I am feeling a little better today. That is a plus. I've been thinking about different takes on acts of kindness. Today I realized that using my words and choosing words wisely is an act of kindness. When I was a kid I read... a LOT! If I wasn't in school, doing homework, or helping… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 137

#bethelight – Day 136
Another day of being a sub. I may have gone back to busy too fast. I went back because many of my teacher friends have all caught this nasty bug! I do have to admit, I don't have the same energy. It is hard to be patient with kids with attitudes.
Eating While sick… hard to track
I did not get many pictures for food over the last week. I had great intentions... and then the germs took over. I was sick in bed from Tuesday night through Monday morning. Today was the first day I really got up and did anything. Better luck next week. Being sick, I didn't eat much.… Continue reading Eating While sick… hard to track
#bethelight – day 135
Today I got out and about for the first time since last Tuesday. I got up out of my bed because my friend needed me. I still feel gross. I still go into coughing fits. However, my friend, a music teacher, caught the nasty bug (maybe even from me) and I went in and worked… Continue reading #bethelight – day 135
#bethelight – Day 130-134
Wow! So sick. I have not been this kind of sick in a very long time. My act of kindness has been to stay home. Kind to myself and kind to others. No one else needs this germ. It's not good. I wonder how many more days will it have me knocked out...

Letting Go
Letting go of stuff today.
Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
It has taken me a few years, but I have finally figured out what it means to be happy.

It really is that simple. The Lord teaches that wickedness never was happiness and he teaches happiness is actually a choice.
How does one choose happiness?
Let go. That’s how you do it. Let go of the things that don’t make you happy. Let go of all things you don’t want or need. Let go of bad habits. Let go of peer pressure. Let go of poisonous thoughts and feelings. Let go of negative people in your life. Let go of unrealistic expectations.
It isn’t easy to let go. You can do it!
Here are some ideas of things you can let go of for the happiness you seek:
Let go!
Let go of needing to know what will happen next and the need to be right. The need to be…

Man! Still fighting this illness. Pay back for slipping up is no fun!

Okay.. Last week wasn’t the best in eating. It’s not like I went crazy and ate a bag of M&M. In fact, I didn’t eat sugar. I didn’t drink soda. I didn’t eat a steak. I just didn’t eat the whole foods and veggies I normally do. I didn’t take the time for a veggie based breakfast. I didn’t take the time to make a salad for lunch. I ate “out” a couple of times. OH… and I didn’t take pictures of any of my foods.
You see, I was super busy with the close of my show. I wasn’t home 2 Saturdays in a row to prep my week. I wasn’t home at dinner time to make food. As a result, I ate in an unhealthy vegetarian manner. Crackers… some cheese… a piece of cheese pizza… a veggie burrito that someone brought me and forgot to take off the…

Look Beyond What You See
I love these thoughts and ideas.
Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
I have been living and breathing the story of Lion King over the past few months. I had the honor of directing Lion King Jr at a local school. I cherished the opportunity to bring to life one of my favorite stories… a story full of symbolism and meaning… a story that strengthens my faith.
While some may dismiss Disney’s masterwork, The Lion King, as a children’s story, they fail to see that, like most fairy-tales, it contains deep themes. A couple of these themes truly stand out for me. This is completely what the story says to me and really had no reflection on the people at Disney.
First, I’d like to suggest that the characters themselves are symbols in this story. Even the meanings of their names in Swahili give us insight into this story.
Mufasa = Jesus
Rafiki = the Holy Ghost or prophets; means friend

It’s a Big Week!
What a week! I have spent the majority of it in bed! A sickness hit me like a ton of bricks. My chest hurts. I cough non-stop. I had a fever, but that has calmed now. My body aches, especially my head! I didn't get out of bed for nearly 4 days. I only got… Continue reading It’s a Big Week!
