Okay... I missed blogging about kindness yesterday. It was a long day. We had two shows at Lion King, strike and a cast party. I didn't get home until one in the morning. Being busy is no excuse... so kindness continued. Dispute several late nights and early morning, and what seemed like endless amounts of… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 125 and 126

#bethelight – Day 124
Today I was a sub. Let me tell you... teachers do not get enough credit. Teachers are not only responsible for the subjects they teach. They are responsible for the well being of the students. They are often called upon to be a nutritionist, a counselor, a booboo fixer, and mediator. They often spend 1000… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 124
Carving out the Savannah – creating foam rocks
There are 3 more performances of Lion King Jr. I love the work of art we have created. It is truly beautiful... a visual feast! As the set designer, I needed to keep things simple. With 63 cast members, I needed as much floor space as possible. I also needed to create Pride Rock, an… Continue reading Carving out the Savannah – creating foam rocks
#bethelight – Day 123
I have read some great blog posts lately. Here the thing... I think it is spreading light to leave a comment, share, like, etc. an article that you find helpful, moving, or enlightening.

#bethelight – Day 122
Today I decided to try my best to be a "contagious optimist." I am just noticing that it is so easy to judge other or to take for granted the people we love... or even the people we randomly meet. It is so easy to get caught up in my own busy-ness that I forget… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 122
Preparing for Extraordinary
Many of the people around me are suffering great disappointment over this past year. So many of the people I know and love feel alone in a sea of endless crashing waves. My heart aches for them. My heart especially aches for those I am closest to and love the most. Don't give up! You… Continue reading Preparing for Extraordinary
#bethelight – Day 121
Today I stand. Today I stand with the sad and the lonely. Today I stand as a witness that their is hope. I don't pretend that I understand everything. I don't. What I do understand is that God knows me and loves me. I can choose to see Him in the crazy things around me… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 121
Not the Best Week, But Hanging In There
What a week! I opened a show and I think I was home to sleep. That was it. Man! It is hard to eat well when you never see a kitchen. For breakfast I had a smoothie. One day I ate mixed veggies. I was craving my mushroom, onion and spinach thing and didn't have… Continue reading Not the Best Week, But Hanging In There
Herding Cats – Backstage with a Large Cast
As you sit down to enjoy your next live theatre performance you may have no idea how much coordination and activity goes on during the performance behind the scenes: rapid costume changes, set changes, lighting and sound cues, mic adjustments, and chaos. Sometimes the "show" behind the stage is just as entertaining as the show… Continue reading Herding Cats – Backstage with a Large Cast
Another Opening, Another show
The best way to describe the past week with the Boyack family this week is a mad dash to opening night of Lion King, Jr. at Central High school. From finishing touches, to long rehearsals, to opening night and sell out houses, it has been a full week. First, the beginning of the week… Continue reading Another Opening, Another show
