I wanted to share a thought that I had in church on Sunday. In Relief Society we were talking about goals and overwhelming all the goals that the women wanted to set were: do all the dishes, do laundry, less facebook, play with my kids... And I kept thinking those are good goals, but they are only in one area of your lives. I don't think being a mother isn't important, but I feel like part of our earthy experience is to gain knowledge, explore, learn and develop as individuals. While doing dishes is a good thing, I think that women of the church of Latter-day saints should also make goals to better themselves intellectually to become whole people. We should be making goals like read Machiavelli or if you are more scientifically minded, read a particular scientific journal. Something that is interesting and helps you develop as a person and not a label.
