Time Out For Women 2012

Such a fun girls weekend. I love going to Time Out for Women. And it is even better when you can go with such amazing women. Love Love Love these ladies. Cheryl and Kirsten are my counselors in Young Womens and we had a fabulous time together. And what a better way to start our weekend then a visit to the Los Angeles Temple.

The Time Out for Women speakers were all wonderful.  Thoroughly enjoyed being uplifted, encouraged, rejuvenated and motivated.  And I love feeling the spirit testifying to me of the truthfulness of the gospel and of Jesus Christ.  I took lots of notes and can't wait to go again next year.

Here is the line up for our session of Time Out For Women. 

FRIDAYPROGRAM

Macy Robison

Musical Dance Theatre, BYU; creator and performer, Children Will Listen: Reflections on Mothering

Music Artist
Enjoy a unique “cabaret-style” performance featuring music and musings with Macy Robison celebrating the women and mothers in our lives—daughters, stepdaughters, sisters, friends, teachers, wives, stepmothers, daughters-in-law, and mothers. We’ll bring Macy. You bring the tissues.

What Are You Waiting For?
Do you ever feel like you're waiting for a new opportunity or a new week (or a new year)? And while you're waiting, it seems that life is on hold? Although the scriptures invite us to “wait patiently for the Lord” (Psalm 40:1), nowhere do they tell us to sit while we’re waiting. There are things life can’t wait for you to do and that you aren’t expected to wait for—even while you might have to wait on the Lord for a time.

Brad Wilcox

Associate professor, BYU; former mission president; author, The Continuous Atonement

No Other Name
In Third Nephi Jesus said that His people will know His name. As we learn more about each of the names and titles of the Savior, we can begin to see more clearly all that He has to offer us. There is no other name that can do all the good for us that His name can and will do.

SATURDAYPROGRAM

Hilary Weeks

Top-selling female LDS artist; singer; songwriter; author; albums include If I Only Had Today and Every Step

Music Artist
You said you can't imagine TOFW without her; happily, you don't have to. Hilary is not just a great songwriter and incredible performer; she is first and foremost a woman—a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. Her humor and her testimony make every event perfect.

Chris Williams

Executive, IBM; author, soon to be released, Let It Go

Letting Go
After the car Chris and his family were driving in was hit by a drunk driver, the first thing he remembers hearing were the words, “Let it go.” That invitation was key to a road of forgiveness and recovery as Chris dealt with the loss of his wife and two children. And he has learned that in “letting go,” you can prepare to be open to receive all the Lord has to offer.

DeAnne Flynn

Author, The Time-Starved Family and A Mother’s Mite

What Mothers Forget to Remember
Mental meltdowns, brain cramps, “momnesia" moments—most of us are all too familiar with frequent forgetfulness. And we sometimes even fail to remember what is truly essential for our families, and for us. But by re-memorizing a few simple principles, by heart, we can (and will) realize greater joy and success as we seek the good in motherhood.

John Hilton III

Religious instructor; co-author, WHY? and HOW?

543 Questions
Did you know there are 543 questions asked in the Book of Mormon? What do these questions mean and why are they relevant to us? John will focus on just a few of the key questions and help us learn how to apply these and other questions to our lives today.

Julie de Azevedo Hanks

Clinical Director, Utah's Wasatch Family Therapy; author; songwriter

Your Most Authentic Self
We women have a tendency to get busy and forget ourselves. It’s our strength but can also be our weakness. There are some key ingredients to making sure you have all of yourself to give while still protecting the parts of you that make you…you! Learn how to have a healthier sense of self, prioritize your own personal development, and better understand the role of healthy emotional management.

Emily Watts

Senior editor, Deseret Book Company; author, I Hate It When Exercise Is the Answer

Saving the Princess
Many popular video games feature a quest to “save the princess.” The more you know about the game (some people even publish books of “hints’), the better your chance of finding all the treasures along the way that will make your quest successful. Emily Watts takes us on a quest of our own, offering hints around every corner that can help the good prevail. The princess you save might just be you!
