Still working on a Veggie Life

It has now been 1 year and 100 pounds since I started this "nutritiarian" way of life.  I can't say it's been easy, but I can say it has been worth it.  I am hopeful that this next year I will be successful in ridding myself of an additional 100 pounds.  I still won't reach… Continue reading Still working on a Veggie Life

Scripture Sunday

“I Will Go and Do…”

Today I have been thinking about an old scripture mastery... I think it may still be a scripture mastery, but I'm not sure because I am no longer teaching seminary.  This scripture may be the first scripture I ever memorized... way back when I was in seminary. "And it came to pass that I, Nephi,… Continue reading “I Will Go and Do…”

#bethelight – Day 141

This morning, as I was cleaning out the fridge for breakfast before our small road trip, I started to think about Jack Johnson's song, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  It is an act of kindness...  sometimes to your pocket book, sometimes to the environment, sometimes to your neighbors.  It is easy.  Turn of the light when you… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 141

#bethelight – Day 140

Today I am noticing all the cool things God has created.  It's a little rainy today, and yet it's a beautiful day.  There aren't any roses too smell, but slowing down to "'smell the roses" is an act of kindness for yourself and for those who are around you!

#bethelight – Day 139

Give away your change.  Today I donated all my change to a fundraiser at school.  Think of all the coins you just have laying around.  You can put them to good use!  They aren't doing any good bouncing around the bottom of your purse.  So dig it all up and donate it!

Family Friday

Approaching Spring

Spring is here!  My little flowers are beginning to peak their little heads out.  But the craziest thing happened!  Today it snowed! What the heck!  Its two days into spring.  I'm ready to play in the garden.  I am also looking forward to my roses blooming. This week I mustered up a little energy and… Continue reading Approaching Spring

#bethelight – Day 138

Today I decided to  make the little things count.  Little things like holding the door open or letting someone go before you all count.  We are all so busy.  We are all rushing around through life.  We often don't consider the feelings of others.  A simple little gesture is a good reminder for me to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 138
