As a part of its 140th anniversary the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began a Legacy Lecture series in March 1982. These Lectures have continued on a monthly basis since. Many women have been invited to share their talents and skills, illustrating the great contribution of the women of the Church. They subjects of the lectures represent choices they've made and the diligence and dedication they've shown toward achieving excellence. Emotions. We all have them. How well we know them and what we do with them is important. In this exploration of how our emotions affect our thoughts, Bonnie Spanvill helps us understand the pervasiveness of our emotions and how we can use them as powerful influences for good, rather than as distractions in our lives. She focuses on being sensitive to our emotions, listening to, interpreting, and learning to trust them. A careful distinction is made between culturally induced emotions and those that are a natural part of being human. She especially emphasizes helping children learn about their emotions and understanding the relationship between emotions and spiritual development. (Converted from Cassette)
