Warrior Wednesday

Warriors See the New Day

Today I was impressed by this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. Warriors remember that every day is a new start.  Every day brings a new opportunity to improve, to ease the burdens of others and to stand tall in the face of chaos.

Thought Tuesday

Improving Life

It is amazing that the Fresh Prince of Belair can be so wise.  Everyday I am learning that this statement is true.  My life is better each time I attempt to lift another.

Wrapping up September with Plant Power

People still look at me funny when I say I choose not to eat meat.; that I do eat an occasional egg and have even had a little yogurt or cheese here and there.  However, as a whole, I just stay away from animal products... and I feel better.  My skin, hair and nails look… Continue reading Wrapping up September with Plant Power

The past few days I have worked at being nice.  The trouble is, nothing I've done is really notable.  I serve people at the school.  I serve people in my family.  I serve people at church.  Yet... I've gotten into a routine and have not succeeded in breaking free of my regular day stuff.  I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 320, 321, 322, and 324
