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.

#RealPeopleProblems
Just like I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook, I also have one with the daily news. We’ve all heard the collective woes: reporters suck and the news is a downer. No one disavows that age-old statement, but wowzers did Ivana disavow her old rape statement against The Donald. Feeling the puke well up inside my stomach and northbound […]
SUM-HER
You know those parents who are easy targets for a judgy eye roll because they live vicariously though their kids? The ones who hit the 3 at the buzzer to clinch the league title, nail the landing off the beam, or god forbid even bend forward in all their thirty-two glimmering teeth smiles as the crown is placed […]
Code For
I love when I receive notifications that comments have been left on this blog. They come right to my Gmail and always make me laugh. The one I received yesterday (thank you, Anonymous!) in particular made me out loud crack up. I will paraphrase in both the interest of time and cognizance of not wanting to […]
Living
“Wherever you are, be there. If you can be fully present now, you will know what it means to live.”–Steve Goodier“Where art thou?” That’s the question I received via a comment on my last blog post. Which, in and of itself was a fair question to ask; even better, it was only a loosely-veiled pretend […]
A New Day
What? What is this? She’s writing? Ok, people. I know. You know I know. I love and appreciate all of you who have ever so nicely and gently reminded me that it’s been months since I’ve touched this blog, pounded a keyboard with fervor, or divulged even one measly iota about the happenings in my life. It’s […]
My Little Birdie
Secretly, I simultaneously love and hate clichés. Love them, because they are typically true and the second they come to fruition, it is a tear-jerking, joyous moment. Hate them, because they are typically true and the second they come to fruition, it is a tear-jerking, joyous moment. It goes by so fast. Your kid growing up, that […]
Snapshots in Time
Liv and I had lunch yesterday with one of my good friends and her daughter. To say it was a ceaseless chatter-fest would be an understatement. Somehow the endless laughter seems to be always at my expense, but that’s ok. To refute her “There’s always something big going on with you!” would be silly and furthermore, the woman […]
The Plans He Knows
“What the?!,” I said out loud yesterday while opening the mail. Any time the return address says IRS Department of Treasury, you know you’re in trouble for something you don’t remember doing. While I’m totally familiar with that, all I could think was, Uh-oh. I didn’t plan for this. And so it goes. Life doesn’t always go as planned. Really, […]
It’s Not Even The Hair. Promise.
“At the risk of appearing predictable, the Bible was and remains the biggest influence on my thinking.” -Hillary ClintonThank you, Hill. Thank you for setting yourself up in such a way so as to make someone who is in just the right mood take a time out and address this. Just for a second. Really. […]
