An Entrepreneurial Journal

Add caption This week, I did something very productive. I honestly think it was one of the best things I've done to enhance my school experiences. I redid a time management schedule that was made for me in BYU Hawaii. This week I have been so overwhelmed with life, school, work, moving houses etc... and I really feel behind. We are in the process of moving and my aunt had to leave out of town and I hadn't had the three kids to myself since I started school. I nanny for her and with her going out of town along with her husband and trying to get work done on the new house I just really felt like a failure. It is late Saturday evening the kids are asleep and I am catching up on school. I felt hopeless. I really have been praying for help. Then I remembered feeling like this before and what helped me. I even made it fall colors. So I know that this doesn't go with the material but you know what, this is something I need to remember to see if this is a changing moment so whe...

The bucket list activity hit me hard. I was with my friend Clancey Black when I read about the assignment. I was watching the videos and listening to the songs. It brought a lot of feelings.

I thought at that point, for the amount of time waiting to hear back, that I wasn't going to have enough time to marry. So as I opened the assignment to create a bucket list of 50 things I wanted to do before I died I had my heart softened.  I realized how much I want to travel and how important my future family is to me.

I really felt like a lot of the readings applied to my life outside of class. Yes we all have troubles but because this is mostly for my benefit of looking back I just want to do a quick recap of the week. September 10 was the Worldwide devotional with Elder Bednar, I had an amazing time. Then the week after that felt sluggish. I wanted to have motivation and starting school didn't help, it was hard to find that determinations to keep going everyday. So as I began readings I was very touched by some of the words I read.  David A. Bednar wrote a talk we read this week. In it he quoted Doctrine and Covenants 4:2 which reads,  Picture found on: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8 &ved=0ahUKEwjuisejsarWAhVC_4MKHQtEAwUQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com %2Fpin%2F154459462192353099%2F&psig=AFQjCNHzC93plMRbFMpIpS_mkk_bfTnkyw&ust=1505674629546673 I really needed that reminde...
