Paisley Imperfect - Video

It's another choose your plan week! I've created two different study plans for this week. One of them will get us through Moroni 10 only, and the other one will get us through Moroni 10 AND will get us started on the Christmas Study Plan that starts on December 19th. You can find both checklists here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-december-16-21-or-22/ I usually post the copy fro...

I can't believe we're already almost done with the Book of Mormon! I'm going to miss it. I feel like I learned more from it this year than I have in a while. How about you?

Nelson • Saturday: "A Perfect Brightness of...

In this video, we explore President Uchtdorf's unforgettable experiences and how they resonate with our own feelings of being left out. Learn about the humbling path to leadership, as illustrated by the stories of James and John, the 'Sons of Thunder,' and their bold request to sit by the Savior's side. Be inspired to embrace your current calling, serve with sincerity, and continue the journey of...

Welcome to another inspiring session! Today, we're exploring President Oaks' impactful talk, "Two Great Commandments," from the 2019 Women's General Conference. In this episode, you'll discover how to maintain a balance between loving God wholeheartedly and embracing our neighbors with compassion and respect, especially amid today's societal challenges. President Oaks offers guidance on prioritizi...

Today we're focused on President Oaks' talk from the 2018 General Women's Session of conference titled "Parents and Children." We're sticking to the last nine paragraphs or so where the core message is about kindness. Join me as I relate these teachings to everyday experiences, like parenting and even school drop-off challenges. Discover how simple acts of kindness can transform our lives and rela...

Today we're getting into President Nelson's talk from the October 2018 General Women's Session of Conference titled, "Sisters' Participation in the Gathering of Israel." I love how respectfully President Nelson speaks to and about women. In this talk he redefines motherhood and takes it beyond traditional bounds. He highlights the unique spiritual gifts and strengths that women bring to the table....

Here's this week's breakdown of "Come, Follow Me." There's a talk in this week's material that was also in last week's. If you want to review it twice, please do. I've included a couple of notes on the checklist on the website to show how you can add it in without having to rearrange too much. You can check out that checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-november-11-17/ Th...

Today we're looking into President Nelson's talk, "Spiritual Treasures," from the 2019 Women's session of General Conference. It's such a great resource as we get started on our own journeys to find out our personal and individual role within the priesthood. President Nelson emphasizes that the heaves are equally open to women who honor their covenants, offering a path filled with spiritual joy. O...

This week we're in Mormon chapters 7-9. These are some of the saddest chapters in the Book of Mormon. I cannot imagine being as alone as Moroni was in those last days of his life. I put together a downloadable PDF doc that has links to each of the pieces I'll be reviewing this week. You can find it here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-november-4-10 And, as always, the links are al...

We're only scratching the surface of the gathering of Israel in this video, but I'll share "12 Facts about the Gathering of Israel," an article I found in the 2019 New Era (link below). Missionary work, family history, and temple work all play invaluable roles in the gathering - it can't happen without them. And we get to be a part of it! Dia de Los Muertos is coming up on Saturday and I encourage...

This episode is different than most. In it, I share three quotes that have all helped me move on from difficult people in my life. They've helped me learn how to know which people I need to let back in after I've forgiven them, which ones need stronger boundaries, and which ones I'm ok to let go of. I hope these quotes will help you too. Thank you for being here! Your time is valuable, and I am gr...

Here we are at another Monday! These weeks are flying by! Here's the checklist to help you organize your week. It's an average of about 22 minutes per day. The shortest day is on Friday at 18 minutes, and the longest day is on Saturday at 26 minutes and 37 seconds. If you don't have that kind of time, there are six chapters and you could just do one chapter per day. You'll average out at about 6 m...

No matter where you are on your journey, God's love is unwavering. He wants us to succeed and has placed us here at this time to realize our fullest potential. Serving others is a privilege, kindness has power, and our unique spiritual gifts, talents, and abilities are meant to make a positive impact on the world around us. Let's avoid comparison and fully embrace our individuality as we become be...

Hello again! Today we're going to talk about sheep. Not the sheep kind of sheep - us. The 99 sheep and the 1. Growing up, I struggled a bit with being part of the 99 when the focus always seems to be on the 1. I've learned a lot about being one of the 99 though and it's not necessarily what you might think. I rediscovered a talk from 2022 called "Do What Mattereth Most," and wanted to share it wit...

It's another Make-a-Plan Monday! Here's how I've broken it down for myself; what does your plan look like? (All the links are at the bottom so we can keep the list clean and readable but still give you quick access to what you need.)

Today we're looking at Brother Bradley Wilcox's most recent General Conference talk called, "O Youth of the Noble Birthright." It was very clearly directed at the youth of the Church, but no matter how old you are there are truths in it that are applicable to you today. We can help the youth understand and even embrace their opportunity to stand out from the rest of the world. We can show them wha...

Welcome back! Today is all about a talk from President Uchtdorf in October of 2011 called, "You Matter to Him." We may feel like nothing in this giant universe, but remember that this universe was created for us. Learn how even great leaders of faith, like President Uchtdorf, have experienced feelings of insignificance and solitude. We'll discuss the paradox of human existence—being nothing...

Welcome back! Today I'm breaking down what's in the Come, Follow Me curriculum for us this week and how we can listen to all of the pieces and parts.

In this episode, on Mental Health Awareness Day, we'll talk about Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's talks from 2013 titled "Like a Broken Vessel." I'll also share some of my own personal struggles and insights, specifically how Elder Holland's words brought calm and comfort to my life during a really difficult time. I'll also show you some of the resources available to all of us on the Church of Jesus Ch...

I'll be upfront about this one - this episode is more for me than it is for you. As a content creator, there's a fine line between genuine purpose and validation. I'm a marketer by trade and when it comes to being Paisley, my training sometimes tells me to do things differently than the Spirit does. President Eyring, in this past Sunday's conference, helped "calm my troubled heart" about this, and...

Today's Make-a-Plan Monday is focused on the "Come, Follow Me" curriculum for October 7-13, "Behold, My Joy Is Full." When we bring all of the bits and pieces together listed in the book, we average out to about 15 minutes every day, which is totally doable. As always, though, please adjust the plan so that it works for you. The checklist will be posted on Instagram and Facebook (like always) or y...

I don't know about you, but President Holland really got me with a part of his talk in this past April's conference. He was "admonished," and my thought was that if HE was admonished, is there really any hope for me? Of course, the answer is yes. Today we're studying a talk from Elder J. Devn Cornish from 2016 titled "Am I Good Enough? Will I Make It?". The answer is yes! Join in for proof. I love...
