Beth’s Blog

I've been blogging since 2012.

It’s no coincidence that’s less than a year after my second divorce, and what I thought was the end of my goal-oriented life. I write about unifying life experiences—often the stuff people think but don’t say out loud.

You will find posts on both overcoming traumatic events and achieving goals including the following topics:

- - divorce
  - having cancer (leukemia) and a Bone Marrow Transplant
  - mom/daughter dynamics
  - raising a teenager
  - single-parenting
  - dating as an almost 40-year-old (not) virgin
  - Christianity
  - becoming an avid marathoner
  - and empty-nesting.

Oh…and I write a lot about leadership, career development, corporate culture and USING YOUR VOICE in the workplace. #changeyourtone.

Living Authentically & Making Good Decisions

“Maybe he or she will love me more” more if I just do more. This formula never holds true. It becomes a transactional relationship when you think like this, a way to maintain a false semblance of control. Very often, this way of thinking begins in the church. If I just don’t sin (as much), then God will love me.

Forever Changed: Traversing Through Life Together

Recently I was asked to be a recurring freelance writer for a national magazine publication called TransplantNation. There was no way I was saying no to that. None. I am an ardent believer in using our past experiences, particularly the painful ones, to help others...
