calmness

I went down to Woman's Conference today so I could attend the prayer meeting. I felt it when I walked into the room and saw all the other presenters actively talking...my emotions heightened, the butterflies hit. It became real.

You wouldn't believe it then when I say how calm I feel right now. Peaceful. It's a welcome feeling especially since I started this journey feeling so uncertain.



I guess it true what they say, when you're prepared you have no need to fear. For 120 days I've thought about and sought inspiration for my presentation. I've had many afternoons at the temple, fasting and prayers, searching the scriptures and words from the prophets. There have been tears, a couple breakdowns, an unintentional loss of one draft and starting over. I've had multiple meetings with the other two woman I'm presenting with and many conversations with Adam & friends. Still with all the work that has gone into this and the hours I've spend working, it's a surreal moment to see it here. It came so fast and yet, at times, it didn't come fast enough.

Snow is falling, my bed is calling, I have just a couple revisions to make before I get off the computer for good, and still need to decide what I wearing tomorrow. Yep, still haven't figured that one out. I know crazy. But I wanted to thank all of you who are coming and to those who have sent your encouraging words. It means more to me than you will know.

Good night.
