Presentation information:
‘Taking Time for Self’
(aka: 'I don't give a darn day')
As women we get caught up in our busy day to day lives taking care of everyone around us. We sometimes forget that in taking care of people we also need to take care of ourselves. This presentation is full of fun and laughter as Wendy points out the importance of taking time for YOU.
'My Savior My Friend'
We all need a friend who understands what we're dealing with. Whether it's loneliness or sorrow or pain of any kind. We need someone who 'gets it'. The Savior 'gets it'. He's been there done that.

‘Uniquely You’
It is the differences in the flowers that make a beautiful bouquet or the different voices that make up a beautiful choir. Oscar Wilde once said “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” In this fun presentation, Wendy discusses how we are the same, but different and how to love and accept those things that make us different...or unique.
'Hearts Knit Together'
"Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters...." My sisters are my best friends but when I live so far away from them I am grateful for my other sisters.....YOU. Sisters in the gospel. We'll celebrate the sisterhood we enjoy in Relief Society...and we'll laugh.
