I was just thinking, I hope I don't sound preachy on this blog. I've been trying to speak up more about what I believe lately and I understand it can sometimes make others feel like I'm judging or criticizing them. The real point is, though, I think I want to speak up to show others who have similar thoughts and feelings that there is another agreeing voice out there!
Many of us sit back and allow things to happen in our communities because we think that's what everyone else wants, even when we personally don't think it's right. When we really start talking, though, we find that there's still a good-sized group of people that actually agrees with us! We're just afraid to speak up!
I hope to put my voice out there so people know what I believe and when it comes down to it, they can count on me for our common purpose.
I've also found in reading blogs that are even more conservative than mine, that there is an influence for good. I could take some of the topics as preachy, but I can also feel inspired that other people have such high standards and I should improve myself, too.

Emily,
Thank you for your post on my blog today. I love your thoughts. and how timely they were. I am actually going to write a post about women giving blessings for my blog in the next week or so. I just have a lesson on blessings, healing and women in RS last week and have it on my mind. Great minds must think alike. I love what you are doing with this blog. We need more and more women who are willing to speak out. I'll be excited to see what you write.
