#bethelight – Day 223

Today has been a good day... although I've been distracted and not as on top of it as I need to be.  I gave a man $2 to get a cup of coffee.  He ask for 60 cents.  It was worth seeing his face to give him the $2.    I helped out at the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 223

#bethelight – Day 222

Today Lilli and I started some "spring cleaning" projects.  You might not think that spring cleaning is an act of kindness, but it is.  Our house has a nice fresh smell now.  🙂  Visitors... you are welcome.  LOL.  Also, I hired two boys who are working on earning a little money for their missions to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 222

This is Not a Diet

Sadly, there is still no camera to record my eating and to keep me in check.  On the up side, I have succeeded in continuing to eat a plant based diet.  I did have one exception this past week when I went to dinner with my good friend.  I ate Eggplant Parmesan.  It was the… Continue reading This is Not a Diet

#bethelight – Day 221

Today I put off things I was hoping to do for things other people needed me to do...

School is now over and we are racing into summer.  Lillian got to go on a little road trip with Chad.  He was in Oregon for a visit and drove to Idaho Falls for a wedding and back.  Lilli went to help keep him awake.  Other than being left at the mall during the… Continue reading Trucking into Summer

Theatre Thursday

Theatre- My Safe Place

With the close of the school year I have been thinking more and more about some of the kids I have been around all day and how I have seen them grow and change throughout the year.  Some of them I will not see again.  They were here as exchange students and have returned to… Continue reading Theatre- My Safe Place

#bethelight – Day 219 and 220

Yesterday's kindnesses were really a win/win.  I went and enjoyed a dinner and a movie with a good friend.  It's been awhile since we have had the opportunity to do something together.  It was a win for both of us.  I think we both needed to "friend" time - some time to just be... Today… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 219 and 220

#bethelight – Day 218

Yesterday I gave out candy leis.  This morning I was thinking of my Polynesian friends and family.  I've never been to the islands.  I think I might like to go one day.  But I do know about "Living Aloha." In Hawaiian culture, aloha means kindness, bringing unity, politeness, humility, and enduring.  if you live your… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 218
