Betrayal

This morning my heart hurts. Last week, a community volunteer called to say that $32 was stolen from her purse while she was helping with rehearsal on Friday. No one step forward to give the money back. This morning, I went to put some cash in my bag. I have a special pouch that I… Continue reading Betrayal

Satisfaction Saturday

Satisfied with Network Spinal Analysis

Several years ago I had my first experience with Network Spinal Analysis Care.  I was in great pain and could not move my head and neck.  Nothing I tried worked.  We did not have insurance that would help pay for chiropractic care, but I was desperate!  It was a holiday weekend.  Most people were available… Continue reading Satisfied with Network Spinal Analysis

Family Friday

Another in the Books

Lilli was sick for most of the week.  Thus, very little happened for her that didn't include her bed.  She tried school on Wednesday.  However, she went home at lunch time because she was still not doing well.  You can tell from the picture I snapped, just before lunch, that she was not "feelin' it"… Continue reading Another in the Books

#bethelight – Day 189

Today my act of kindness was to spend some quality time with my youngest daughter.  We walked to a local restaurant and had dinner.  Then we walked over to the college and watched the college dance concert.  Dance is her passion.  We had a great time.  We walked home afterward and enjoyed the smell of… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 189

#bethelight – Day 187

Today I started feeling a little worried about an upcoming production.  The students were having such a hard time catching on.  Then, in the middle of the night, I realized the problem... Spanglish.  These student speak a language different than English and different than Spanish.  They Speak a mix of the two.  The script, written… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 187

#bethelight – Day 186

This thought came to me today... ask more people how they are doing and start a conversation.  Today I realized that sometimes people want to talk more then they let on. Asking how they are and really listening shows them just how much you care.  Besides, someday, someone will listen to what I might have… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 186

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior Embraces Change

This is a concept I am slowly learning. Change is good. Remember that. Resistance is futile. Remember that. "Of course there is no formula for success except, perhaps, an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings." Arthur Rubinstein I realize that life is unpredictable. However, there are days where I am not okay with… Continue reading A Warrior Embraces Change

Adulting 101 – Time Management

We are approaching the end of the semester and kids are "suddenly" concerned with how their grades are doing. This is a serious issue. When a teacher plans for information to be learned throughout a semester, there is no possible way it could be learned in a couple of weeks. Mastery of the subject is… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Time Management
