Positive post Sunday, December 29, 2019- Week 150. As we wrap up the Holidays and close out 2019, I thought I would write about the best gift I gave this Christmas. Yes, I said gave not received. Although I am very thankful for all the gifts I received from family and friends, I believe in…
Positive post Sunday, December 22, 2019- Week 149. According to the Deseret News, there are 14 different religious holidays believers celebrate in December and with Hanukkah beginning today and Christmas just 3 days away, I thought it would be appropriate and valuable to focus this Positive Post Sunday on holiday safety. There are endless safety…
Positive post Sunday, December 15, 2019- Week 148. The good Lord speaks to us in so many ways, all we have to do is listen. Growing up, Michele spent many summers vacationing with her family on Balboa Island, staying at the home of two of the most generous and faithful people I know, our dear…
Positive post Sunday, December 1, 2019- Week 146.

Positive post Sunday, November 10, 2019- Week 143. Could you imagine a community without volunteers? I can’t.

Positive post Sunday, November 3, 2019- Week 142. Did you remember to set your clocks back today, “Fall Back”? When fall (or autumn) arrives and we conclude daylight savings time, I’m always reminded of the value and importance of time. Last Sunday I wrote about time and that although we think we are all…
Positive post Sunday, October 27, 2019- Week 141. My family and close friends who are on Facebook and who have been following my Positive Post Sundays already knew what I was going to post this Sunday, “The Journey to the Board”.

Positive post Sunday, October 20, 2019- Week 140. This week I decided to write about parenting.
