Be you be beautiful event..and a cool story.

 A few weeks ago I was able to attend an event titled Be You Be Beautiful. It was put on by renowned author Carol Tuttle. She is the author of the very powerful and popular book Remembering Wholeness. I am a bigger fan of her Just my Nature book. Her new book, The Child Whisperer, was available for us to purchase at the event and seriously, it is the best parenting book ever. EVER!

Here is her preview of it...its changing our home and maybe you'll learn something too. 

I enjoyed the event quite a bit. I loved learning more about myself and my loved ones....but I think I had more fun with my family. I love being with them and this scenario was perfect for us.

Me, Katy, Auntie Em, Mom, Anna, Aunt Kristy, Tex (aka Sarah)

Katy and me--my new sparkly scarf that I don't dare wear in public. However I recently, and oddly,  decided to wear it on Sunday for the primary program. I think the kids will be able to keep their eyes on me. ;) 

My younger sis and Tex Sarah. They are so fun together. I'm so glad that Sarah was able to fly out from Texas and join us.  And doesn't Anna look HOT!! Shazam!

In light to get autographed. Yippee!!

With Carol Tuttle herself.  When I grow up I want to be genuinely happy like her. She really an amazing lady.

With my mama. She is pretty freaking amazing too.

Hot Anna, Mom, me and Katy. This was at the end. I don't think I can hold still for a picture. I'm always doing something different.

The whole party!

The best part of the weekend was the feeling that was in the room with all of those ladies. I only knew my family there, but the ladies there were probably the most accepting women I had ever been around.  They truly honored each other, they were not judgmental -even when I wore that super sparkly scarf (however i saw several other wearing that scarf and that just boosted my courage in wearing it.)  It was a great feeling to feel so accepted among strangers.

Ok here is the more interesting story of the weekend.

I love to be social in small groups. Large groups..not so much. But a handful of people I love!

On the way home I was driving by myself. I became lonely. My hubby was busy at home and so he wasn't very chatty and there was only so much singing I could do with the raido to entertain myself. I remember exclaiming that "Its so much more fun when I'm with friends!!"

Well....I arrived in Fillmore, Utah. There isn't much there at about 10pm. I stopped and got gas, stretched my legs, went to get into the car and....NO!!!! There were my keys, danging in the ignition.

Well crap. So I said a little prayer to have my Heavenly Father help me out of this mess I had made and walked into the store. There was nobody around. In the fast food place that was connected in the store, there was a small table with three, large men. I felt impressed to go beg for help. >deep breath< and I went for it.

"Do any of you guys know how to break into a car???" I said with my biggest, cheesiest smile I could muster.
"Actually we've broke into three today already! Lets go get a rock!!"
They were totally joking around and laughing about it in a friendly way. I took them out to my car and the fun began.

It took about an hour for them to get my car open. But during that hour we had a great time. They happened to be in Fillmore as part of a filming crew for the LDS church. One of them was even an actor that claimed to be in Touched by an Angel. He even showed me the David Archuleta video that he's in! (The Everybody hurts video...he's the dad with the daughter getting married.) They ended up breaking off the antenna of their boss's truck and getting it unlocked. It was seriously a fun time. They were super nice genuine gentlemen and I was so glad for the interaction.

When I waved farewell, I busted out laughing. Not only did I get my car unlocked fairly simply, but I had an hour of fun social time that I wanted. I love that I was laughing about my keys getting locked in the car.

It was a great weekend and I am so thankful I was able to have such a great time with so many different people.
Yeah!
