Mother's Day

Hope all had a good day. We tried to chill as much as possible. Crepes, Creme Brule, super yummy dinner (spinach artichoke stuffed chicken with steamed greens). All in all it was just nice spending time with one another.









the amount of flowers may seem overkill, but it was our anniversary as well.



The Stephanie Nielson Story....




This was a truly a choice experience to be involved with. As the Mormon Messages on YouTube grew, I knew that Stephanie's story would be a great piece to share. It seemed most the news channels and even Oprah focused so much on the drama of the accident, but nobody really touch the spiritual side of it, and to me, that is what was so amazing about the Nielsons. The more I thought about the experience they went through, the more aware I was of how our spirit is who we really are. Luckily, when I approached them, they were already fans of the Mormon Messages, and were more than willing to let us into their lives for a couple of days.

It was also amazing how the whole piece came together. With Chris Clark and Patrick Parker (two fellow co-workers and brilliant filmmakers) we were able to brainstorm ideas how we thought her message should be shared, and how it would connect to her audience. We were able to execute our vision, and it was amazing how many committees reviewed the final cut with little or no changes. it was like an anomaly in the typical committee review process. So it was a lot of fun to be able to start a creation from start to finish, keeping true to how we envisioned how it should be.

Thanks again to the Nielson family. You were truly inspirational to work with.

Enjoy the video.

P.S. A lot of people ask about the music. It is Mindy Gledhill.

P.P.S. We did agree that it was very cruel of us to have her make a snow angel, when her blog clearly states that the cold hurts her burned skin.
