Not Your Mother’s Salon

A “salon” is defined as a gathering of eminent people, held to increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. The Mormon Women Project is holding their second annual salon event entitled, “Crafting a Deliberate Life: Making Choices That Are Purposeful, Personal, and Powerful” on Saturday November 5th, 2011 in the Joseph Smith Building in [...]

You Really Need to Read This

As the official Announcements Writer for Segullah, I’ve been tasked with reminding you that the newest issue of Segullah is going to press and only those with subscriptions will get a copy of this particular issue.  I could make statements like “ACT NOW!”  or “The time is far spent!” or “This will make the perfect [...]

Time is Running Out

Justice, Mercy, and Other Mysteries (Also, It’s Time to Send Your Submission to Our Journal)

Last fall I talked briefly about how, in 1999, we discovered that my husband’s trusted business partner had been embezzling large sums of money and engaging in some other dishonest business practices that put my husband’s company in jeopardy and almost drove us to bankruptcy. This man had stood in the priesthood circle just months [...]

Book Club Reminder: Room by Emma Donoghue Next Thursday

Segullah’s book club will be discussing Room by Emma Donoghue next Thursday, May 19th. It’s a relatively quick read, so if you can get your hands on a copy you still have time to finish the novel and join us. Below you’ll find a quick plot summary, borrowed from Amazon.com. I’ve also included a few [...]

Have you seen my guest post?

Come to find out the answer to that question (which may be posed in the minds of many of you) is… no. I come bearing humble apologies today. Oh the blessings and curses of technology! Somehow our guest post submission page has been placing all the submitted guest posts in a certain inbox—which unfortunately we haven’t been checking—or were even aware of, for [...]

Reminders: Book Club and Contests

Hello friends. We’re only a few hours from the end of 2010, and it seems to me that now is a great time to make a resolution for 2011. How about this? Resolved: I will read more classic literature! I’ve actually wanted to do this myself, which is why it seemed like a great idea [...]

A Worthy Goal

This spirit rushed into the chapel as a brother from Iran gave the opening prayer Sunday. With all sincerity he prayed, thankful that we were not wet, we were warm, we had a building to be in and that our lives were not in danger. It gave me pause. Currently there are over 300,000 child soldiers [...]

Black Friday? Pshaw — Spend it at the Segullah Store Instead!

Do you really want to get up early this morning, stand in long lines in the cold, and potentially engage in fisticuffs over the last $100 LCD TV?  I didn’t think so.  Spend it instead in your jammies and bunny slippers, sitting in front of a roaring fire and your laptop, sipping creamy hot chocolate, [...]

Book Club Reminder: Mockingjay Next Thursday

A quick reminder to those interested in participating in our first ever book club discussion: we’ll be discussing Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins here on the blog next Thursday, Nov. 18th. You have less than a week to finish reading it, but there’s still time. Anyone who’s read the book is welcome to participate in the [...]

Announcing Segullah’s New Short Short Fiction Contest

Contests in both creative nonfiction and poetry have been sponsored by Segullah for years now, but I’m excited to announce that we’re adding a short short fiction contest to our lineup.

Segullah’s New Book Club. Yes, It’s About Time!

Ever since I joined Segullah three years ago (three whole years? seriously?) I’ve been wanting to form a book club with the articulate, intelligent, book-loving women who frequent this blog. Myself, I’m a book club person. Especially when my kids were small, I looked forward to my monthly book club outing with a little thrill [...]
