This garden was one of my favorite parts of Nauvoo… it was a statue garden dedicated to women, and I expected it to be statues of pioneer women from the city.  Instead, it was a beautiful depiction of womanhood in all its stages… starting with a young woman, with statues depicting spiritual and intellectual growth, marriage, motherhood of a young child, then a family, then of older children, and finally at the end of the garden there was a beautiful statue of an elderly woman sitting in a rocker, quilting, that was entitled simply "fulfillment."  It captured exactly my feelings on what I want my life to be about – and that while some may find fulfillment in a great job or public honors or financial success –  I love to think I could be like the woman at the end, and find fulfillment and great joy in the work I have done in my home.
