What Happened to the Golden Rule?

Being kind is worth the work!

Tomorrow we open our latest production at school… The Bully PlaysThe Bully Plays are a collection of 10 minute plays created to inspire the end of bullying.  However, I have to admit that I am confused as to why this is an issue.  Whatever happened to “The Golden Rule?”  Has the Golden Rule gone out of style?

bullying (1)

“Treat others the way you want to be treated,”  How many times have I heard that in my life?  It was a lesson my mom taught me before I even got to school.  I heard this lesson although elementary school, junior high, and a bit in high school.  Throughout my entire life I have always thought of it and tried my best to live it.

Sadly, as I have grown older I have noticed that the world has gotten meaner?  Back in my youth I only needed to worry about when…

Busy Week!

Eating well is worth the work!

wboyack's avatarResigning as the General Manager of the Universe

I’d say I had an ok week eating wise.  I do need to get a handle on what time of day I eat.  I often get home late and end up eating dinner around 9 or 10 pm.  With my busy schedule (work/school, rehearsals, and performances) I need to find a way to prep and pack 2 meals.  Time is such an issue.

Monday was a vacation day.  I ate left over Chocolate “cake” for breakfast (hey!  It was vacation).  Click here for the recipe.  I ate Veggie pot stickers for lunch.  Click here for the recipe.  We made a lovely Black Bean Enchilada for dinner.  Click here for the recipe.

On Tuesday I finished off the Chinese Tofu Salad for breakfast.  Click here for the recipe.  For lunch I ate left over Black Bean Enchilada.  Click here for the recipe.  For dinner we made Curried Lentils for dinner.  Click

The Gift of the Holy Ghost

Some gifts are worth the work to keep!

This past Christmas we gave my daughter a new cell phone.  This phone can help her to keep in touch with her parents.  This phone can give her knowledge when she has a desire to search.  This phone can guide her when she needs direction.  This phone can help her to stay connected to things of importance.  This phone has a flash light and can illuminate her way.  When she is lost, this phone can help us to find her.  This phone is constantly with her!

This gift of a phone is kind of like the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

Okay… I may be stretching it a bit, but stick with me.  Hopefully, I can make it all make sense.

#bethelight – Day 75

Today I decided to spread light by listening.  So many people need listening ear. Listening can change lives.  People don't always need advice.  Sometimes they just need a listening ear and positive reinforcement.

Satisfaction Saturday

Satisfied with letting Go at InnerFocus

For the past couple of months I have been meeting with my friend Sherry on reducing the effects of stress in my life.  It's been life changing. See... I had come to a point in my journey were I felt stuck. I needed something to jump start my inner change to support the outer changes… Continue reading Satisfied with letting Go at InnerFocus

Family Friday

From Mama Bear to Mama Swan

This week I wasn't very good about taking pictures of the family activities.  We were super busy with school, work, opening a show, and prepping to send Hannah off on her mission.  I really should do better at it though, or Family Friday will begin to get rather boring!  Perhaps what I should do is… Continue reading From Mama Bear to Mama Swan

#bethelight – Day 73

Today I am taking stock of my daily activity.  Am I giving to others?  Do I have balance in my life?  Am I charity minded? I'm working on it. I am finding that contributing to a cause keeps me in the loop of social issues.  Right now my focus is education and arts in education. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 73

Theatre Thursday

Basic Path of Sound

I recently attempted to teach the basics of sound engineering to my tech theatre class.  It is tough to teach large classes a subject that I think is best learned hand on when there isn't enough equipment to go around.  I was hoping to keep it simple. The role of a sound system is to… Continue reading Basic Path of Sound
