIZING these scriptures! Something else I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is biocentrism so I wrote a full post about it. Hint – I kinda debunked it.

FYI – I am completely aware of the ponderize craziness. I’m not going to take the time to go into here because we have decided as a family to not let the spirit of the message be tainted.

Women Helping Women

0 · Oct 12, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Today we unite as Women. Women helping Women.

I’m touched to be one of the many female online influencers who want to reach out and help; to be part of something bigger than just one because together we can all make a difference in the lives of women living in extreme poverty around the world.

I’m honored to introduce you to BeadforLife a non-profit organization who’ve been helping the poverty stricken women of Uganda, Africa for over a decade. What’s even cooler than that is they’re now ready to take those efforts to the world!

And we can lend a helping hand to Ignite 1 Million…

It starts with a spark

At BeadforLife they believe that every woman has within her a spark of potential and pride. They’ve been helping women find their spark in Uganda for the last decade – helping them leave poverty behind, for good. Women are able to gain the confidence they need and the business skills to succeed through entrepreneurial training programs. Now they’re ready to ignite that spark of potential for one million women around the world!

They have been working with women in Uganda who are among the poorest of the poor, helping them transform their lives and the lives of generations to come. Through the Beads to Business program, they’ve reached thousands of women, giving them the confidence and know-how to launch their own businesses. Their entrepreneurial training model works.

Other BeadforLife members never create a product for BeadforLife, but instead already own a tiny business or have a dream of one day owning a business. BeadforLife enrolls these entrepreneurs in The Street Business School, a 6-month program providing enterpreneurial training and mentoring to help them start and scale a business. This is a cost-effective and scalable way for women living in desperate poverty to get the opportunity to become successful business women.

Now we have seen that The Street Business School program works and we’re dreaming big. We’re taking this poverty eradication program to the world to ignite the lives of 1 million women! Over the next three years, we will be working with other like-minded organizations across the globe. We will scale The Street Business School model, tailoring it to new cultures and continents and building a network of trainers to help women rise out of poverty.

Join us as we ignite potential to end poverty! Make a direct donation or support the cause by visiting our Woman helping Woman Marketplace or making a purchase.

Click here for more information about how to host your own Marketplace either in-person or on-line! Help spread the word in your community by hosting an event! It’s so easy to be involved and with the holidays just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get a jump start on holiday gift giving!

This is the beautiful handmade Ignite Bracelet created for Ignite 1 Million campaign…

Together we can make a difference! It just takes one spark…
