The government defines family as a group of people living together who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption.  This description is very limiting as there are an increasing number of people who are “creating” alternative families.  These alternative families (called fictive families in the professional literature) can provide the same emotional, behavioral, and social supports as the families meeting the government description.  Examples of this include the older sisters who adopted my daughters, a brother who became a widower, and a branch in Alabama.  The difference between good friends and these people is that they became family.  They met social, emotional, and behavioral supports in the same way that our parents and siblings did.  These created fictive families can help us find a new way to fit into society and meet unfulfilled needs and we provide the same function for them.

Life experiences can often be unsettling as we reflect back on them.  Learning to learn from our past can provide a way to rethink the less than pleasant experiences and give significant insight into ways to address future challenges.  These learning experiences involve giving grace to yourself and devoting time, effort, and faith into the process.  For most people this will involve rethinking boundaries and priorities.  Committing to, and following through with the insights require time, commitment, and a commitment to receive needed revelation.  Lastly, Elder Bendar posed a question a few years ago wondering how it was that the Savior would forgive us, but that sometimes we could not forgive ourselves.  Learning to forgive ourselves for sins that have been repented of is a freeing and life changing experience.

The single life today has never been so difficult to navigate, but what was like in 19th century Nauvoo among single Latter-Day Saints?

As a child you were taught and domesticated to believe, think, and be what others taught you to be. Through punishment and reward you fell into that role and have created your life from those foundational beliefs. Through owning your part in this, you will rediscover the power of the truth that you were born perfect, still are perfect but learned flaws. As you recognize and rewrite your agreements and beliefs to be centered on truth, on the gospel, you will find your mind more clear and your creations more…..perfect. We will explore some of the most common thinking flaws and use them to chart your way back to the perfection you were created in.

As a professional photographer you get to tell stories through the images you capture. Your eyes and talent in doing so become refined through many years of experience.  I have come to learn that seeing with eyes to see, through the eyes of the beholder, not only can one capture a story but you can capture feelings and emotions that permeate from the image captured. There is a spirit in those images that resonates and talks to our spirits.  Photography is often defined as a manipulation of light.  Lighting determines not only brightness and darkness, but also tone, mood, and atmosphere.  One of my favorite quotes says “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” – Edith Wharton  My presentation is about seeing with eyes to see through the eyes of the Beholder.  When the Light of Christ is the light source by which your life’s story is defined you come to see what the Savior sees, the way He sees you, those around you, and the worth and eternal value of all that is good. His light never fails.
