Today I have been thinking about my friends. How lucky am I? I have great friends. I do have to say how much I miss one friend in particular. My friend Jo is more like a sister.

Adulting 101 – Real Adults Take Responsibility for Themselves
Okay... I am back on the soap box today for Thought Tuesday. It's been a few months in development. As I volunteer in the high school I am noticing an alarming trend within the adults-in-training that I serve. This trend is often diagnosed as laziness. However, I believe it is a lack of training... and… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Real Adults Take Responsibility for Themselves
#bethelight – Day 91
As usual, today is a nuts! It's finals at school. Kids need help right and left. There is rehearsal and lessons. Seriously! I don't have time to do something "special" when it comes to kindness.

Please know, I did… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 89
#bethelight – Day 88
Today I worked hard. I have decided that doing your best and working hard at your job is actually an act of kindness. So often complacency supplants hard work. All too often, entitlement creeps in and the feeling that we "deserve" something eclipses the efforts necessary to earn our real goals. Perhaps it's because we… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 88

#bethelight – Day 87
