BLOG

The Holidays are in full swing, and I am making a focussed effort to be in the moment and enjoy what this time of year means.  I personally enjoy the holidays usually, but I have been struggling a bit since the elections and the whole Proposition 8 debacle.  Living in Utah and growing up LDS means that I have a lot of personal ties to the LDS Church and most of my family are still members.  It has been difficult seeing their (the Church’s) involvement in the Proposition 8 campaign and even harder watching the outcry of pain and anger towards them after the result.  I have to say I think the Yes on Prop 8 campaign was deceitful and used underhanded tricks to push their agenda.  I also don’t think that any religous institution should insert themselves in a political process, especially one that in no way affects them or their beliefs.  Argh!  Why do we have to make this so hard on ourselves?

Ok, so the title of this blog was Happy Holidays and I got off on a little tangent,  so I want to end on that note.  I wish everyone reading this the very best holiday season.  My wish for everyone is that we can disregard the negative that is out there, and focus on what we want.  When we look for positive things, positive things are what we get.  Happy Holidays everyone!
