#bethelight – Day 271 and 272

I have spent the past two days helping my friends with their play.  I have also been prepping my house for my kids to all move back in.... and this evening, I acted on a thought and reached out to a friend who I hadn't seen for a couple of weeks and knew was struggling. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 271 and 272

Menu Monday

I am enjoying all the fresh fruits and veggies that are available.  Cherries are some of my favorites!  On Monday I enjoyed cherries and a veggie burrito.  Then, I enjoyed a great salad with a Mexican twist. On Tuesday I ate the leftovers of the marinara sauce full of shredded zucchini from my garden and… Continue reading

#bethelight – Day 270

Today I went to the local farmer's market.  I LOVE the farmer's market!  It is so friendly and the stuff there is fresh and awesome!  Not only do I get great fruits and veggies, I am supporting local people who are clearly working hard.  Be kind to the farmers and shop at the farmers' market. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 270

Family Friday

Summer!

The week opened with SLEEP!  Lilli and I were completely wiped out from the long haul of CET.  However, that didn't stop us from tackling a couple projects throughout the week. First, John wrapped his visit to Utah on business with a visit with his sister and his parents.  He only spent a few waking… Continue reading Summer!

#bethelight – Day 268 and 269

Yesterday I worked on my garage disaster... but at a slow pace.  I decided it is okay to give myself permission to take it easy.  The last few weeks of hustle and bustle took it out of me.  The simple joys of life are always missed when you are in a hurry.  It's been nice… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 268 and 269

Theatre Thursday

Blockbuster

I can't really explain it, but I have to admit, what is a summer without watching Jaws?  Today I watched Jaws as I worked on a few projects around the house.  First of all, I will be honest, the film isn't really about a shark... or is it?  I read the book when I was… Continue reading Blockbuster

Warrior Wednesday

Warrior Woman Spirit

I speak to so many people who don't believe in their own abilities... their abilities to succeed... their abilities to be happy... their abilities to weather the storms of life.  I even doubt myself on occasions.  You know, when life gets overwhelming. I worry about my warrior daughters.  I worry about my warrior friends.  I… Continue reading Warrior Woman Spirit

#bethelight – Day 267

I just realized that I only have 100 days left to complete my goal of 365 days of kindness!  I have learned so much from this little experiment of mine.  Kindness really does start with me.  My attitude about all aspects of life has changed.  I am firmer and firmer in my faith and testimony,… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 267

Thought Tuesday

Learning My R’s

The little town of Salem is beginning to have some big city problems.  Trash.  Everywhere.  When we go to the Oregon beaches, we see trash.  As you drive down the street you see trash.  Trash is becoming a real issue. I read that on average, Americans discard about 33.6 million tons of plastic waste each… Continue reading Learning My R’s
