Endurance and Perseverance

It has been a long time since I have been close enough, yet outside enough of something to watch the Adversary fight so strongly against it. I told you about my friend Donna's new websites and that I was going to do some editing. I am amazed at the fight this has been. Everything that can go wrong technically has gone wrong. Huge, multiple computer viruses, modems, routers, connections, hardware, software and everything in between has been breaking and failing. There were several people like me who were doing content proofing. One came down with kidney attacks, another fibromyalgia, another was told she had to move. I even came down with some sort of walking pneumonia. Fortunately, it was mild, but it still knocked me out for a while and I still have a bad cough. She has had family members helping her who got sick or had their babies get sick. Today was the scheduled launch, yet with hurricane Irene last weekend, her server was down. They are only now able to upload content to the sites. She will not be able to launch the site until next week.

It was already a push to get these up. Many areas have already started their school year, so those aspects of the sites related to schooling will be too late for some; at least for this year. There are always those who mid year decide to do a course change and this will be available for them. Of course the aspects not directly related to school will be there, but the impact for this year has rather effectively been hampered.

I knew this was important and has the potential to affect generations for good, but watching this fight has only added to my testimony that this is so important and essential for our time. I am going to continue to help where I can.

My summer

I know, it's been ages. I have been having a wonderful summer and learning so many new things. But I should probably give my little update now before I get going on more projects. I finished my second term so I had a little break. The way WGU is set up, I can get a bit of a head start on next term so I did a few assignments during July. My 3rd term starts tomorrow. I will have a constant but doable pace to maintain and still be able to breath and sleep in if I need to. (Right now that is a must have option).


Steven is now a Deacon. My little man is growing up. I am quite excited. (Let me tell you a secret, although I love little people, I love youth. I am so excited to have teens in my home!)

Isaac and Steven went to cub scout camp. Steven helped in the Archery activity. They both loved it. The next week Steven and Jonny went to Boy Scout camp. They had a great time. I actually had a difficult time not hearing from them the whole time. Wow, I am spoiled.

I have found a Bee Keeping mentor. I have wanted bees for so long. Now I have someone who can walk me through it. I can get everything ready this fall so I can be ready for my own next spring.


I was led to some fabulous information and books this last month. I love how things come to me just as I need them. I now feel that I have some needed tools to make my dreams come true. Does that sound silly? Well I mean it just as I said it. I have some definite dreams. I know they are there, pretty close, actually. I am working toward them, and now I have been given some fabulous help to move closer to those. This will give you a taste of what I mean. If you are interested, I will share with you what I have learned from this. Give me a call.


Friend Cindy got me reading some more of Chaim Potok's books. I read the two Asher Lev books. Not only are they great stories, but WOW, THAT MAN CAN WRITE! I am learning more about Jewish culture, which I find very interesting.


Two organizations are being built that I am very excited about. Friend Elizabeth is sharing with me about what is happening in Monticello, UT and Monticello College. The more I hear, the more excited I am. What they are doing with the college is very much like what I am wanting to do with my school. I would love to be involved in that project. Hopefully, at some point soon, I will be. Second, is Friend Donna's projects. She has built two organizations, Moorhouse Academy, an online LDS school/home school, and Princess Academies: an organization for Mother's and Daughters as they learn the skills, and build the tools needed for their roles as women and mothers. Both are seperate, stand-alone organizations, but they are complementary too. She is redoing both websites from scratch and updating content. She is working like a mad woman to get it all up and ready for launching Labor Day. This one I can help with now. I am helping her proof it and get it all ready. I so very much believe in what Donna is doing. I strongly believe that this work will impact lives and generations for good and am so excited to be a part of it. I am going to spend much of this month in helping where ever and however I can. I will let you know more about it when the time comes for it to be unveiled.

Well, that is what I am up too.
