As Mormon Momma turned 11-years-old yesterday, I thought about the friendships and conversations that have transpired here over the years.

I am grateful to readers who have shared thoughts (and links!). I am grateful to the other writers who have contributed so much and given voice to a variety of viewpoints. I am grateful to have a forum to share my thoughts, ideas, and struggles.

Thank you for being part of Mormon Momma, whatever your role.

May 2014 be a year of much joy and many good memories. May you grow and learn and be happy in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
