Welcome to the Soulful B Sisterhood!

Made with Rhonna Designs App

Dear sweet friends!  I'm so excited for the chance to introduce you to something new!

This summer has been an eye opener for me.

I've learned some things.

I've been reminded of some things.

I've had the opportunity to shift some things.

One of my big shifts is on this blog.

All of us in life get overwhelmed 

and at times we face challenges that seem insurmountable.

Of all the tools we can use to help us get through

what seems impossible, the most important is to

build a support team!

All we have to do is look through the scriptures,

look at the church,

look at all things around us,

and we will see that Heavenly Father

created all living things to support each other.

In Alma 8, we read about how

Alma goes to the city of Ammonihah

to preach to the people.

He is rejected and leaves.

An angel comes to him and 

tells him to to return to the city

and tell the people that if they 

don't repent the Lord will destroy them.

Alma returns to the city and 

meets a man named Amulek,

who feeds him and gives him a place to stay.

Amulek then supported Alma by going

with him to preach to the people.

He was Alma's support team!

In the church we have different organizations

that support each other.

Relief Society

Priesthood

Primary

Young Men

Young Women

Sunday School

They all work together!

Inside those organizations we have more support!

Visiting Teachers

Home Teachers

Presidencies

Bishoprics

Teachers

Librarians

Music Leaders

Music Players

All working together!

One of the best support teams 

Heavenly Father gave us when he sent us to earth 

is our Family!

I can't even begin to tell you all

the ways my dear sweet family 

has supported me throughout my life

and especially in the last three years

as I've come to discover and live

in my Soulful Brilliance.

Especially five special women.

Each of them has been a light for me.

Each of them has helped me remember

my greatness and light

when I couldn't see it.

They are just ordinary women like you and me.

They are my heroes.

I watch them doing quiet acts of service for others.

They change people's lives.

All without recognition.

They are amazing!

Each of us comes from a different stage in life.

Some of us are single.

Some of us are newlyweds.

Some of us are married with young children.

Some of us have been married for 32 years

with grown children and sweet grandchildren.

While we come from different stages,

Each of us has a firm testimony

born through great challenges and 

learning experiences.

We are each amazing examples of love

 and trusting in the Lord.

I'm so excited to tell you that 

they will all be joining us here on Soulful Brilliance!

We are starting what we've decided to call the 

Soulful B Sisterhood.

I don't want to tell you too much about them

so they can introduce themselves,

but here they are!

Brittnee has already been a part of the sbteam

from the beginning.  She and I dreamed

Soulful Brilliance up together!

She has been an amazing coach and mentor

for me throughout my life.

She taught me how to ride a bike.

She taught me about vision.

And she has been an amazing

example to me of always believing in yourself.

Beth also has been a part of the team for awhile.

She is the most amazing sister ever!

I have always loved her peacemaker personality.

She is an amazing example of overcoming

challenges and believing in your dreams!

Kenzy has been a member of the team 

for a short time. 

She is an amazing example of patience and perseverance.

She and I ran a marathon together

a little over three years ago.

I was tired and starting to slow down

and Kenzy just kept plugging on down the road.

She lives her life doing that same thing each day.

Alyssa is my amazing sister-in-law

and new to SB! I'm very excited

to have her with us.

She is an amazing example 

of charity and supporting others!

Nancy, whom I fondly call Mom,

is also new. I can't even think

of words that can full describe 

her greatness and brilliance.

Other than the Lord,

her testimony and support

have been the most important factor

in my success in life.

She is amazing!

Each month we will be discussing ways

to discover and live in 

our soulful brilliance.

We will also have a challenge

to work on together throughout the month!

Each week two sisters will post their thoughts

along with a small challenge to help you during the week.

Please comment on posts and share your stories!

You never know who you might be able

to support by sharing!

Also, use the hashtag #soulfulbsisterhood

on Facebook and Instagram to share!

September is the month you will

introduced to our sisterhood

and be given a short message

and challenge from the sisters.

This month I would just encourage you

to think about who has supported you

in your life.

Heavenly Father and the Savior

are our greatest supporters!

They love us so much,

they sent us to earth together

to help and lift each other.

One of my favorite quotes is 

from Lucy Mack Smith,

"We must cherish one another,

watch over one another,

comfort one another

and gain instruction,

that we may all sit down in heaven together."

The Relief Society organization in

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

has been an amazing support in my life.

I've had the opportunity to be taught by and to teach 

some amazing daughters of God.

It is an amazing place where 

we can come together

and support each other.

September Challenge

My challenge to you in this month of 

September is to 

look around you and 

choose some women in your

life who are or can be

a part of your support team.

Two of the best places to look are

in your FAMILY

and in your ward RELIEF SOCIETY!

Invite them to join your team

and to read Soulful Brilliance

and join us in the 

Soulful B Sisterhood!

When you have done this,

Post a picture of you with your team

on Instagram or Twitter 

using the hashtag #soulfulbsisterhood!

We really all need each other to 

make it through our lives and 

to reach our goals!
So let's work together!
Let's support each other!

We look forward to seeing your posts

and reading your comments!
