  1. Remember, you can be exalted without a college degree. You can be exalted without being slender and beautiful. You can be exalted without having a successful career. You can be exalted if you are not rich and famous. So focus the best that you can on those things in life that will lead you back to the presence of God - keeping all things in their proper balance.
  2. I surely know that there is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood.

  8. I believe our Heavenly Father's everlasting purpose for His children is generally achieved by the small and simple things we do for one another. At the heart of the English word "˜atonement' is the word "˜one.'

We would strive to emulate the Savior and would never be unkind, indifferent, disrespectful, or insensitive to others.
  9. I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
  10. The love for work needs to be re-enthroned in our lives. Every family should have a plan for work that touches the life of each family member so that this eternal principle will be ingrained in their lives.
