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

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
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

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

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

#bethelight – Day 122
Today I decided to try my best to be a "contagious optimist." I am just noticing that it is so easy to judge other or to take for granted the people we love... or even the people we randomly meet. It is so easy to get caught up in my own busy-ness that I forget… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 122
Preparing for Extraordinary
Many of the people around me are suffering great disappointment over this past year. So many of the people I know and love feel alone in a sea of endless crashing waves. My heart aches for them. My heart especially aches for those I am closest to and love the most. Don't give up! You… Continue reading Preparing for Extraordinary

Today I stand. Today I stand with the sad and the lonely. Today I stand as a witness that their is hope. I don't pretend that I understand everything. I don't. What I do understand is that God knows me and loves me. I can choose to see Him in the crazy things around me… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 121
