Thank you for sharing this SWEET experience with us!
Your experiences:
As usual, TOFW was fabulous! I came home and was more patient and loving that I have been in a while. I evaluated my feelings and journaled a bit afterward and discovered that I was, in fact, sweetly assured!

It was fantastic! Looking forward to your coming back to Seattle with Time Out for Couples! Please!

What I know: I know that I can teach my family to communicate. Recently divorced and re married, 23 years of no communication and abuse have made this a hot topic for me! But I realized that just last week when I asked my daughter if she was done with her homework and she said, no, I told her to go get it done. A little later I asked her again, I'm half done. Told her to go finish. She went to her room, closed the door for about 10 minutes then came out and (without tears amazing for a 13yr old!) That if she does her homework 2 days before it is due, she forgets to hand it in. She has found that if she does half one day and the rest the day before it is due she remembers to hand it in on the due date. "Mom, I don't know why, it just works for me that way!" She intelligently thought it out and came to me and calmly communicated with me! This was huge! Yes, I do some things right, Yes, I can teach my family to communicate! Thank You so much!

I got so much out of Emily Freeman's discussion on how the miracle of the loaves and the fishes is all about Abundance. I came home and studied the account in John Chapter 6 and found additional insights into what the Savior was teaching us. I ended up with an outpouring of spiritual "loaves and fishes" as I studies and received "over and above" what I originally saw and understood. I am in awe and humbled by the feast I received and how I was "filled" and it was all sparked by what Emily taught us. THANK YOU!!

The world needs women who are prepared to take a stand during these significant days. And women who know the Lord and know themselves are able to see more clearly how they can make a difference. Our missions are personal, and our ability to know those missions and know the Lord comes from personal revelation. Learn how to recognize and receive the whisperings of the Spirit...for YOU.

Master of Music, Juilliard; former first violinist, National Symphony Orchestra; award-winning recording artist; albums include The Best of Jenny Oaks Baker, O Holy Night, and Silver Screen Serenade
You don't need an entire symphony when you're listening to the violin being played by the highly acclaimed and accomplished Jenny Oaks Baker. From the fun to the serene, Jenny's repertoire of music is an impressive musical feast.
Saturday
Top-selling female LDS artist; singer; songwriter; multiple Pearl Award winner; albums include He Hears Me, Day of Praise, and most recent, If I Only Had Today
She's an important part of TOFW because she really is just one of us. Hilary is a wife and a mother first and foremost; being a brilliant performer is secondary. She's funny and witty but has depth and substance as she shares her testimony of Jesus Christ through her songs.
Senior editor for Deseret Book Company; author, Take Two Chocolates and Call Me in the Morning and Confessions of an Unbalanced Woman
The fruits of motherhood are so agonizingly slow to ripen, it's hard to tell from day to day if the kids are going to "turn out right." Your child can be screaming her head off one moment and singing sweetly to her baby doll the next. (And no, that doesn't mean you've messed her up!) Emily has a message that assurance comes from knowing that Father in Heaven actually does trust us to raise His children. And He trusts us because He's with us every step of the way.
B.S., Therapeutic Recreation, Brigham Young University; author, Hard Times and Holy Places
Born with a rare form of eye cancer, Kris has spent most of her life blind in one eye. Recently, cancer returned, leaving her completely without sight. While her life circumstances might be unique, her story of healing doesn't have to be. Kris is blind, but she has experienced a healing-the kind of healing that comes through personal testimony of the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. She shares how similar healing is available to all of us, regardless of our circumstances.
Marriage and family counselor; nationally recognized speaker and trainer; author, Happily Forever After and If God Loves Me, Why This?
Do you remember the first time you rode a bike without training wheels? How did it go? Did you fall once or twice? Did you have a few bruises to show it? Every life phase has a period of "training time" before we should expect to ride without falling. God, as the ultimate parent, seems to be more patient with our "training time" than we are. Kim teaches four truths that will help you put the falls and the bruises of life in a little better perspective as you see God's love in your experiences.
Writer and songwriter; author, 21 Days Closer to Christ and Woman at the Well
When you think of an "abundant life," do you think of it as something you arrive at or something you create for yourself? Too many of us get caught up in saying "someday my life will be..." when really we can have that life NOW. Through her own personal journey proactively seeking a more abundant life, Emily shares three principles that will help you find your own. Don't wait for "someday"; discover that life today.
