Thank you to all the writers. Deep thanks🙏🏻❤️ I have found that these pieces from At Last She Writes It are powerful material for morning or evening devotionals. I have loved them all. And the John O’Donohue quote -- thank you Emily.
Today I’m faced a very important decision that will determine what my life will look like moving forward. My intention and desire has been to discover what the Lord wants my decision to be and then do that. After reading Emily Wadley’s piece on choice I’m questioning my process. I’ve always sought direction through prayer and have found great peace knowing that when things have been hard I’m on the path supported by God. The path may be hard but it’s right. What would it feel like to shift from right to okay? My embracing of okay and not insisting on right feels scary and yet powerful - almost like adulting. I still don’t know what my decision will be. My process getting to that decision is going to be different after reading Emily’s piece.
I've been thinking a lot about that shift from right to okay also since reading this piece. I might have done a lot of things in my life differently if I hadn't felt I always had to pick "right" first. Good luck in your decision, Susan! Thanks for sharing. – S.
Thank you so much for that Barbie intro. I literally cried in the Barbie movie when she gave her speech. I do a widow luncheon once a month and asked if anyone had seen the movie. There was 8 of us and I was the only one who had watched it. One lady said she was told to "stay away from it". All of the other women had no interest in watching it, and it's probably just as well. I took my sister in law to watch it with me and she fell asleep. I also took my son's girlfriend to it. She laughed through the whole movie, and I think was very surprised when I told her I cried. She is the younger generation and not LDS so that is awesome that she didn't feel the need to cry. It is interesting, three women, three different experiences and outlooks. Mine was the hardest.

I cried too!
So interesting! I'm sorry yours was the hardest, Brenda. Also, yours is the one I understand best. 💔 Thanks so much for sharing with us. –S.
