Okay... I am back on the soap box today for Thought Tuesday. It's been a few months in development. As I volunteer in the high school I am noticing an alarming trend within the adults-in-training that I serve. This trend is often diagnosed as laziness. However, I believe it is a lack of training... and… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Real Adults Take Responsibility for Themselves

#bethelight – Day 91
As usual, today is a nuts! It's finals at school. Kids need help right and left. There is rehearsal and lessons. Seriously! I don't have time to do something "special" when it comes to kindness. I can go out of my way to be kind. I can be intentional with my words and deeds. I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 91

Please know, I did… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 89
#bethelight – Day 88

All too often, entitlement creeps in and the feeling that we "deserve" something eclipses the efforts necessary to earn our real goals. Perhaps it's because we… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 88
And Our Missionary is Off
It's been a couple of weeks since I reported on the family comings and goings. We have been busy! We closed The Bully Plays. It was a class project. It was super fun for me have Lilli in this class. You can read more about how this production went here. Lili has been in… Continue reading And Our Missionary is Off
#bethelight – Day 87
This morning I was drinking a glass of water and I started thinking about how lucky we are to have clean water - even filtered water - right in the comfort of our homes. I thought about when I was a kid and water came to my house in a truck and my parents would… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 87
#bethelight – Day 86
Today for my act of kindness I went to Kimber's house and washed her dishes after I had a full day of school, an orthodontic appointment for Lilli, rehearsal, and a small little job of getting some lights for an assembly tomorrow. I'm ready for bed.
