Letter To Our Sisters: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars!”

October 29, 2014 by CaMarie Hoffman Leave a Comment

Our dearest sisters, The message today is BIG, because it’s about BIG dreams.  The kind of dreams that usually get lost in a day because the realistic part of your mind turns them off before they even get started. We’ll never forget creating a “Dream Poster” with the family one night when we were just eleven or twelve.  We cut out and drew pictures of our biggest dreams that year, Continue Reading

Letter to Our Sisters: Dare to Be

October 22, 2014 by CaMarie Hoffman 1 Comment

Our Dearest Sisters, We came across a beautiful poem this week that we want to share with you. Let it speak for itself: “Dare to Be” When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When life seems to beat you Continue Reading

We know that some of you (maybe those whose names start with E, Z and C ;) ) are probably laughing about those words, or wanting to stop listening now.  But really there’s some super important things that we want you all to know, because someday the time will come for you, too, to start looking for someone to spend eternity with.  Someone to Continue Reading

Letter to Our Sisters: The Beauty of Life

September 17, 2014 by CaMarie Hoffman 2 Comments

Dearest Sisters, It has been a beautiful week. On Monday it rained. It was a refreshing and cleansing rain, a rain that made the earth and our souls feel happy and alive and new. On Tuesday we walked down the quiet, dark streets in comfortable silence, each of us caught up in the still perfection of that night and in the deepest thoughts of our hearts. We ended at the temple and sat Continue Reading
