Ok... I have to admit. There comes a time when you are just stretched too thin to find time to be kind. What I mean is, stretch too thin to find the time to be kind in a specific way or in a kindness project. I've had several 16 hour days as I've been getting… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 107

Our school is currently holding a fund raiser to raise money for a little girl in our community who has recently been diagnosed with a serious… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 106

Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?
I've made an observation that just amazes me... cooking is a practical skill that has been discarded along the wayside. It's not just teens who have forgotten the benefits of cooking nutritious meals at home. I was sitting by some ladies this weekend who were chatting away about how they "eat out" 3-4 times a… Continue reading Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?
#bethelight – Day 104
Today I am going to brag about how others spread the light today. To be honest... I have no idea if I did something kind today. I did help at school. I did run a rehearsal.

#bethelight – Day 103
Today is full of great intentions. Sometimes intentions are where kindness begins. Today I intend on finding people to serve. I really don't have any bright ideas. I am just looking to make someone else's life a little better. Like yesterday... leaving the comfort of my home and the mindless activity of watching the Olympics… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 103
