#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

Warrior Wednesday

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

#bethelight – Day 92

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.  She knows my faults and loves me anyway.  No matter the distance that separates us, our differences in… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 92

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

My life has been nuts!  I have not been able to blog.  however, I have kept the food under control and I have not fallen off the wagon... just so you all know.  No junk food... but not enough water.  I'm telling you, this life style is hard to keep up when you aren't home… Continue reading I am Still Alive

#bethelight – Day 90

Today my act of kindness was to help my friend grade... I read and read and read today.  The goal is to make grade day at the end of the week go smoother.  It isn't much, but I hope it helps.

#bethelight – Day 89

Today was not my usual Sunday.  Today I worked.  An organization REALLY wanted their event on a Sunday.  Today, as my act of kindness, I gave up my usual Sunday activities in order to allow their event to happen on my stage.  I know many would not agree with my choice.  Please know, I did… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 89

#bethelight – Day 88

Today I worked hard.  I have decided that doing your best and working hard at your job is actually an act of kindness.  So often complacency supplants hard work.  All too often, entitlement creeps in and the feeling that we "deserve" something eclipses the efforts necessary to earn our real goals.  Perhaps it's because we… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 88
