#bethelight – Day 96

"No gesture is too small when done with gratitude." - Oprah Winfrey Giving doesn’t require becoming Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi; we can all find ways of adding high value to others’ lives at a low personal cost. Today I decided to keep it simple... just hold the door open for someone.  It was a… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 96

Scripture Sunday

Contention – Nobody Got Time For That!

"And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another." Mosiah 18:21 I've been thinking about and pondering this scripture for a couple of… Continue reading Contention – Nobody Got Time For That!

Satisfaction Saturday

Loving my Hydro Flask

I just have to say, I love my hydro flask.  This nifty thing keeps my water cold ALL DAY long.  This is most handy on long summer days in the sauna like halls at CET! I admit.  At first I was skeptical.  However, I am so glad I caved and bought one! My hydro flask… Continue reading Loving my Hydro Flask

#bethelight – Day 95

Today I've been thinking... there is something about a handwritten note that feels more meaningful than a text or an email.  Seriously!  In a day and age where convenience trumps sentiment, we long for that one little thing that is personal, that something you can hang one to forever. When was the last time you… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 95

Family Friday

Week 1 of Our Missionary’s Service Down

What a week!  Here is what you missed. I missed Lilli going to SnoBall... I was working. She went with her friend Zoe…  A girl in her choir came over with her sister to help Lilli get ready. I don’t think she liked the makeup.  But she went with it! I think they were pretty… Continue reading Week 1 of Our Missionary’s Service Down

#bethelight – Day 94

Today I spread kindness by mentoring students in a common interest... tech theatre.  I spent the day judging, commenting on, and teaching kids' entries for a Thespian competition.  I believe it is a huge act of service to mentor and share skills and knowledge with the future generations.  It was a great day!  The future… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 94

Theatre Thursday

Delighted with Rainbow Dance Theatre

This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending some time the folks of Rainbow Dance Theater.  They, and the Salem Concert Band, were renters for the theater at the high school. The band played the music and the dance company presented the ballet.  The music and the ballet were inspired by the 1504 paintings… Continue reading Delighted with Rainbow Dance Theatre

#bethelight – Day 93

I have always associated the month of February with love... I guess it's the whole Valentine's day thing. I read this quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today: "Love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world." I couldn't agree more! Today I chose to focus on loving... loving people...… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 93

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior Chooses the Harder Right

There are days that are best described on the pages of Harry Potter.  Ever since the books were released, I have been inspired by their pages.  Some how, Dumbledore has wise words for every situation.  Take these quotes, for example: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our… Continue reading A Warrior Chooses the Harder Right
