With the close of the school year I have been thinking more and more about some of the kids I have been around all day and how I have seen them grow and change throughout the year. Some of them I will not see again. They were here as exchange students and have returned to… Continue reading Theatre- My Safe Place

#bethelight – Day 219 and 220
Yesterday's kindnesses were really a win/win. I went and enjoyed a dinner and a movie with a good friend. It's been awhile since we have had the opportunity to do something together. It was a win for both of us. I think we both needed to "friend" time - some time to just be... Today… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 219 and 220
#bethelight – Day 218
Yesterday I gave out candy leis. This morning I was thinking of my Polynesian friends and family. I've never been to the islands. I think I might like to go one day. But I do know about "Living Aloha." In Hawaiian culture, aloha means kindness, bringing unity, politeness, humility, and enduring. if you live your… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 218
Warriors Fight for the Love of Those Behind Them
This is why we are warriors... for the people we love. This includes family, but most especially, God.
#bethelight – Day 217
Today was the last day of school. I decided to give my overworked and under-thanked friends a little "bling" for making it through the year! Thanks Joanna for teaching me how to make these. Clearly they put smiles on the faces of my friends at school. Hope you all have a great summer!
Not My Responsibility

#bethelight – Day 215 and 216
Yesterday was the last day of the World Theatre class and today is the last day for the production class. I decided to give them treats. I got some foods from the countries that we studied for the World Theatre class. It was silly and fun. I made cinnamon rolls for the production class. Sometimes… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 215 and 216
Not the Wisest Choices
I am still unable to take a picture and record what I ate. I have also found that a small lack in accountability has given me licence to "cheat." For example, we went to the Tillamook cheese factory and bought my daughter squeaky cheese. I love squeaky cheese. I ate some. I did pay for… Continue reading Not the Wisest Choices
Journey to Be a Goodly Parent
Today I was studying 1 Nephi (a book I am very familiar with as I have read it multiple times). I was impressed with Nephi saying he was the son of "goodly parents." What made them "goodly?" I looked up "goodly" in the dictionary. Here are a few of the definitions I found: Of good… Continue reading Journey to Be a Goodly Parent
#bethelight – Day 214
Went to the beach to support my kids who were involved with our friends sand castle competition. I held the baby and kept him happy so that my daughter could feel more involved with her families team. It was fun to watch my husband fly his kite and play with the grand kids too. We… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 214
