Today I've been thinking... there is something about a handwritten note that feels more meaningful than a text or an email. Seriously! In a day and age where convenience trumps sentiment, we long for that one little thing that is personal, that something you can hang one to forever. When was the last time you… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 95

Week 1 of Our Missionary’s Service Down
What a week! Here is what you missed. I missed Lilli going to SnoBall... I was working. She went with her friend Zoe… A girl in her choir came over with her sister to help Lilli get ready.

#bethelight – Day 94
Today I spread kindness by mentoring students in a common interest... tech theatre. I spent the day judging, commenting on, and teaching kids' entries for a Thespian competition. I believe it is a huge act of service to mentor and share skills and knowledge with the future generations. It was a great day! The future… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 94
Delighted with Rainbow Dance Theatre
This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending some time the folks of Rainbow Dance Theater. They, and the Salem Concert Band, were renters for the theater at the high school. The band played the music and the dance company presented the ballet. The music and the ballet were inspired by the 1504 paintings… Continue reading Delighted with Rainbow Dance Theatre
#bethelight – Day 93
I have always associated the month of February with love... I guess it's the whole Valentine's day thing. I read this quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today: "Love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world." I couldn't agree more! Today I chose to focus on loving... loving people...… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 93
A Warrior Chooses the Harder Right
There are days that are best described on the pages of Harry Potter. Ever since the books were released, I have been inspired by their pages. Some how, Dumbledore has wise words for every situation. Take these quotes, for example: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our… Continue reading A Warrior Chooses the Harder Right

Today I have been thinking about my friends. How lucky am I? I have great friends. I do have to say how much I miss one friend in particular. My friend Jo is more like a sister.

Adulting 101 – Real Adults Take Responsibility for Themselves
Okay... I am back on the soap box today for Thought Tuesday. It's been a few months in development. As I volunteer in the high school I am noticing an alarming trend within the adults-in-training that I serve. This trend is often diagnosed as laziness. However, I believe it is a lack of training... and… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Real Adults Take Responsibility for Themselves
#bethelight – Day 91
As usual, today is a nuts! It's finals at school. Kids need help right and left. There is rehearsal and lessons. Seriously! I don't have time to do something "special" when it comes to kindness. I can go out of my way to be kind. I can be intentional with my words and deeds. I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 91
