A collection of thoughts and resources to bring
hope and joy to my family and others
by Brittany Creel Clinton
It's good to be here with you.
My name is Brittany Creel Clinton, and I'm a native of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States. I was immensely blessed to grow up in a home with kind, loving parents, and one beautiful younger sister, whom I have always adored. In 2006, I married my best friend and high school sweetheart, Taylor, in the Las Vegas Nevada Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we have three super adorable kiddos who were all born in June four years apart: Henry, Jackson, and Evelyn. We all love salty french fries with ketchup, going on fishing trips, and reading good books.
​
I've been a word nerd since I learned how to spell "elephant" in kindergarten, so naturally, I received a bachelor's degree in English literature when I attended Brigham Young University, with minors in copy editing and music.
​
One of my passions is playing and teaching piano. I enjoy the challenge of arranging simplified pieces for my young students who fall in love with a song and want to learn it at their level. Good music nurtures my soul, and it's such a blessing to be able to share my affinity for it with others, including my own children.
​
While I've spent over twenty years sharing my musical talents with others, I've also tried to find ways to use my gifts as a writer and editor. Creating newsletters, polishing up email correspondence, and editing blogs and websites are some of the wordy outlets I've traversed, but I've been feeling a spiritual tug since the summer of 2019 to publish my own thoughts about seeking goodness and to gather inspirational content from others.
​
Whether what I share here benefits only me or perhaps just my family, then I will have succeeded in my efforts. Everyone has a sphere of influence, and I do hope to at least inspire some of my readers to focus more on the goodness we can find in this world. Perhaps I can open up a thoughtful and peaceful dialogue as we gather together in an effort to be more like our Savior, Jesus Christ, and our loving Heavenly Father.

"As ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come. . . .
"If ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.
"And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but to live peaceably, and to render to every man according to that which is his due." —The words of King Benjamin in the Book of Mosiah, chapter 4, verses 11–13, in the Book of Mormon.
