#bethelight – Day 172

Today I hired a local teen to help me in my yard.  I don't have a ton of money, but I can get some money together to help a hard working young man earn a little money for his mission.  It is seriously difficult for teens to get jobs these days.  Laws designed to "protect"… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 172

Since yesterday was earth day, I decided to spread light today by working in my garden.  Flowers bring a smile to my face.  They have to bring a smile to the faces of others as they pass my house. 🙂  So I spent a little time cleaning up the yard.  It's a breathe of fresh… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 169

Support local theater!  Today I am going to see a little production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang produced by AIM at the local Baptist church.  We all need each other in this theater business.  Heck!  We need each other period!  Supporting and cheering on others in their activities help us to grow and to become… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 166

Today I am hosting an Usborne book party.  My daughter is an Usborne book consultant, so hosting a party helps her out.  I also decided to "pay-it-forward" and to host the party to benefit someone else.  First, I love to read.  I learned to read late.  I struggled learning to read.  At third grade I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 165

#bethelight – Day 164

I feel like I see so much judgement in the world today... Lots and lots of pointing fingers.  Today I have a simple suggestion for an act of kindness: Be empathetic – Really try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.  Try your best to understand their experiences, challenges and thought process. "If you can learn a… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 164
