#bethelight – Day 109

Today I got doughnuts for my cast and I got an extra box of doughnuts for a family I know.  I don't see them very often any more.  I used to see them every day.  The little boy, who is now 8, would come to my house everyday while his mom was at work.  It's… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 109

Aspects of Love

We celebrated love this week with Valentine's Day.  It's got me thinking more about all of the aspects of love.  I looked at an old blog post I posted many years ago and decided to give it a face lift... adding a little here and there from a few more years of experience. One of… Continue reading Aspects of Love

#bethelight – Day 108

Wow!  What a week!  I guess several 16 hour days in a row can do a person in.  I just woke up.  My body is fighting a cold.  I may have slept in of the last 24 hours and I am ready to go back to bed.  LOL.  I guess my act of kindness today… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 108

#bethelight – Day 106

Yesterday I looked for a way to spread kindness.  I discovered I could help a child in need, a student I adore, and a great cause all in one!  Our school is currently holding a fund raiser to raise money for a little girl in our community who has recently been diagnosed with a serious… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 106

Happy Valentine's Day!  Once again we have arrived at that anticipated-day-of-romance-often-dreaded-by-singles.  So, in the spirit of spreading joy and love, send something to someone special to someone who is not expecting it!  Send flowers to someone who dreads this day.  Today, I will on the look out for someone who is trying to avoid Valentine's… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 105

Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?

I've made an observation that just amazes me... cooking is a practical skill that has been discarded along the wayside.  It's not just teens who have forgotten the benefits of cooking nutritious meals at home.  I was sitting by some ladies this weekend who were chatting away about how they "eat out" 3-4 times a… Continue reading Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?
