Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I draw upon Edith Eva Eger's book The Choice. She recently turned 98 and is a Holocaust survivor. She likens our struggles to prisons we build within our minds that hold us back from being all that we could be. I then refer to Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's funeral and refer to his talk "The Best is Yet to Come." It's a new year, and we need t...

Send us Fan Mail We all know someone, perhaps multiple someones, who suffer with some form of emotional disorder. Depression, anxiety, bi-polar disease, and the list goes on.

Send us Fan Mail Gratitude and love are intertwined in a unique and powerful way. The more we feel love, the more gratitude swells within us, and the more gratitude swells, the more we want to act in ways that demonstrate the love we feel for the one who shows love to us.

Send us Fan Mail President Russell M. Nelson once spoke to Church leaders about  Hesed,  covenantal love. In this episode, I ask questions that I believe President Nelson answers in this talk.
