I really have been bad about taking pictures these past couple of weeks. I've had to search Facebook, Instagram, John's Flicr, and my phone to find some pictures that represent what has been happening with all of the peeps of the Boyack House. It's spring! We have even had sunny days! John has started some… Continue reading Spring!

#bethelight – Day 167
Day I saw someone from the community that I had noticed at the play last night. This man has had health issues in resent years that have landed him a wheel chair. Today, we were both attending a sports awards. He looked a little lost and alone so I walked over to him. I mentioned… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 167
#bethelight – Day 166
Support local theater! Today I am going to see a little production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang produced by AIM at the local Baptist church. We all need each other in this theater business. Heck! We need each other period! Supporting and cheering on others in their activities help us to grow and to become… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 166
Warriors Never Quit
Okay... I will admit. I have been a little discouraged with this weight loss thing. I have been around the same weight for 4 months now. I have so many more pounds to lose to be in the "safe" zone. I am eating well... look at my Menu Mondays. I am doing what I can… Continue reading Warriors Never Quit
Building a Diverse Theatre
My latest project is to, somehow, build diversity in our theater program. I truly believe that every student in America deserves access to the arts in their school. I believe theater can directly and positively impact a student's academic performance and career preparedness. Yesterday a tech student sat down next to me, "I love theater,"… Continue reading Building a Diverse Theatre
#bethelight – Day 165
Today I am hosting an Usborne book party. My daughter is an Usborne book consultant, so hosting a party helps her out. I also decided to "pay-it-forward" and to host the party to benefit someone else. First, I love to read. I learned to read late. I struggled learning to read. At third grade I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 165
#bethelight – Day 164
I feel like I see so much judgement in the world today... Lots and lots of pointing fingers. Today I have a simple suggestion for an act of kindness: Be empathetic – Really try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Try your best to understand their experiences, challenges and thought process. "If you can learn a… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 164
Adulting 101 – Real Adults are on Time
I am finding that many do not value punctuality. I find that we fail to see that punctuality is related to discipline and self mastery, to integrity and respect. Punctuality is a character trait real adults develop. Real adults are on time! William Makepeace Thayer stated, "The habit of being prompt once formed extends to… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Real Adults are on Time
#bethelight – Day 163
Okay.... Today's act of kindness isn't something I did. Today Is about acts of kindness that prove God is there and answers prayers. This past weekend my daughter and her husband were able to bring home the little boy they are adopting. They travelled to Oklahoma with their 3 1/2 year old and their 1… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 163
Trying Something New to Get Ogg This Stale Mate
This past week I tried "intermittant fasting." I went with the 16:8 theory for this first time trying out this new craze. You may be asking, "why do this now?" Well... I've been in a rut. My health progress has been stale. I've been hoovering at the same weight for about 3 months. I was… Continue reading Trying Something New to Get Ogg This Stale Mate
