Eyre Fire for Saren (and April)

The Power of Moms Retreat in St.George this weekend was simply spectacular! No one will ever know what it took to pull that off but Saren and April really did it!  There are professional training sessions for almost every career, except Motherhood…the most important career.  One that changes lives forever!

Another wonderful presenter and web-site helper (Allyson) came from CA with April and did a terrific job!

It was so fun to have Shawni there too! So many of the moms there were her blog fans and it was so fun for her to put faces to names and for them to see her in person! She added so much to the conference. Her best friend from elementary school, Mindy Richards was even there.

It was so fun to do a session with our wonderful Saren and Shawni! ! can’t imagine what I’m saying here:

Thirty amazing moms showed up to be filled with great ideas to contribute their own inspiring ideas.  They received tools to be not only better moms but better people inside the mom!

Another fun surprise was seeing Tiffany Unwin who some of your Eyrealmers will recognize because we knew as a little girl when we lived in England (in the back in pink). She was not only there but is helping with the web site. Also two of Dave’s terrific cousins (Kara front and center) and Heather (at another table) were there. Too bad i didn’t catch everyone but you’ll see that later on Saren’s and Shawni’s blogs.

It was fun, inspiring and even exhilarating to see so many wonderful moms together working for the same cause…to be better moms and to teach other moms to love their jobs and be better moms as well!  This is just the first of many exciting retreats to come!

We LOVED having you at the Retreat. You are so sweet, encouraging, down-to-earth, and fabulous. Thank you for your example. Love you!

Ditto! It was such a thrill for me to finally meet the woman behind the books I've been reading for years. And an even bigger thrill to sit alongside you and share ideas. You are so gracious - thank you!

Sister Eyre, It was such a pleasure to meet you at Saren's home and to hear you speak of your tried and true motherhood secrets. Thank you for your continued inspiration. I am looking forward to your forthcoming books and to hopefully visiting with you again at another Power of Moms retreat. Thanks again.
