An Attitude of Gratitude Experiment 2.0 Day 19
Today has been a good day. Today I am thankful that I got to start my day with a few minutes in my scriptures. I am going slowly through Moroni 7. So many deep gems in these verses!

I Will Not Forget
September 11, 2001 was a very bad day. So many lives lost. Civilian and heroes. September 11, 2001 is a day I also remember as a day of unparalleled courage and love. Hero first responders courageously went up the stairs to help others flee from danger while thousands fled for their lives. These heroes knew… Continue reading I Will Not Forget
Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief
As we were leaving a Walmart parking lot yesterday, I rolled down my car window and gave a dollar to a homeless man on the corner. He grabbed my hand and genuinely thanked me for the dollar, but asked if I had anything for a headache. It was so hot outside. No wonder he had… Continue reading Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief

I am just looking to make someone else's life a little better. Like yesterday... leaving the comfort of my home and the mindless activity of watching the Olympics… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 103

I wasn't sure where to take the case of water we bought, so today we are getting the family together to put together little bags with a couple… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 33
#bethelight – Day 32
Sadly, I did not have time to stop at the "giving tree" yesterday. I will need to do that today. I was, however, kind to everyone I was in contact with yesterday and I made a kid's day yesterday, that that should count for something. Today, I will work on #LIGHTtheWOLRD again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=HCPgJsI4vrU Jesus taught: … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 32
#bethelight – Day 31
Yesterday I focused on the positive and brought others along for the ride. I am so proud of the kids that came to callbacks for our next production. They all put their best foot forward and made choosing SO hard. I may never be able to sleep! Seriously. There are SO many possibilities. What I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 31
