There's something about pointe shoes that makes them almost impossible to throw away once we're finished dancing in them. Which is why I LOVE what my guest in this episode is doing...Meet Emily Thorpe, a fellow adult dancer and the founder of PointeReve, a small business that transforms used pointe shoes into beautiful works of art.We reflect on what pointe shoes represent for us as adult ballerinas, the significance and memories they carry, and how turning them into art can feel like a way of honoring the journey rather than throwing it out.If you love pointe shoes — for their symbolism, their craftsmanship, or the stories they hold — you're going to love this conversation with Emily. Let's get into episode 100!

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [CHRISTMAS]“The Matchless Gift of God's Divine Son”December 22 – December 28, 2025WEEK 52 SUMMARYThe Prophet Joseph Smith declared, “The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2011], 49). Over 160 years later, this statement inspired the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to publish “The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles” in honor of the 2,000th anniversary of the Savior's birth (see Russell M. Nelson, “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 40).As Latter-day Saints, we rejoice in the blessing of continuing revelation through modern prophets and apostles. We are thankful for their inspired words of counsel, warning, and encouragement. But most of all, we are blessed by their powerful testimonies of Jesus Christ—at Christmastime and throughout the year. These are more than just stirring words of skilled writers or public speakers or insights from scriptural experts. They are the words of God's chosen, called, and authorized “special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world” (Doctrine and Covenants 107:23).OBJECT LESSON 1: "Joy to the World": Shadow NativityCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 ANNOUNCEMENT00:02:08 INTRO00:14:42 WOMEN IN THE SCRIPTURES01:33:50 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 94-97]“For the Salvation of Zion”September 1 – September 7, 2025WEEK 36 SUMMARY=================In June–August 1833, the Saints in Kirtland and Missouri received revelations addressing both sacred building and spiritual preparation. Section 94 directed the construction of two key structures in Kirtland—a printing house and a church building—emphasizing order, planning, and consecrated labor as essential to Zion's growth. Section 95, a rebuke and encouragement, reminded the Saints that their delay in building the Kirtland Temple was disobedience; yet God, in mercy, promised His presence, endowment of power, and angelic visitations if they acted faithfully. Section 96 provided direction regarding the French farm in Kirtland, appointing stewardship over the land for the welfare of the Church, reflecting the law of consecration in practice. Finally, Section 97, sent to Missouri during increasing persecution, counseled the Saints on building the Lord's house in Zion (Independence), teaching that Zion is defined by the pure in heart, that chastisement is an expression of God's love, and that righteousness and temple-centered worship bring both divine protection and peace.
