Dear Readers, Thank you for allowing me into your precious lives! I am thrilled with the opportunity to share and grow with you at LDS Families. Writing has been some part of my income since I was a teenager. Over time I’ve been fortunate to have worked for newspapers and publishing companies. I’ve also written radio commercials, video scripts and many articles for national and international publication. But I realize those accomplishments don’t “make” a writer. Those who scribble their thoughts on napkins, envelopes and sales receipt are true writers. It’s the drive to record our thoughts that defines all wordsmiths…not where those words finally appear.
Words can change lives. They can lift or they can destroy. I love uplifting, joyful words and the subject most joyous to me is my eternal family. There is significance in that term. An ‘eternal family’ links my family and the Savior’s Gospel into one, great whole—equal and inseparable. There is nothing more important to me than that; I can’t list one over the other. Thankfully, with the Lord’s plan, I don’t have to.
This is your site. The Lord and your families are important to you, too. That’s why you’re here. I am so grateful to be part of this international family, to learn from your experiences and insights. I hope you will feel free to share them with me and others who may need to read your words. Is there something you want to learn about; a question or concern you have about families? Let me know. Together we can grow in learning and friendship while we reverence the Savior, cherish our families and uplift each other.
That, to me, is a wonderful use of our words!
