26, we delighted in the music of violinist Jenny Oaks Baker and the words of Sister Virginia Pearce, a former counselor in the Young Women general presidency, and Deseret Book CEO Sheri Dew. Had I not received a single piece of enlightenment for myself, the weekend would have been worth every minute consumed, every dollar spent and every mile traveled to get there.įortunately, however, I have a notebook filled with inspirational thoughts and messages from the speakers and musical performers, so my proverbial cup was filled to overflowing. Nothing could make me happier than seeing my often-bored-with-churchy-things daughter inform me at each break that she wanted to make sure to get back on time so she wouldn’t miss a thing. Of the funny and spiritual Brad Wilcox, who shared a silly (but oh so effective) way to remember the names of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in order. Of the former American Idol finalist, Carmen Rasmusen, who is more concerned about following a path that leads to a relationship with her Savior than one that takes her to the top of the music charts. Of the Broadway music star, Sandra Turley, who sings like an angel and sets her priorities by what will bring her closer to her Heavenly Father. Imagine my delight, however, when she met up with me during our common breaks, eager to tell me what she had been learning. I wasn’t sure what to expect for the girls, since my daughter had never joined me before, but I felt confident it would be 100 percent excellent. This past weekend, in addition to meeting up with some dear friends, I attended with my 16-year-old daughter, since the "Seek the Good" event in Salt Lake City included a Time Out for Girls event. I’ve gone with my mother and sisters or with my girlfriends, and each time it’s a cherished getaway. And I have the adorable bags to prove it! I've attended events in Portland, Seattle, Reno and most recently, Salt Lake City. In the 10 years Deseret Book has put on these uplifting events, I don't believe I've missed a year. You could say I'm a Time Out for Women junky.
