Bikes, Burritos, and Basketball

Today I'm grateful for bikes, burritos, and basketball, and in that order.

I took my foldable bike to work today and it made my warehouse runs super more fun. I was seriously able to cut my time finding products in half. And it was SO fun to pedal through the warehouse. I turned heads aplenty. I was bobbing and weaving between the 30-foot high product aisles and dodging forklifts and workers left and right. Such a blast! One of the things I love about myself is that I do things my way. I had so many people just think I was the coolest and honestly, I wasn't trying to be cool, I was just doing what sounded smart and fun.

Then, after arriving home, Luke and I mounted my Yamaha Zuma and ran errands. It was my first time pulling out my scooter since October. It was a warm day so the cool air felt epic as we cruised to Smith's and Cal Ranch. We had a blast trying to balance all the groceries and supplies we purchased. We were definitely over the prescribed weight limit of 250lbs, but my motorbike handled it like a champ. I was reminded of why I love bikes so much. They make me feel free, fast, and alive!

Equally grateful am I for Cafe Rio--especially their enchilada-style sweet pork burritos. So grateful that my kids also love it too. We had a splendid time dining there tonight, despite the 40-minute long wait in line. The food only tasted the more delicious for it.

Then we capped the night with game 7 of the Jazz vs. OKC. It was an intense game and Donovan Mitchell led Utah to a crucial win. I love everything about today. I'm going to get in my PJs now and read my new Dan Brown book, Origen, in bed. Good Night!

Holy Treason

I don’t know if you’re like me or not, but I was born into the one and only “true” religion of God. I spent my entire life studying and living the principles and teachings of my faith. I knew the doctrine, and I believed it to be true. Until I didn’t. The road to the unraveling of my faith is a rather long one—definitely another article for another day--but suffice it to say, I began studying other religions and realized that all of them contained beautiful truths. I felt as uplifted and inspired while reading their scriptures as I did reading mine. I understood why some referred to religion as a “faith culture” for I was now aware that had I been born and raised in a different religion, I’d have believed that religious tradition to be true. I came to see religions as merely vehicles leading us back to God. Surely God didn’t care whether his children drove jalopies or Jaguars so long as they were moving along the superhighway back to Him. Or could it be her? Or perhaps there wasn’t ju...

Relationships

I've been thinking a bit about relationships. I'm seeing them differently than I've ever seen them before. First, I realize that relationships are created in our minds. What we think about our relationships defines them. If I think my daughter is ungrateful, I will see ingratitude in all her actions. If I tell myself my coworker is annoying, I will find him extremely so.  And so it goes. What we think about others creates how we relate to them. So why not think happy, positive, loving thoughts about the people we relate with? We absolutely have the power to create amazing relationships by changing the way we think about our relations. Second, I've been thinking about the importance of loving the people in our life for who they are, not for what we need them to be. People need freedom to be who they want to be. If you love someone, you don't try to change them. That isn't love. Love is accepting someone for who they are and where they are right now. Love know...

His Light Lives On

Page told me during breakfast this morning that President Thomas S. Monson passed away last night. The realization that a great soul had left this mortal life washed over me. I wanted to pay tribute to him today so I decided I would take his framed picture with me to work and set it aside a lighted candle. It would be my way to acknowledge the illuminating affect he has had in my life and the life of so many others, as well as signify that his light lives on. Here's how it looked:   I moved him throughout the day so that I could always see him. I also spent some time reading some of his most beloved quotes. I felt his presence and my love for his great soul increased. Some of the quotes I shared with others throughout the day include: Decisions determine destiny Your future is as bright as your faith   Search inward. Reach outward. Look heavenward Never postpone a prompting We can't direct the wind but we can adjust the sails It's always b...
