Saturday I went to the General Relief Society Broadcast with my friend. Our Stake had a dinner beforehand and it was nice to not have to make dinner. Then we watched the broadcast. I enjoyed all the talks, but I swear President Uchtdorf is speaking just for me. He said things that I really needed to hear right now. Some things that really hit me:
"...our splendid sisters sometimes undervalue their abilities — they focus on what is lacking or imperfect rather than what has been accomplished and who they really are."
"Everyone can create. You don't need money, position or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty,"
"Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before: colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter."
There was so much more that was awesome. You can listen to his whole talk on lds.org if you missed it.
He also spoke at our broadcast Stake conference at the beginning of the month and again I felt that he knew just what I needed to hear at that time. Besides that he's a fabulous speaker and it's also fun to listen to his accent and it makes it much easier to listen to, I mean REALLY listen to his talks and find what I need in them. This weekend is General Conference so I look forward to hearing more from President Uchdorft and all the other Prophets and Apostles--I have a feeling it will be just what I need.

I agree 100% about President Uchtdorf's talk. It was perfect for probably every woman I know. Why are we so hard on ourselves?
I thought the same thing...he was talking just to me.
