It's been 17 weeks since our missionary took off on her adventure. Sure miss her. She is having a good experience serving in Missouri. She is experiencing world class thunder and lightening storms, interesting wildlife, like this turtle they found in the road. The mission leader of the ward she is serving in sent me… Continue reading 17 weeks and Counting

#bethelight – Day 204
Today I was blessed by kindness from my daughter. We were walking home from church when I tripped. I went down hard and slid down the gravel street edge on my face. My 15 year old ran to my rescue. She helped me the rest of the way home, helped me clean the gavel out… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 204
I have two thoughts: I wish my students didn't work so hard at covering and hiding their flaws and insecurities. I wish they understood that being vulnerable is what helps them to learn and to grow and to be better. Next thought: This is how you achieve real greatness.
#bethelight – Day 203
I tell my students that "can't" is against my religion. It isn't really against my religion. However, I do feel that "can't" should be removed from everyone's vocabulary. Seriously. What is really holding you back? Fear? Reluctance? Pride? Stop talking yourself out of taking risks. Life will open up! Do something nice for someone without… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 203
#bethelight – Day 201-202
I missed yesterday because I was so busy. I think my act of kindness was to simply do my job. Today I painted faces at a yearbook party at school and I played with my grand-kids so that their parents could go to the movies. On top of that, I am hosting a scary movie… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 201-202
#bethelight – Day 200
Today I was really looking for that surprise act of kindness I could perform. The thing is, when your days are rather routine with work and stuff, it is often hard to find the opportunities to do meaningful acts of kindness. Then, at the end of the day, I remembered that my co-worker/friend had put… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 200
Warriors See Roses
Years ago I learned an important lesson... Be glad the thorn bush has roses. A Warrior sees the roses. In the past, I have been known to see the negative in things... maybe even everything. I don't remember when, exactly, but one day I woke up and realized that the only thing I could change… Continue reading Warriors See Roses
Adulting 101: Crisis
I hear a lot of whining these days. It seems that many young people believe others are out to get them... Or, they believe life isn't fair. Dude! The fair is in August. I don't get it. I keep hearing the same childish behaviors from little people, teens and even young adults; behavior such as… Continue reading Adulting 101: Crisis
#bethelight – Day 199
Today I was nearly overwhelmed with the need of light and kindness in the world. Seriously! There are so many unhappy people in the world. I am learning for myself that little acts of kindness go a long way. However, the person that is impacted the most by random acts of kindness is me! If… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 199
Week 4 of Intermittent Fasting and 60 Week’s as a Nutritiarian
Is this a habit yet. Actually... no. Everyday I make a choice. Some days the choices aren't as good as other days. There are those busy days where a lack of planning bites you, or those days you attend a party and the best you can do is to eat a piece of cheese pizza… Continue reading Week 4 of Intermittent Fasting and 60 Week’s as a Nutritiarian
