"And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another." Mosiah 18:21 I've been thinking about and pondering this scripture for a couple of… Continue reading Contention – Nobody Got Time For That!

Today I've been thinking... there is something about a handwritten note that feels more meaningful than a text or an email. Seriously! In a day and age where convenience trumps sentiment, we long for that one little thing that is personal, that something you can hang one to forever. When was the last time you… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 95

Today I spread kindness by mentoring students in a common interest... tech theatre. I spent the day judging, commenting on, and teaching kids' entries for a Thespian competition. I believe it is a huge act of service to mentor and share skills and knowledge with the future generations. It was a great day! The future… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 94

I have always associated the month of February with love... I guess it's the whole Valentine's day thing. I read this quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today: "Love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world." I couldn't agree more! Today I chose to focus on loving... loving people...… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 93

Today I have been thinking about my friends. How lucky am I? I have great friends. I do have to say how much I miss one friend in particular. My friend Jo is more like a sister. She knows my faults and loves me anyway. No matter the distance that separates us, our differences in… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 92

As usual, today is a nuts! It's finals at school. Kids need help right and left. There is rehearsal and lessons. Seriously! I don't have time to do something "special" when it comes to kindness. I can go out of my way to be kind. I can be intentional with my words and deeds. I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 91

Today my act of kindness was to help my friend grade... I read and read and read today. The goal is to make grade day at the end of the week go smoother. It isn't much, but I hope it helps.
#bethelight – Day 89
Today was not my usual Sunday. Today I worked. An organization REALLY wanted their event on a Sunday. Today, as my act of kindness, I gave up my usual Sunday activities in order to allow their event to happen on my stage. I know many would not agree with my choice. Please know, I did… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 89
#bethelight – Day 88
Today I worked hard. I have decided that doing your best and working hard at your job is actually an act of kindness. So often complacency supplants hard work. All too often, entitlement creeps in and the feeling that we "deserve" something eclipses the efforts necessary to earn our real goals. Perhaps it's because we… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 88
#bethelight – Day 86
Today for my act of kindness I went to Kimber's house and washed her dishes after I had a full day of school, an orthodontic appointment for Lilli, rehearsal, and a small little job of getting some lights for an assembly tomorrow. I'm ready for bed.
