Today I am hosting an Usborne book party. My daughter is an Usborne book consultant, so hosting a party helps her out. I also decided to "pay-it-forward" and to host the party to benefit someone else. First, I love to read. I learned to read late. I struggled learning to read. At third grade I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 165
I feel like I see so much judgement in the world today... Lots and lots of pointing fingers. Today I have a simple suggestion for an act of kindness: Be empathetic – Really try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

Sometimes it is hard to stay positive on long hard days. Staying positive is a great act of kindness! Stay positive!

I spent time chatting with my parents on the phone. We spent time with Kimber, Ray Ben, Freya and Holland today… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 161

We chatted about sharing the cost of a new fence too. Spread light and kindness. Go out and… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 160
Today was such a busy day! It seems like I say that every day... At any rate... Today I spent my day serving. I got up early and was at the high school by 6:30. It was pageant rehearsal and I needed to prep before their 7 am call. After rehearsal I raced to a… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 159
Okay... my month has been crazy and I missed blogging about the birthday boy. This month John passes the big 5-0 and moves on to the big 5-1. Dude... you are so old.
