Although I am a senior heading into the Communications major at BYU this year, I have kept a low-profile when it comes to social media. I do much more observing than contributing. However, I feel I need to embrace my communication roots a little and become more involved again.
My sisters and I have vacationed home away from home this week to Arizona where my Dad is currently abiding temporarily for work. Due to the long car trips, low-maintenance agenda, and time set aside for relaxing -- my mind has been racing. My summer work schedule has been one speed: fast. Therefore, the little things such as good exercise, sleep and time to myself were the first to slip through the cracks. This past week has been a much needed break for many of my family members, myself included.
First conclusion: Thinking feels good; meditation is beautiful
and therapeutic. It is essential.
I came across this quote on Pinterest, “women’s pornography”
as my friend denotes it. However, I find many treasures on this beloved website
like fun hair styles to try when I am bored or stunning wedding dresses I can
refer to friends (my day will be someday… but until then, these dress ideas
must not go to waste).
It is golden and summarizes the thoughts that have been
consuming my mind:
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

Beautiful people do not just happen. I love this. I look at my family, they have always been stunning and I
definitely know why. When one of us is weakened, the others will pull their
weight to carry them along this journey of life. Whether it is a simple text
message, a phone call or an entertaining distraction-my family is amazing and I know why it
is the central unit of the gospel.
When everything else becomes inconsistent in my life, it is
family that remains constant. I am nothing without them.
The only way I know how to best contribute to my future family, and follow the example of my parents, is to become a beautiful person.
Beautiful people have a sound sense of self. They are happy and content with themselves, despite misfortunate circumstances, insecurities and weaknesses. Love for other people guides their thoughts and actions. Beautiful people don't need to say it, others just know it. I am grateful to be surrounded by beautiful people.
