Learning from Experience in Life
Several years ago, I had the opportunity of being assigned to home teach a sister who had lost her arm to amputation. Although I tried to be considerate and attempted to have empathy, I really did not understand her situation. Recently however, I obtained some insight as to what it is like to not have the use of an arm after surgery on my shoulder and a nerve block, given intentionally by the anesthesiologist, left my arm numb and unresponsive for nearly 36 hours. Sometimes and probably more often than we are willing to admit, the only way to learn is by having experience.
The Importance of Savings Accounts
In the world of retirement strategizing, the focus tends to be on 401(k)s, IRAs, pensions, or other retirement investment accounts. But that doesn’t mean you should forget about the traditional savings account.
Prep Step: SPRING into action with the power of fresh herbs
Like the spring-cleaning of our homes through clearing out the old, decluttering, and bringing in the fresh and the new, we can cleanse, even detoxify, our bodies after long months of fortifying them with the heaviness of thick stews, hearty meats, and filling breads. Spring closes the pantry doors of preservation and opens the doors to the sun-filled outdoors. Whether seeds have been planted in the warming environment of a greenhouse, or directly in the ground outside, whether planted intentionally or unintentionally, they respond to sunlight much the same as we do – springing up all around us with great joy!
But most of us don’t realize the life-giving properties of many plants and herbs.

Inspirational Thought
President Russell M. Nelson stated in October 2020 General Conference, “I recently heard a woman of deep testimony admit that the pandemic, combined with an earthquake in the Salt Lake Valley, had helped her realize she was not as prepared as she thought she was. When I asked whether she was referring to her food storage or her testimony, she smiled and said, ‘Yes!'”
