Yesterday I was gone all day was not able to blog about my kind act for the day. However, I did some kind things yesterday... I was "the choir" mom. I rode the bus. I brought snacks. I carried everyone's stuff. I cheered them on as they competed in the state choir competition. Today I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 180 and 181

Dancing Through Life and Into May
What a week! John and I worked in the garden last Saturday. We got the strawberry box ready to go and a boxed cleaned, rototiller, and planted lettuce, swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. We have to more boxes to go. I really wanted to work on them today but... that didn't happen. It will… Continue reading Dancing Through Life and Into May
Humble Confidence
I have been thinking a lot about this quote lately. I think it has become my motto in the past month because I am seeing so many people who feel they are "too good" to take a small part, to learn something more, or to need real rehearsal. Dame Judi Dench is one of the… Continue reading Humble Confidence
#bethelight – Day 179
Today I decided that my oldest kid needed some mom TLC... so for my act of kindness today I took her lunch, brought "fancy" pizza for dinner, and fought with her lawn mower for 1.5 hours in a feeble attempt to mower her yard. Sadly, I am not sure I made a difference. Between the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 179
A Warrior is an Optimist
One of the greatest "Warrior Women" I know is my friend Jo. She moved away and man, I miss her. I miss our chats and our mutual rants. I miss her wild hair ideas and the "projects" she gets me into. I miss her support of my activities and I miss supporting her in her… Continue reading A Warrior is an Optimist
It’s Time to Bring Back and Rethink Home Economic Classes

Be sure to go back and check them out here and here and here. I am a definite fan of music and theatre in the… Continue reading It’s Time to Bring Back and Rethink Home Economic Classes
#bethelight – Day 178
Some days I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day that I often need little reminders to think outside of myself and think of others. I do know that a small gesture of kindness can not only make someone else's day, it makes me feel good too. So why don't… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 178
#bethelight – Day 177
Today I put up a bird feeder. Our little bird friends need some kindness.... right? I hope they come and sing for me... LOL. Sing for their supper!
#bethelight – Day 176
Today I will extend an act of kindness toward myself... I will take a walk. Taking care of my body is the most important thing I can do for myself... well at least I am learning that. I have been taking myself for walks for several days now. I am noticing that I sleep better. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 176
58 weeks and counting!
Week 2 of intermittent fasting using the 16:8 eating style. Interestingly, I have plenty of energy. I think I actually feel better without a constant surge insulin coursing through my body with snacking and small meals throughout the day. There is something to this... for my body at least. The scale? That is still a… Continue reading 58 weeks and counting!
