For the first time in 6 years, I was able to truly enjoy our stake Women's Conference - since I was not in charge!! Everyone said, "How does it feel not to be worrying about all the details?" But frankly, I haven't even been thinking about it - out of sight is truly out of mind, I guess!
It was an inspiring conference, and I enjoyed just hanging out with Mom, Donna and Mary. Dawn was one of the class presenters - and she did a great job!! She had a "warm up" activity that was fun and very effective I thought. She also involved the class members, told some very relevant stories, and gave us lots of food for thought.
They printed this quote in the program. It is from George Eliot, and it has a lot of food for thought also:
"A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
Linda Reeves was the keynote speaker - it is always wonderful to visit with and listen to Linda. Suzanne Hix, the new Stake R.S. President, spoke about 3 friends who had made a significant contribution to her life and the direction it took. I enjoyed learning those things about Suzanne.
A nice Saturday morning - the Arcadia Stake Women's Conference is a great tradition - one I am proud to have been part of - and one I look forward to continue participating in!
