Letting Go

It has taken me a few years, but I have finally figured out what it means to be happy. It really is that simple.  The Lord teaches that wickedness never was happiness and he teaches happiness is actually a choice. How does one choose happiness? Let go.  That's how you do it.  Let go of… Continue reading Letting Go

Wake up call

Okay.. Last week wasn't the best in eating.  It's not like I went crazy and ate a bag of M&M.  In fact, I didn't eat sugar.  I didn't drink soda.  I didn't eat a steak.  I just didn't eat the whole foods and veggies I normally do.  I didn't take the time for a veggie… Continue reading Wake up call

#bethelight – Day 129

Today's act of kindness is actually self care.  I have been burning the candle at both ends... more like exploding the candle.  My body is feeling it.  For the first time in over a year, I am feeling under the weather.  So today, I did something I never do.  I did not power through.  I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 129

#bethelight – Day 128

I held off on sharing my light expereince for yesterday until my duaghter made her own big announcement.  Yesterday my kindness act revolved around helping my sweet #1 child bring her #3 into the world.  It is a blessing to help a mom bring a new life into the world. She was so brave.  He… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 128

#bethelight – Day 127

I spent the whole day, from the wee hours of the morning to just now helping, comforting, and encouraging my daughter who is laboring with her third child.  I know process was made, even if she didn't end up going to the hospital.  Meanwhile, I kept the 3 year old busy, washed all of the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 127

Scripture Sunday

Look Beyond What You See

I have been living and breathing the story of Lion King over the past few months.  I had the honor of directing Lion King Jr at a local school.  I cherished the opportunity to bring to life one of my favorite stories... a story full of symbolism and meaning... a story that strengthens my faith.… Continue reading Look Beyond What You See

Family Friday

Starting a New Season

This week has been a week on the run!  John had work and he would come home to work on projects for me.  Lilli and I had the last 5 shows of The Lion King.  I was a sub for a couple of days.  I taught some voice lessons too.  John has been trying to… Continue reading Starting a New Season

#bethelight – Day 125 and 126

Okay... I missed blogging about kindness yesterday.  It was a long day.  We had two shows at Lion King, strike and a cast party.  I didn't get home until one in the morning.  Being busy is no excuse... so kindness continued.  Dispute several late nights and early morning, and what seemed like endless amounts of… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 125 and 126

#bethelight – Day 124

Today I was a sub.  Let me tell you... teachers do not get enough credit.  Teachers are not only responsible for the subjects they teach.  They are responsible for the well being of the students.  They are often called upon to be a nutritionist, a counselor, a booboo fixer, and mediator.  They often spend 1000… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 124

Carving out the Savannah – creating foam rocks

There are 3 more performances of Lion King Jr.  I love the work of art we have created.  It is truly beautiful... a visual feast! As the set designer, I needed to keep things simple.  With 63 cast members, I needed as much floor space as possible.  I also needed to create Pride Rock, an… Continue reading Carving out the Savannah – creating foam rocks
