Another great book!! I listened to it on audio which was fantastic! She has such a soothing voice. I love listening to her, it's like listening to your mom or grandma. She is full of wisdom and understands the gospel so thoroughly.

I wish I could sit with her each week for an hour. I cannot imagine what I could glean from her. I have no doubts to why she is a prophet's wife! She was absolutely prepared for it.

I really really really enjoy books that make you think, ask questions, and teach you something! They are the best kind of books. Those that inspire and move us to change.

READ THIS BOOK!!!

The perspective of changing how we look at our relationships with a wider angled view is a concept to definitely adopt. It is ourselves who we change and Act for upon our choices for good. We look at others and need to seek to understand or change how we see others actions, perspectives, or choices.

Rather than play a victim card, choose instead to forgive. "Apologize for the negative thoughts" you have for someone rather than waiting for them to do the apologizing.

There is so much more in this book. I highly recommend this read.

I like Wendy Watson Nelson, but this talk was not as inspiring for me as some of her other talks. As far as sources—scriptural reference, there weren’t very many.
There was a bonus talk called CHANGE, IT REALLY IS A POSSIBILITY! This was about the same as the other talk. She used her knowledge as a marriage and family therapist in both the talks. It just wasn’t what I was expecting.

There are some big scary changes I need to take this year and this devotional really hit spot on! 😪❤ Especially Change it Really is Possible! Once again sister Wendy Watson Nelson shares her testimony with love and power. Wow trying not to get emotional here but really needed to hear all if this today!

Wendy Watson Nelson shares beautiful truths in these two talks. I love how the spirit can teach us what is true and also help us change.

In this talk, Sister Nelson gives several examples of things not being what they appear to be. She teaches us to look at people and situations with a different perspective. Selfishly, I wish I could make everyone listen to this talk in reference to ME and how people perceive ME. I guess the best thing to do is to work on my own perspective first.

She's another Women's conference favorite. This was a really good talk for me to hear.
