"Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?"
-Doctrine & Covenants 6:23
Translation: You have your answer from Heaven. Why are you asking for more?
Merry Christmas everyone! I found this scripture tonight when I was catching up on some seminary work and like it so much that I highlighted it with sky-blue pencil and wrote it down in my notebook. If there's one thing I do most, it's looking for an answer after I already have the most important one. As a Christmas present, I'm offering you this verse along with some good old-fashioned advice: KISS. Keep it simple, stupid (or silly, or Susan, if that happens to be your name.) Don't overcomplicate things and everything will work out.
XOXO and Merry Christmas. And now Happy New Year as well.

An Alaskan Nutcracker
OPENING NIGHT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Let me gush for a moment:
I'm so glad to live in Sitka where I can dance and sing....but especially dance, after tonight.
I didn't have any of the big solos, but I wore a pretty red dress and pointe shoes. I didn't mess up....well, a little, but not enough to wreck anything. I hurt my shoulder during warm-ups but got through the entire show smiling.
And even while I know I'm not the best dancer in the world, and will probably never even be pro, there is nothing I'd rather do right now than exactly what I'm doing.
My best friends were up there looking for all the world like the Seniors that we are, and at the same time I was in a show with one of my little sisters and my brother, and my mom.
And I knew out in the audience my dad sat with my baby sister....who actually had a bloody nose for most of the second act.
And to think this morning I was missing Spanish speaking countries again.....well, I still miss them, but I feel so incredibly lucky to grow up here, in all the wet and cold and pot fumes (haha, kidding.) and dance and family and craziness that is my life.
I felt so beautiful tonight. I felt like everyone was beautiful.
Okay, done gushing.
