Hello everyone! Well its time to update this website with the latest and greatest that's be happening in my single world. I needed to take a break and boy it did a world of good for me! I have learned alot, thought alot, and did alot! I would like to share my thoughts with you all again in hoping I can help others in my similar or same situation.

I used to think I could never be alone or I just had to have a companion no matter what. Over the last year I have thought and thought about this and have decided I have a pretty nice life and I am just going to serve the Lord and be my best self and see what happens.

It has been a fun journey. I have been a part of two different singles groups. The first one was helping out with a singles pot-luck group. I have met a lot of friends ( female and male) in this group and have had a lot of fun along the way. We put on wonderful pot lucks every 1st Sunday of the month. I have never missed being there one time. We have had Mexican, Hawaiian, Irish and many other fun singles dinners and activities. I went with the attitude that I was just going to go to serve others and meet some new single friends. We have had three people get married from the group. One of the gals was 71 years old and in a wheel chair and she married a cute guy that just wanted to take care of her. My other cute girlfriend Beth met a guy in Virginia and married him! I was invited to their weddings and it has been both rewarding and great fun! I am also involved with the singles firesides in Draper. We invite the people from both groups to do things. We have had great well known speakers at these firesides.

I have had some fund dates along the way. I always go on the date with a great attitude and try to look and be my best. If it doesn't work out then I say well at least he can be a friend or I can line him up with someone else. You see- always having the good attitude is what is most important. Also I have been making a few changes here and there with in myself so I can be what I want to attract. We even have an 85 year old in the group and he brings his pot luck dish every Fast Sunday like clock work!

Hey he is a nice guy and available!

So I have I have had to learn patience, never give up, and to be greatfull for the life I have! Please stay tuned......there is alot more I am going to share wtih you.....Beverly

"Ruff" and Tough Times

2012-06-04T12:51:00.000-07:00

Well hello everyone . Boy it has been a rough and I mean rough couple of weeks.Sometimes when things are this tough on us we tend to feel we are being picked on don't we. Well I need to remember I am a tried and tested individual like we all are. Sometimes maybe a little more for me!!

It all started a couple of weeks ago when my boss pulled me aside and told me we were all losing our jobs on his team. I was just mortified! I have been working on this project for 2 1/2 years and absolutely love it in every way shape and form! The pay was excellent as well as the hours and everything else. I loved helping people get out of debt and build wealth! It was very rewarding. Needless to say everyone of us on the team felt so bad we all loved our jobs. Well the blessing in all this is they moved all of us to other jobs (projects) in the company which was nice. I guess you could say at least I have a job. Well I am now selling the Neat scanner and organizer. I am sure you have seen the Infomericals on T.V. It is kind of fun --I mean everyone I talk to--almost everyone wants one..It kind of sells itself. But my pay was cut in half and that is a real bummer!!!!!!!

All the best of the best sales people that came with me are now looking for other jobs. I guess they want more pay. Its funny how you can love what your are doing and love the people you work with and then all of sudden -poof- its all gone. Life sometimes is so rough and tough I just can't believe it. But I do believe this is the way life works out sometimes! I am working real hard on the idea that I need to control my life more not let it control me!!! Or at least control what I can.

Also a few other things that happened to me this last past week to make life even better. My daughter (Cherise) got locked in our new shed that my handyman just built. I was in the kitchen and could hear her screaming and yelling! I just ignored her thinking she was just kidding after all I just saw her so how could anything have just happened? I could not tell where she was. Then the screaming got louder and louder so I ran outside to see what the heck just happened only to find her locked in our new shed. She said: " Mom let me out"! I told her: "You come on out of there now! She replied: " I can't mom the handle just spins around and must be broken!" Any way I looked around and found the key and let her out. She then asked me to go in the shed and see for myself that the door handle was not working. I said to her: "I can see that it does not work." She says go inside and see for your self and see if you can fix it...please!!! So she locks me inside, meanwhile I don't even realize that I have both keys to the shed in my hand! So I am now locked in the shed with the keys and it is close to 100 degrees outside and I am just frantic. So I am yelling at her at the top of my lungs telling her of all the stupid things and she is laughing her head off. I crouch down to try to hand her the keys through a tiny little hole and I drop them and they get stuck. Luckily my handy man (Stan) is there and he can hear all he commotion and comes running outside to help. Well I finally get the keys to go through the hole and they let me out after a near nervous breakdown. I let Cherise really have it..but she started laughing at me calling me a big scaredy cat and then we all just stood there laughing and what a big joke! But Stan is the man and went right to work fixing the door handle!

Then last night I came home form work after a hard day on the new job. I had just pulled in the driveway. I got out of the car when I decided to go to the mailbox and get the mail. I no sooner looked up and there was the neighbors raging pit bull charging at me and barking crazy out of her mind! I was scared to death. I dropped all my mail on the ground and was so afraid!! I tried to remain calm and reason with the dog but she would not back off and she was showing her fangs like a savage beast. She kept on after me and backing me clear down to the neighbors house. A crazy man was walking by and I asked him for help but he was mentally handicapped and was trying to ward the dog off but he wasn't much help. This dog would not let me go up my driveway and go home!!!!So I ran to the neighbors and borrowed there phone and called 911. The neighbors (Matt and Michelle) came out and tried to help and offered the dog doggie treats and she still would not back off!!!! She wasn't buying any of it!! So of course all of the sudden here comes the dogs owner driving up and gets out of the car and puts his dog away! He was not happy!!! So it was not fun. A few minutes later animal control came out and gave the guy a sitation. They said this was not the first time this dog has gotten out and went a mad spree. The officer said he has chased this dog before. So he new at least we were telling the truth. I felt bad for the neighbor but we can't have a mad pit bull constantly out terrorizing everyone............... So just another day in the fun filled life of a single gal named Beverly.......

Singles Fun Made Possible through Prayers and Blessings!

2012-05-17T12:17:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! I just wanted to tell you I am enjoying my single life a lot. I have met quite the nice group of single friends both male and female and it has been so fun! We enjoyed our usual Break your Fast-Sunday Potluck today! It was so much fun and I invited a gentleman whose wife had just passed away a few moths ago. He was so grateful to have company and he did not have to cook for once.

Our Italian friend Vince made a home made quiche. Everyone brought their special treats they made for the dinner. They are always so proud of what they make. We are becoming quite the group and had such a nice visit.

Last night we had a big Cinco De Mayo party at my friends Beth Maynes house and it was so fun. We had a huge taco buffet with every kind of dip and chip and toppings for tacos you could imagine!!We played horseshoe and I was so bad at it- I threw it and almost hit a guy in the head with the iron horseshoe!!!! He was standing down at the end by the horseshoe stands but he was way over on his side . When I threw it, it darn near hit him and the whole group started laughing their heads off!! Boy, I better never play baseball or even throw a Frisbee you never know where it might land!!! Ha! Ha!

They had one the most beautiful pinatas I have every seen. It was a real pretty metallic blue and white color with giant streamers hanging down from it. So several of us were blindfolded and we tried to hit the giant pinata that was chalk full of candy. We were so full from dinner it was too much to run and pick up all the candy. Its funny how things change when you get older. I thought to myself where are all the little kids when we need them!!

After that we learned how to dance. My girlfriend brought some Latin and Mexican music and we learned several different steps of Latin dancing. The guys had so much fun they all got up and tried to learn the dances and had a great time. Ya know if we were all married the guys would have left or sat on the sidelines probably!!We did not have any wall flowers. I felt like a kid or rather a young teen again it was so much fun!!!!We were doing some rumba, samba and cha-cha steps and many other dance steps I had not even heard of. I had a dance partner that was a cute 67 year old. He was so fun and full of energy. He was buzzing me all around that dance floor like none other. You would of swore he was Fred Astaire! I was so out of breath it wasn't funny and boy it's a sin to get old. His wife had died too and you would never know it he was having such a good time last night.

My friend went to a lot of trouble and put up a lot of cute decorations for the party. To say the least it was a fabulous fun time for all that attended! Well I just want to say I am extremely grateful and so blessed to have such great friends. I was so alone and I prayed and prayed and prayed. Boy be careful what you pray for. I now have 3 million friends and my calendar is full up every week with invites and things to do. Well everyone adios for now!!! Beverly

Spring Time - A New Beginning

2012-04-04T21:30:00.007-07:00

Well everyone this is my favorite time of year. The flowers are blooming, the grass is getting green, birds are chirping, and their are wonderful smells of Spring in the air! People are starting to mow their lawns. Its also my favorite time of year because its a time to reflect and remember our lord and savior Jesus Christ and his resurrection.

This was a new beginning for him and the world just like Spring is a new beginning for the earth and mother nature. It's an awakening for both spiritual and temporal things. It is also a fun time to reflect on fond memories of the past and to watch some good old biblical movies. Some fun movies to watch would be The Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, the Robe, Sparticus, and many others. My favorite character was "Moses" in The Ten Commandments wasn't he great!! I remember as a young child sitting in Sunday school and seeing pictures of Jesus and learning about him. I loved to hear all his great parables he told. I remember walking home form church this time of the year and smelling all the sweet flowers and watching the bees buzz around. I would watch the different birds fly by and feel the warm sunshine pouring down upon my soul. What a great time of year this was and is!

Being single and living alone forces you to ponder the good old days and memories from the past. I'm sure we all do this at one point or another in our lives. I have been living a lot in the past, watching a lot of old movies and day dreaming about days gone by. Lately I have been trying to live more in the present. I am trying to get more excited about the future and whats to come. I have been making a lot of new friends. It is a lot healthier to not expect so much out of life but to expect the very best out of ourselves! Then we don't become so upset and we feel that we are more in control of our lives. We do not become so disappointed and so dissatisfied with life.

My friend Beth has decided to hold family home evening at her home every Monday night! She had a husband pass away in tragic traffic accident while she was there. But she is not letting that get her down and is choosing to serve others! She has invited a speaker and is having a big barbeque at her home on April 14th for all us singles.

I have had such a better attitude about going to these functions. I have just tried to go and enjoy every ones company! I am not worrying about whether or not there is a cute guy there for me to meet. I am not thinking just because the guys are not so cute or people are older and different that I can't have fun! Its all about just enjoying peoples friendships and enjoying life and doing service! I am now trying to do things the Lords way and not Beverlys way!!! I am trying not to worry so much. Life is a whole lot better this way. And this is truly Springtime and my new Beginning!!........Beverly

Irish Traditions Down Memory Lane

2012-03-06T10:18:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Well it's that time again, it's the month of March. I love March and St. Patrick's Day it's a fun time of year. It also means it is almost Spring-time. I hope you all have fun traditions you do to celebrate St. Patrick's day. My son went on a mission to Ireland and I actually went over there to pick him up off his mission. It was a super fun trip and quite an undertaking for a single gal like me. He took us to see a lot of different sites and places. I took my oldest daughter Crista with me. Cameron (my son) took us to see the port where the Titanic sailed out of. We saw the cliffs of Moore where the Movie " Princess Brides was filmed". The cliffs are 1000 feet high! We ate their traditional Irish Fish and chips which means you eat it with malt vinegar and no Ketchup or tartar sauce. It was good but I still like it with the sauces better. We went to downtown Dublin and of course went shopping and had a good time buying a lot of good souvenirs. Dublin has very colorful buildings and is very crowded. We ate at some local cafes and had some very good sandwiches. We went to the beach with my son's Bishop and their family. Boy, did we have a lot of fun. We took a drive through the woods to get there. We played ball once we got there and chased the seagulls. They took us on a tour and showed us some fun places.

The people we stayed with ( the McDonalds) were very hospitable. They were the family Cameron lived with while he was there on his mission. Mrs McDonald made us a very good traditional Irish dinner one Sunday afternoon. She served us a very good pot roast and potatoes with vegetables and a very good pink- jello- parfait- type dessert. He knew a very nice gal that went to his ward. We called her the pink lady because she loved the color pink. She wore a lot of pink clothes and she had a lot of pink colors throughout her house. She was such a sweet lady. We visited another lady up in Bangor Ireland or near there. She had a lovely home done in lemon yellow and red colors.She had two very sweet daughters that we very pretty. Later on after his mission they came to visit us. We also went to some very nice stores. I bought some Waterford crystal because that is where they make it. Cameron bought some Tipperary crystal because they also have the factory there where they make it and he served part of his mission there.

The scenery was spectacular and very beautiful. It rains a lot over there so the country side looks like patchwork green quilts and is very green. There were a lot of cows, lambs and animals all over the hillsides. We visited some very old castles of course. They were very ancient . Cameron did a very excellent job of driving on the wrong side of the road over there!! I noticed the cars did not pull out in front of you . If they saw you coming no matter how far back you were they would patiently wait till you drove by. There were a lot of trees and bushes by the very narrow roads we traveled. The people there drive very fast as well. I could go on and on but what a fun trip it was!! We also ate breakfast at his Stake or Branch Presidents home. He lived in a quaint little old cottage. He served us all kinds of fried foods, cereals, juices, milk, meats and pig's blood if you can believe that!!! So I hope you all have a fun St. Paddy's Day and stay tuned for some fun ideas on green dips and tips because we are doing a special class on this and I will share it with you next time......Beverly...

My Birthday!

2012-02-20T11:23:00.000-08:00

My friends decided to throw me a nice Birthday party for my 58th Birthday this last weekend. Its was a pot-luck event. There were many nice people there. The food was delicious and inviting! It is so hard to be out here in the dating single world no matter how nice people are and it is just a day to day struggle. I feel like the older we are the more lax we are and the more we divulge about ourselves. Sometimes its just plain awkward. Never-the-less the night seemed to have a lot of fun in store for us.

As the night progressed we all sat by people we knew and had a great time eating and talking. A friend of mine brought her mother who was elderly. She was a real sweet-heart and I had a fun time getting to know her. She had a nice smile, great personality, and was a lot of fun! I told her what a cute lady she was and she would have to come to the next party. She said to all of us that she was too old. I let her know that she was never too old to have fun! She just smiled back at me.

My friend ( Chris) made a giant gorgeous red-velvet sheet cake covered with chocolate dipped strawberries and boy was it beautiful sight to behold! I was so grateful to her for all her thoughtfulness and hard work. She just barely met me last week but yet she was willing to make me this enormous birthday cake. There was also a nice lady there making Indian fry bread (scones) in the kitchen- that were great! A nice man from Italy was so proud of his spaghetti fritada he made for us. My other friend that put the party on, (Beth) is really getting in the swing of things and wanting to host these pot-luck parties. It is so fun to see her enthusiasm, even though she lost her husband a few years ago. These ladies had a nice little event going until I came on the scene and started exploding with ideas. I have helped turn this event into quite the fun party! Now we are having pot-luck events twice a month and people are inviting their friends. So they are catching on. I was down to zero friends almost and now I have tons. I did it all through prayers with our Father in Heaven. So, for me this turns out to be a nice support group since I didn't have one. The lesson learned here is, if you don't have much family you have to create one and life goes on......Beverly

Darned if You Do - Darned if You Don't

2012-01-29T15:08:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone hasn't it been a fun start to the new year? I want to share some of the struggles I have had being back in the dating world.

I have been single so long I have hardly ever left the dating world ha.. ha..! I recently attended a fun singles "break your fast potluck" and had a very nice time. I was a little apprehensive to go at first but when I got there everyone was so nice and friendly. There was mostly women there but there was one older Italian man there. He was very brave to be there with so may women , never the less, he brought his home baked bread and joined in all the fun. What a brave soul.

Well, I thought the ladies there were so nice and I felt bad that there was not more men there for them to meet. So I really wanted to help them and make this singles pot luck a big success and draw a lot more people out to it. There are a lot of older single ladies that attend and I thought if they could only meet their prince charming wouldn't that be wonderful for them. Me included of course!! So I set out and did a lot of advertising and told everyone I possibly could. I made fliers, emailed a lot of single guys, contacted a few different wards, and called everyone I knew! I was just sure this was going to be the best most successful singles event ever. This was going to be my ticket and these other sweet ladies to meeting our soul-mates! I invited some cute guys and one of which I had previously dated. So I was so excited for the big event to start!

When I got to the singles pot luck with my delicious food I had prepared, I noticed all the men were there early and siting at the same table. There sat a cute guy I had invited form the Layton area. He was 7 years older than me but so what. Well pretty soon everything stared falling apart. I had invited my young 25 year old daughter just for fun. The gal in charge had set up rectangular tables in a u shape and as we sat down we had our backs to ever one. So I told my daughter (Cherise) lets move and sit by all the guys that I invited I don't just want to talk to you. So we moved and I ended up sitting across form a guy that I had had one date with and right next to the cute one from Layton. I didn't want to be obvious but there was no other way to do it. Soon all the people came and we all had fun talking and mingling. But nobody was really clicking and all the gals started talking to the guy I liked. Then My dramatic girlfriend came in way late because she could not find the place so she was all upset. I told her about the cute guy from Layton so she went and sat by him. Then he just decided to up and leave and not tell anyone. So he quietly sneaks out.

After that everyone started leaving. The guy I had dated (Glen) left early because his eyes were hurting. Then my girlfriend (Karen) the late one, decided I needed to email her phone number to the (Layton) guy I liked. So like a fool I did. Then my daughter (Cherise) says I looked too obvious by sitting right next to the Layton guy. So I got my feelings hurt.

To sum everything up I wish I could go back in time and start over! I just wanted to help us all meet some cute guys and why did I email my girlfriends phone number to the guy I liked??! So live and learn! I was just trying too hard to please everyone else! I hope I learned a very good lesson the hard way. I do not want to try so hard and go overboard and I want to please myself as well.

Stay tuned for more fun of dating through the eyes of a dissapointed 57 year old!!...Beverly

Start of a New Year and a New Life

2012-01-16T20:12:00.000-08:00

The start of a new year is a time to see where we are going, measured against the backdrop of where we have been. Let's talk about the past and the future with an eye toward any time of transition and change in in our lives-and those moments come every day.

As a new year begins and we try to benefit from a proper view of what has gone on before, I plead with you not to dwell on days now gone nor to yearn vainly for yesterdays, however good those yesterdays may have been.The past is to be learned from but not lived in! We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us with us the best that we have experienced, and then we look ahead and remember that faith is always pointed toward the future. Faith always has to do with blessings and truths and events that will yet be efficacious in our lives.To yearn to go back to a a world that cannot be lived in now, to be perennially dissatisfied with present circumstances and have only dismal views of the future, and to miss the here and now and tomorrow because we are so trapped in there and yesterday.

There is something in many us of that particularly fails to forgive and forget earlier mistakes in life-either our mistakes or the mistakes of others. Its is not good. It is not Christian. It stands in terrible opposition to the grandeur and majesty of the atonement of Christ. To be tied to earlier mistakes is the worst kind of wallowing in the past from which we are called to cease and desist. Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve. Is that faith? Yes! Is that hope? Yes! Is that charity, the pure love of Christ. Perhaps at this beginning of a new year there is no greater requirement for us that to do as the Lord Himself said He does: " He who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord remember them no more."

God doesn't care nearly as much about where you have been as He does where you are and, with His help, where you are willing to go. This is an important matter to consider at the start of a new year-and every day ought to be the start of a new year and a new life! Such is the wonder of faith, repentance, and the miracle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Keep your eyes on your dreams and goals. Live to see the miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust, and divine love that will transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever.............Beverly

Happy New Year!

CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE YEAR

                                                   A little bit of Christmas lives.
                                                   Within the heart each day,
                                                   When you do a kindly dead,
                                                    Give a word of cheer away.
Why should we save our kindnesses
                                                     For just one special time---
                                                     The world needs love and caring
                                                     When Christmas bells don't chime!

                                                      Reach out a hand to help someone:
                                                      Cheer some heart today.
                                                      The gifts that mean the most
                                                      Aren't those for which we pay.

                                                      Those tinseled scenes have faded
                                                      That mark the yuletide cheer,
                                                      Christmas living in the heart
                                                      Grows brighter through the year!

Well I just want to wish everyone a very " Merry Christmas" and a very " Happy new Year 2012" Yea!!! Celebrate big!!!!......................See you next year! Beverly

I Really Have a Wonderful Life

2011-12-12T09:45:00.000-08:00

I watched a great movie on TV the other night. It was that good old favorite Holiday classic that most of you watch every year, it's called "A Wonderful Life." It is really a good Christmas movie! I really got into it this year. As I sat and watched it I realized I really do have a wonderful Life.

I could relate to George Bailey as he went through all his trials and started hating his miserable life and his job at the old broken down Building and Loan Company. What really started out all his problems was his attitude. He had a bad attitude when he was dating Mary, his childhood friend. She had liked him all through school. She had to coax him to be nice to her and to date her. His brother later went on to be a war Hero. George did not get to pursue his dreams because his dad died early on and he had to take over the bank and protect his assets and the people of the town from that mean old Mr. Potter. He nearly drowned as a kid and couldn't hear out of one of his ears. Also his friend Sam Wayne-wright was a great success in the plastic Industry and so George was a quiet jealous of him. So everything was going wrong in his life. Things just just kept getting worse and worse. His wife Mary was so kind and loving through all this. Finally when the money from the bank gets misplaced or taken and is gone he has had it! He now wants to jump off a bridge and end his life!

How may of us have felt this way at one time or another? Most of us can relate to this story. I know I can. Every Christmas Season gets really hard for me . Its a busy time of year that can make or break us. Well luckily George has an angel that comes from Heaven and saves his life. He helps George see that he really had a wonderful life after all. It took George almost loosing his life ad never being born to realize just how good he had it! He truly had a great wife and family that loved him. He may have not been rich monetarily but he was rich in his blessings.

Well the same goes for me and probably most of us. This great movie helped me realize I have a wonderful life! I am trying to be the most up beat I have ever been through the Holidays! I am trying to be the most giving I have ever been and I am trying to live do all the commandments better than I ever have. I am trying to truly have a Christ centered life! This is where I will find my salvation and my happiness. Going to the temple helps me tremendously. It protects me from the out side evils of the world. The most important thing we can ever do is to remember and love our Savior Jesus Christ. Especially this time of the year. What gifts can we truly give him this Christmas? We need to invite his spirit into our homes and be as loving, kind, forgiving, and tolerant as he was. He is truly our King of Kings.

So at the end of the movie "Its a wonderful Life" George Bailey is given his Life back. He doesn't care if he goes to jail as long as he can have his family and his life everything else is secondary! So he gets his second chance. All his friends, neighbors, and customers came to his aide and rounded up all the money he was missing and gave it to him so he would not go to jail for something he did not do. Isn't this a great story with a great powerful message that really teaches us whats important in this life!

Well I wish you all a very "Merry Christmas" and a joyous Happy Holiday Season!..........Beverly

Listening to the Spirit Gets us Around Big Stumbling Blocks

2011-11-29T21:35:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone and I hope you are enjoying your beautiful Fall Season and giving thanks for all the wonderful things we have and enjoy in this world of ours. The article before last I wrote about a Red Hot week and how I had several little warnings that I did not heed to because I was being a bull head. I learned that I need to slow down and listen to the still small voice. The promptings come as a way to lead and guide us in and protect us in this life. Stumbling blocks are put in our way sometimes to teach us various lessons and prepare us for whats to come. But we need to use building blocks in our lives to help pave the way to a happy future. We can not pick and choose some of our trials but we can choose how we are going to get around them, survive, and be happy!

My oldest daughter went with me yesterday to a nice neighborhood Turkey Dinner. She lives out in Eagle mountain and it costs a lot of gas money to go to and from there to Sandy. They have made several trips this week. Her husband said she could come and bring all their kids if I would give them a ride back home. He was going to play Hockey at the oval and wanted to bring the smaller car to conserve on gas. He had already made one trip in and had to come back. So I agreed and said I would help drive them home. Later that afternoon I was standing in the kitchen and received a confirmation or prompting from the still small voice that I would not have to drive the kids home, that Todd would bring the van and drive them home. Later as the turkey dinner was getting over I told my daughter well I better drive you guys home. She replied back: "Todd is coming with the van so you won't need to drive us back to eagle mountain." I said to her why did he change his mind. She said he had received a prompting that he needed to drive them home in the van. Can you believe it we both had the same prompting around the same time!!!!Boy was I happy I did not have to drive them home in the dark!

I want to wish everyone a very " happy Thanksgiving Holiday and season" I hope we can all be in tune in our lives, listen, and make the right decisions. I leave you with a Holiday poem to enjoy!

_Thanksgiving_

Faith made visible

In daily living:

The perfect gift

Of a grateful heart

A Bountiful Harvest

2011-11-14T11:55:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone its that time again. So check it out.....this is my favorite time of year! I like the Holidays especially Halloween and Thanksgiving! And I have plenty to be thankful for. Its is harvest time and the leaves are changing and turning vibrant bright fall colors. The days are that warm Indian summer weather. The nights are cool, crisp, and have a slight chill in the air. It is football season. It is the best time of year for baking and showing off our baking talents by cooking those fabulous Fall deserts such as apple pie, pumpkin bars,pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pies, banana bread, zuchini bread and many other tasty treats. Also think of all the fun ways to cook all the different squashes and Fall vegetables.

We harvest our gardens and many salsa's, pie fillings, jams, jellies, salads,chili sauce,relishes,you name it. We are having a fun cooking class in the neighborhood. A chef from chili's restaurant will be teaching the class. He will be making a variety of Fall dishes. He will be making an easy gravy that is to die for. He will be showing us all bout carving meat and doing stuff with the leftovers. He will make a great squash soup. I'm very excited to attend the class.

I am so grateful and thankful for my wonderful family. My grand kids keep me very busy. I am most thankful for my wonderful life and my bounty of blessings. I have a book and I wrote down all the things in there I am grateful for in my life and I read it over and over again each day. It has a lot of self helps and ideas in there to improve on myself. It really helps me a lot to be happy and keeps me on the right track in life! Many of you might want to make a grateful book and incorporate your own ideas in it. Its a great tool for this time of year and will remind you of all the things you have to be thankful and grateful for! So let us all harvest our bounty of blessings this Holiday Season.......Beverly

Red Hot Week Continued

2011-11-01T18:22:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone....now getting back to that strange last week I had... Yes it was an extremely hard week. In fact, it was one of the strangest weeks I have ever had and it has spilled over into this week... But what I had learned from all those trials and $600 or more later is that I was lucky my car died in Big O's parking lot because they we right there to help me jump start the car and take care of me. The man upstairs was definitely taking care of me. I could have been stranded just anywhere and been in real trouble! So that was a great blessing. Then I was warned not to go get the cell phone - the man upstairs knew I did not loose it. It was in my purse all the time. But I did not know that, so I was trying to get off work and go get it.

The last customer I talked to on the phone that day took 45 minutes - I could not believe it. I could not get off the phone. Then I could not not get out of the parking lost due to all the construction. Everywhere I went it was a dead end. I finally had to go around the entire building to get out. By now I did not have time to get down to the cricket store. I went anyway and then I accidentally turned down the wrong street not to mention it was under construction. I could not believe it! What ever was going on I did not care I was going to beat it and get that darn cell phone if it killed me. I finally made it to the cricket store and they were closed. Now if you are paying attention you have probably figured out by now someone is trying to warn me or tell me something and that is why all the roadblocks were put in my way! I pounded on the door and the man came over and opened the door and said they were closed. I frantically pleaded with him to please let me in I needed a cell phone and I had had a hard time getting there etc etc.. So he thought it over and let me in. So after a few minutes of looking at all the cell phones I purchased one. Right after I paid the man, I pulled the old cell phone out of my purse. What a hard lesson to have to learn.The lesson is, I was being warned I hadn't lost my cell phone. But I did not heed the waning or listen to the still small voice. I kind of figured I should have waited but instead of listening I just pushed my way and forced my way (to do or die) to get the cell phone!!

Next time I hope I realize to slow down and listen. Pay attention to what is going on and realize there is always tomorrow. If I would have done that I would not have bought that 2nd cell phone.....So stay tuned and we will discuss why the Lord chastens those that he loves......Beverly

Keeping My Cool in a Red Hot Week

2011-10-20T14:52:00.000-07:00

Last week was particularity a very tough week! I had just come back from a nice trip from Puerto Vallarta Mexico. I had such a wonderful time. I went to get my car inspected and found out I needed a new emergency brake. So I took the car to get it fixed and they told me I also needed to replace the rear seals. They were in bad shape and leaking. So instead of the car costing me $150.00 it was now going to cost me $400.00. The car was taking longer to fix than anticipated. I tried to call my boss directly but had left her phone extension at home. So I called the work phone number in my phone no one would answer or even call me back. I walked an hour down Draper hill on 12300 South to work.

Then in the blazing, scorching, hot sun, after work, I walked back up the hill to get my car. Again it took another hour. I just barely made it there. They were closing. I get in my car to leave and it won't start! So luckily they come out of Big O's and give me a jump start! I go over to Auto Zone to get a battery and it cost me a $114.00. I then went to use my cell phone and it was missing.

The next day I go into work and I can't get through the door because my security badge was missing. So the lost badge was going to cost me $25.00 out of my pay check. After work I went to buy a new cell phone to the tune of $70.00. Right after I pay Cricket for a new cell pone I find the old one in my purse. I had previously searched that purse 300 times! By now I knew something was going on and I was definitely being tried and tested. I decided to do something different for once in my life. I decided I was not going to get the slightest upset or mad or even irritated. I decided I was going to roll with the punches and and be grateful and try to learn what ever it was I was suppose to learn. I decided to go with the grain in stead of against the grain if you will. I decided to swim downstream instead of upstream! I like using those analogies or metaphors.

I told Heavenly father every day all day I was grateful for my wonderful life. I started thinking about and writing down all my blessings. I suddenly realized just how good I have it compared to a lot of people. This helped make a hard crazy week a lot better and much more enjoyable and I was much more able to cope with everything that was going on. I was able to keep my cool in this red-hot week of problems! Wait till you find out what I had learned and what my blessings were through all of this. Stay tuned for next weeks addition of this message!

Til' then..Beverly

Excuse Me....

2011-09-30T08:18:00.000-07:00

Well a very strange thing happened too other day. I was at the Library picking up my movies that were on hold. There was a book on hold instead. I never ever order books only movies! I could not figure out why I had this book there.The Librarian said it was no mistake. I looked at the book and it was titled- Excuse Me, Your Soul Mate Is Waiting. I was flabbergasted and perplexed and was thinking, "What is going on here?" This is the very subject I was dealing with in my life.....Hello!! There was no mistake I was holding this book and the very thought of it sent shivers up my spine. I mean we all know I have been wanting to meet and find my soul mate. I quickly thought do I have Alzheimers? Did I forget I ordered this book? No, I could not have forgot because I never order books and I would have discussed it with the Librarian and we would have ordered it in together which we didn't. I remember thinking a while back I would like to maybe get or read a book on this subject but that was it.

I opened the book and started reading it. It stated in there that if you have this book in your possession you attracted it to you. Can you believe it! Some of the things this book is telling me to do I started doing a few days ago. What a coincidence or is it? It talks about the law of attraction and how you can co-create anything that you want into your life. The steps are 1. Identify what you don't want. 2. Then identify what you do want. 3. Get into the "feeling place" of what you want. 4. Expect, listen, and allow it to happen.

The author of this book decided a while back she wanted to write a dating book. She thought there are so many single people looking for love in their lives. She knew they were making a lot of mistakes in the dating arena. As a professional matchmaker, she realized she had a lot to say that could help people. She felt passionate and excited to share that knowledge with others. Still, she worried that there were too many dating books saturating the market. But instead of letting that fear stop and worry her, she affirmed that she had her own style, experience, and humor to offer. Feeling confident on this, she went ahead and wrote the book. Of course, getting a book published isn't always easy. At the same time her agent was shopping around for a publisher, the book He's Just Not That Into You came out. Everyone was talking about and buying that book making it difficult to get a publisher interested her book. In the mean-time, a co-worker gave her a copy of Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting as a gift. She read the book and it loved it. It became her bible. She even practiced the techniques. She started every morning by affirming and feeling that she was already a professional writer and her writing was in demand. She visualized her book already in the stores! then she let if go. She used the Law of Attraction techniques, believed her book would get published, and kept writing.

Soon thereafter, She went to a women's conference hosted by a writer friend, and her publisher got up to speak. One of the books happened to be Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting. She was blown away. Afterward, she approached him and told him with enthusiasm how much she loved that book and how it had become her "bible". He said they were doing a new series of Excuse Me Books, and she might be the perfect person to write one on relationships. Magic! The Law of Attraction worked! There was no doubt in her mind that she felt and created this opportunity in her life.

What a great learning lesson! This book on meeting your soul mate is going to become my bible. There is a lot to be said about the Law of Attraction. When we want to succeed with a certain project in our life we need to just be that confident and know that it is going to happen. We need to see and it and visualize it! We can not have the slightest doubt in the back of our mind that we are not worthy and it should happen for us. So let us all work on the Law of Attraction in our lives. I am going to be doing this to meet my soul mate! Beverly

Being Prepared is Golden

2011-09-16T14:55:00.000-07:00

Lately I have seen a lot of movies that have the word "Yukon" somewhere in the title. They are mostly John Wayne movies and other old western movies. So I decided to Look up and read about the Yukon Territory. The Yukon Territory is located in Western Canada which borders Alaska. It is the westernmost and smallest of the 3 western federal territories in Canada. It is where the "Gold Rush" was in 1897-1899.The Gold Rush lasted barely 2 years. It was very short lived. It was known as the Klondike Gold Rush and the Alaskan Gold Rush. Some people called it the Alaskan Gold Rush because It was owned by the Alaskan Peninsula and some of the gold miners docked in the Alaskan ports.It was one of the last great gold rushes. Most people spent more on personal expenses and getting there than what they earned mining the gold.

The California gold rush was started back in the year 1949. It was another great gold rush. People were crazy back then with gold fever. They would do just about anything to get there hands on some gold! The Yukon territory was named after the Yukon River that runs through it. There are several glacier fed lakes that empty into the Yukon river. Besides mining gold they also mind silver, zinc, copper, and other precious metals there in the Yukon. Precious metals are wonderful to have but I believe there is going to come a day when we will barter with food and water and other import commodities. There were several movies and books written about the Yukon Gold Rush. "The Call of The Wild" written By Jack London was one of them. The winters last very long there with sub artic and artic weather there. The summers are short but the days have long hours of sunshine so a lot of plants, vegetables, and fruit grow there. Its very interesting to learn and read about the famous Yukon Gold Rush and other gold rushes as well.

I only hope in these latter days when things get rough we don't get crazy with "Food Fever" like they did with gold fever. I hope we can all be a prepared people and come together with love, patience and unity.

It is important to have our 2 year food and water supply. We should also be storing medical supplies and devices to provide heat and light etc. etc. It has been said "If we are prepared we shall not have to fear!" So as I go to sleep tonight and ponder these things I will have a restful sleep and not be fearful because I am pretty well prepared as I hope you all are too! 'Til next time......Beverly

All American

2011-09-08T08:46:00.000-07:00

I am in a Patriotic mood this weekend probably because it is the Labor Day Holiday. I watched some good football games this weekend showing great team spirit. BYU played Ole Miss and was behind most of the game until the 4th quarter where they persevered and won them 14-13. What an exciting jaw dropping game this was. Even though Ole Miss was ahead most of the game their coach was always screaming and yelling and making a scene. Bronco Mendenhall was always composed and and in control of his actions and led his BYU team to victory. I think there is a lesson to learn here. He leads his team with a lot of love.

Another coach that led his team with love was Knute Rockne All American. He was a famous football coach for Notre Dame University.They made a movie about him starring Pat O'Brien, president Ronald Regan and others. Ronad Regan played George Gipper who was one of his best all time players. Notre Dame selected George Gipper as their first all American. He was one of the only players that played various positions. He played quarter back, half back, and punter. He is still all time leader for a career in average yards per rush, average yards per play, and for total offense yards per game total offense-128.4.

Knute Rockne was a football player and regarded as one of the greatest football coaches in college football history. His biography at the College Foot Ball Hall of Fame calls him " American football's most renowned coach." He is credited with popularizing the forward pass. He was born in Norway March 4th, 1988. He learned to play football in the neighborhood as a kid. He worked hard, saved up money, and later put himself through college. He graduated from Notre Dame in 1914. He became a Laboratory assistant to a noted polymer chemist and helped out with the football team at Notre Dame. He later rejected further work with in chemistry after receiving an offer to coach football.

During 13 years as head coach, Rockne over saw his "Fighting Irish" to 105 victories, 12 losses, five ties, and 5 national championships including five undefeated seasons without a tie! Rockne introduced the "shift" with the backfield lining up in a "T" formation then quickly shifting into a box to the left or right just as the ball was snapped. He worked hard to promoting Notre Dame football so as to make it financially successful. He was noted for wanting to shape and mold his football players lives. He wanted them to become more than just great football players. He wanted them to become great young men. He truly loved them and the game of football. It was his passion in life!

Knute Rockne died in a plane crash In Kansas on March 31st 1931. He was in route to oversee and help with a Hollywood movie called the " The spirit of Notre Dame." President Hoover called Rockne's death a "national loss." A student gymnasium was named after him, Many things were built and named after him in his honor. Someone even composed a musical piece after him and it goes on and on. He was truly a great " All American."

His life and legacy gives me goosebumps. You can find his movie Knute Rockne All American at the local library. It is a fabulous movie and I highly recommend it!!! I am now taking a look at my life and seeing what kind of Legacy I can leave and what kind of loving example I can set.

My Courage

2011-09-01T09:14:00.000-07:00

Courage, what is the definition of courage? I heard a very nice talk last Sunday on courage. It was very good. The speaker said when it comes right down to it we all have courage. If a tragedy of some sort was to occur we would be doing all we could to help or fix the problem. We would be in kind of a shock mode and we would move mountains because we would have to. It is amazing what we would do if faced with a severe problem. If you look at the people that had to endure the hurricanes this last week they all had to be brave and do what was needed of them at the time. They were faced with hard times so they persevered and had the courage to get through it. In Websters dictionary tells us the definition of courage is bravery, fearlessness and daring.

One of my daughters has 4 boys and they are very hard at times. Her husband is gone a lot with his work. It takes a lot of courage for her to just get through the day sometimes. We show courage when we speak in church. It's not easy to speak in front of a congregation but by doing so we face our fears and become fearless! Sometimes when we have to confront family members or neighbors with issues that are bothering us that takes extreme bravery. Think of some of your worst fears.Going to a funeral takes a lot of courage or watching someone die of cancer or some other ailment. Life is very very tough at times. You heard that old age saying " when the going gets tough the tough gets going." Isn't that the truth.

Our Military, Police force and Firefighters show and demonstrate extreme bravery and fearlessness all the time! You have all heard or read stories on this subject I'm sure you could share. Just a week ago on a remote island, lightening struck a huge mansion of a famous movie star and his house burned to the ground. They had seconds to get out of the house. His girlfriend, another famous movie star, picked up his 90 year old mother and carried her out of the house to safety. She didn't think about how heavy she might have been, she just went into action and saved the lady's life! We could go on and on with countless stories.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear. Not the absence of fear. So really ponder that quote. I have had a a lot of fear and anxiety just trying to face my loneliness. It's also fearsome trying to meet these different guys and date them. I am trying to face my fears with a big red badge of courage..So-to-speak. As I go on this journey I am trying to be fearless, brave and daring and really re-invent myself in this twilight of my Life. May we all have courage in conquering our quests!! I would love to hear your comments and stories on this subject....Beverly

Strengths Vs. Weaknesses

2011-08-28T21:12:00.000-07:00

I have this wonderful friend I always go walking with. She is the sweetest person I have ever met! She is always there for you, is a very good listener, and has your best interest a heart. That is the definition of a good friend. She would give you the shirt off her back. If she says she is going to do something then follows through and does it. She is very dependable and the best friend ever! Don't you wish everyone was like that. She also gives very generous of her time which is very important in this life.

It is hard to back in the dating world because a lot of guys are very undependable, flaky, play games, and do not follow though with things. It makes dating very rough and not fun.This lady I am talking about is 72 years old and takes the world by storm. I needed help with moving a big giant solid hardwood table that weighed a ton. I couldn't find anyone to help with it. This little spitfire comes over and helps me move this enormous one-ton table and she also helped me with some other things. She took a big weight ( ha! ha!) off my shoulders! So in the strengths vs. weaknesses department she has many strengths and very little weaknesses. I hope we can all find and build more strengths in our lives than weaknesses.

Beverly

What's on the Inside?

2011-08-22T14:00:00.000-07:00

You have heard that old cleche' "It's whats on the inside that counts"! Let's talk about this and kick it around a little bit.It is very true. We need to be loving, kind, genuine, spiritual, honest, tolerant, considerate, patient, gentle, and meek etc. etc. I could go on and on about this.These are all great qualities that can make us a well-balanced wonderful person. I'm sure you have all heard of 'love at first sight'. So if that's the case, isn't it true that people look at our physical appearance first and kind of size us u? (Ha! Ha!) In my opinion after they size us up then they look on the inside to make sure we are nice person. What do you viewers think?

They did a study in New York City where they put a guy on the corner to sell things and get peoples attention. He was very handsome and good-looking. He was also a sharp dresser. Most people stopped and talked to him -they treated him well. Then they put an average looking ordinary guy on the same corner and most people went right by him and acted like he was invisible! So it is important to be clean, neat, and have a good appearance. By doing so we then come across as a confident person.Then that inner inside confidence and self esteem will shine through and attract people to us.

My old boss used to say confidence is sexy. I think she was totally right. So, the deal is, I say we work on both the inside and the outside. Our physical outside appearance is important because then people know that we like and care about ourselves. I have been fighting a major war on my weight! What a battle. I had a lot more dates when I was thinner. My thyroid went out which caused me to have very low metabolism. Therefore I gained a lot of weight. I joined a gym and work out all the time so I am looking and feeling better. I am trying and that's what counts! So I hope this week that whatever areas you guys need to work on, you will be highly motivated to do so. I wish you a lot of good luck with your endeavors! I know Mr. right will be more attracted to a real self confidant person and that is going to be my goal for this next week!!!!!

Till next time,

Bev

Questions?

2011-08-16T08:59:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered why we some times question things in our life or even have questions? Well, I have wondered this a lot lately. We know we have certain things (good or bad) we have to go through in this life. So, if it is our destiny why question it? Is it because the not knowing makes us feel insecure and unsafe? Sometimes we feel a deep pit in our stomach! Is it because we don't know the end result or the outcome.? Is it maybe because we can't see or know what's ahead of us in this life?

Maybe it is because we do not have enough faith. Sometimes I think we do have faith but we are only human. Life gets real hard at times. We just have to endure. Well, I know it's good to question things because that is how we learn and grow. It is also how we get through life. I do know that we need good friends along the way that show us a lot of love and compassion.

I went to the temple earlier tonight where I took a lot of my questions. As I was going up the side walk I met a young girl sitting on bench by the trees just crying and sobbing her heart out. I asked her if there was anything I could do to help her. She said she had just had a bad day and she need to be by the temple. She had forgot her recommend and couldn't go in but she was in jeans so I did not understand. I asked her if I could give her a hug. She said yes. I gave her a hug comforted her. I think this made her feel better. It made me feel good. I know she was sitting there with a lot of questions about her life. I went in the temple and told one of the workers about this. He said he could look her information up in the computer without her recommend. I went clear back outside to tell her this. She was glad to know, but couldn't go in because she was in jeans. I put her name in the temple.

She was probably upset because she had some trials and did not know what the outcome would be.

My thought for the day is; show great love and kindness for one another. We need to have compassion for each other and build each other up. We need to have and show unconditional love for one another....times are getting that hard!

The Good News

2011-08-12T08:03:00.000-07:00

Extra -extra read all about it! This is the greatest news flash of all! Just when I thought my world was coming to an end it is not!! I just went upstairs and I looked out the window and the neighbor behind me is having his 100,000 foot enormous, monstrous, mammoth tree chopped down!! This is a absolute miracle in my life. This tree has driven me nuts for the last 23 years. Every single fall I have over 4-million leafs to rake up! Yes this is Heaven! Every time there is a windstorm or a lightening storm I worry about that tree crashing down on my house! It happened up the street a few years ago! So yes this is my luckiest day ever!!!!!!There is life after death!! The neighbor is a good neighbor. I just did not like that big old giant tree!

Another milestone in my life, is that guy from Ogden that I have been on a couple of dates with emailed me and asked me how I am doing. Can you believe it? I think he just needs time. I feel so happy just to know he is thinking of me. We will see what happens. I don't think he is the one for me, maybe we will just be friends. So I have learned from all of this is just to be patient, patient and more patient!! Good things happen to all good people. So, again I hope you can take a good message away from all of this! Lets keep in touch. I would like to hear form all you single people too, because I would also like to pay it forward and line some of you up since I am meeting a lot of men!

Also, I appreciate and enjoy reading all of your comments. I read every single one.

Later,

Beverly.

Outside the Box

2011-08-09T20:27:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to encourage you all to think out of the box this week. I was feeling overwhelmed with my yard - I have quite a big yard to mow. Anyway, after 23 years of mowing the front yard the same way I decided to change directions and go longways across the front lawn. I was now not going up hill and fighting the lawn, I was going with the grain (so to speak) rather than against the grain. Boy I mowed the lawn in 7 minutes or less - it looked great! I always thought I had to mow it the other way (up hill), because it would look better. I found out it looked just as good if not better plus it was easier!

Life is so full of surprises. It is the little things in life that truly make us happy. Isn't it funny how one simple little thing made my life so much easier and happier this week! Yea!!! that is what I'm talking about! I welcome your thoughts and experiences so please share. I think I will try to use this same metaphor for trying to meet a companion. What do you think?

Finding that Light at the End of the Tunnel

2011-08-05T09:21:00.000-07:00

So check it out. This week has been a week of nothing but trials something we all experience. I had two floods at the same time in my house. I had some pipes leak under the kitchen sink and cause water damage to the new cabinets I just put in a few months ago. I also had the water heater leak a couple of quarts of water every day onto my basement floor and ruin my new sheet rock down there!

I then had a breakfast for some ladies in the neighborhood that me and a friend had put on and had gone to a lot of work. No one showed up, I thought I would die. Now, mind you a couple of ladies had to cancel and it was something they could not help so we completely understood. One lady got called into work and the other had a funeral out of town so it was truly something they could not help. But never the less it was a trying time. So, I quickly called a neighbor to come and eat. She came right over and we all had a great time. She shared some to very inspirational information with us and everything turned out better after all.

I am in need of some great and uplifting messages this week. I did find some in the meantime so I thought I would share them with you viewers. Here they are:

Because of the rock foundation with God we have we do not not need to sink with Satan. All the sin in the world can't hurt you unless you let it in. We can't isolate our self from the world, we need to reach out for help and help others. We need to listen to the still small voice and promptings.God is here to back us up.

Here is a nice quote by Robert fulghum I would like to share with you - I think you will like it.

"I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have~ I can reflect light into the dark places of this world~into the black places in the hearts of men--and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life." I think this is so true and very inspiring!

Update: a gentleman in my church came over and helped me fix all the flood damage and problems. Now, everything is back on track! He would not accept any money. He just goes around helping everyone in the stake . He says this is his way of doing service. In just a matter of a few hours everything is now back on track and good again. I relied on my rock and also had to reach out to others. So this week and from now on if you have hard times I would encourage you to do the same. I welcome your thoughts on this and your stories. Please weigh in on this and comment and share some things that have happened to you. We would love to hear form you.

I am still on my journey to meet Mr. right and this week I am going to sign up for E-harmony so wish me luck and I will keep you posted! '

Till next time Beverly.
