#bethelight – Day 76

I learned so many things from just listening yesterday. Today I need to go to Salem today.  That means I need to drive in traffic.  Thus, today I am going to slow down and let other merge today.  I'm going to allow others to go ahead of me.  Today I'm going to allow pedestrians to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 76

#bethelight – Day 75

Today I decided to spread light by listening.  So many people need listening ear. Listening can change lives.  People don't always need advice.  Sometimes they just need a listening ear and positive reinforcement.

The Bully Plays are going well!  I am so proud of the students I work with on a daily basis.  They are truly making a difference in spreading kindness in the world. Tonight is the last full night of the sow.  We will get to perform a couple of times next week during our class… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 74

#bethelight – Day 73

Today I am taking stock of my daily activity.  Am I giving to others?  Do I have balance in my life?  Am I charity minded? I'm working on it. I am finding that contributing to a cause keeps me in the loop of social issues.  Right now my focus is education and arts in education. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 73

#bethelight – Day 72

The Bully Plays had a great opening night.  Our audience was bigger than I expected.  They seemed to truly appreciate the plays and the work the kids put into work.  I believe we were successful in our efforts to spread the message that bullying is not okay and that kindness is where it's at. I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 72

#bethelight – Day 66

This smiling girl was the recipient of yesterday's act of kindness... look at that smile!  And this was before I left a tip.  LOL. It was fun to see her face light up when I left the tip and drove away.  It was so worth it! Today I've been thinking about the things that inspire… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 66

#bethelight – Day 64

I enjoyed my face-to face interactions yesterday.  It is so much easier to truly communicate! When I was a kid I loved to sneak my parents' copy of Reader's Digest (it's a magazine that came in the mail - a definition for all those too young to remember magazines and even "mail") so that I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 64

#bethelight – Day 63

Yesterday I did my best to serve, to hug the sad, and to lift the burdens of others.  By the end of the day I was pretty tired. Today I continue. I heard about a "Just Say Hello" campaign that Oprah championed a few years back.  The idea was to use Skype to reach out… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 63

#bethelight – Day 62

When I started #bethelight 62 days ago I felt good.  I felt like I was making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.  Working on #bethelight made my holiday season memorable! Recently, I read an old Chinese proverb. "If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap.  If… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 62

Today I will #bethelight through reflection and sincere gratitude for… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 61
