3 Things To Stop Apologizing For

We live in a culture that apologizes way too often for things we shouldn't. Take accidentally bumping into someone on the street. "I'm sorry" is our natural response. But what are WE sorry for? Existing? WE're sorry when something out of our control happens to someone. WE're sorry for succeeding over someone else. There is a place and time for an actual apology but let's stop being sorry for things we shouldn't be. Maybe you aren't even saying "I'm sorry" but your actions ar

Aunt Becky Just Got Served (& What We Should Learn)

In a day and age of opportunity, both good and bad, we are constantly making choices. Some of those may be driven but what we'd deem "good intention", the lack of moral principles and integrity in which some decisions are made can still come bite us in the butt, or in this case steam roll us over.....twice! Admittedly, the fact that Facebook broke down shortly after this story broken probably delayed its immediate mass spread but by now I'm sure every Full House family, Hallm

The Confidence Edge When You're The Only Woman

I think it can be very intimidating to be in a room much less work with all males. For years, wars were waged over equality. I love that we have come so far in fighting for equal rights. But equal rights doesn't always equate to equality in all areas of the workplace. It's International Women's Day today. A day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Check out their Facebook Page. A wise woman said YEARS ago something that rings so tru

💖Love Your Dang Self First

It's Valentine's Day and it's all Be Mine, Hug Me, I'm Yours, but what it should be a reminder of is that love needs to begin with ourselves. instead of "Be Mine", just "Be Fine" and love who you are. We are our own biggest critic. We certainly don't hold anyone else to the standard we hold ourselves. I know as a mom its easy to give without any reward but we often don't stop to show ourselves any love, pat ourselves on the back for a job well done or just feel good about our

My Kids Created My Success

While everyone was planning their happily ever after and white picket fences, I was planning how I would conquer the corporate world. My focus was on business. Maybe I was just more confident in that than I ever felt I could be as a mom. But just as I was ramping up "my life" as I planned it, it all changed. Not just for the first time. With a "probably won't get pregnant" combo of a Thyroid Disease and PCOS I wasn't overly concerned about contraceptive but actively took a bo

5 NON-Resolutions TO Take On In 2019

We all have good intentions when we set out to make New Year's Resolutions but here is why I don't. The fact of the matter is numbers don't lie. Statistics say that approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February, so the odds are against you. No offense. We make them broadly, with no support and usually with a lack of preparation. You can still take 2019 by the horns. Here are 5 NON-Resolutions to try instead. 1) Plan In Smaller Doses When you are trying

I Pulled A Clark Griswold...sort of

We have ALL had the low moments. The ones that make you want to lose your marbles! When you just think you couldn't take anymore, life throws you another dagger and all that you've held together falls apart. You know the scene right?........ After a little stress.....ok a few months of things that I'll choose to bypass for the sake of time but it felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders. But then came Thanksgiving and I had so much to be thankful for. Things were get

When Demand Exceeds Resources (and how to fix it)

Today is National Stress Awareness Day and one common cause of stress is simply having too much on your plate. Hi, I'm Beth, and I'm an over-committer. I've reach a point where the demand in my life for all the things I've committed to exceeds my resources. My time, money, sanity, patience or ability to truly juggle it all. How many of us suffer from over-committal suicide? We become the "yes man" and all of the sudden there are more colors on our calendar than a crayola box.

#Throwback, Throw out to THRIVE!

I got a notice from Facebook today stating it was our "Facebookaversary". We had been in a relationship now for 12 years. One of my longest relationships to date outside of family. A little sad. But as I scrolled through my feed, I was able to walk back through the last 10 years and to my surprise, it was a good reminder of all I've been through. My life hasn't been terrible by any means but it certainly wasn't easy street. We quickly forget our successes and dwell constantly

5 Lessons I learned from Elle Woods

Yes, it’s been 15 years since this classic (in my opinion) debuted IT'S SEQUEL but after watching the original again, I realized there were a lot of great lessons that were presented in this movie. An “unlikely to succeed past Beverly Hills life blonde” becomes a highly regarded and intuitive lawyer from Harvard. But her journey shows that being authentically and fearlessly you is not only achievable and desirable but leads you along the path you are meant to be on to achieve

The Day I Realized My Actions Will Be His Memories

As a parent, I'm sure you've heard "the days are long but the years are short. " I'm pretty sure they were referring to life with toddlers. These tiny little humans are working every minute of every day to figure things out. If you've ever stopped to listen to them, you might be amazed at their logic. I have to remind myself sometimes, actually a lot, that they are figuring out boundaries, reactions and all the "what ifs" of the world they live in. The other day my 3 year old

10 reasons the mom bun should be respected (not judged)

The woman with the "mom bun". We all know her. She's hard working. She's always running. She doesn't get enough sleep. She's me. She's you. She's his wife, or your sister or your best friend. There is so much beyond the "mom bun" that we just don't see or understand. But that mom bun is saying a lot! 1. Others got prioritized above her hair. When the alarm goes off in the morning, we have every intention of getting everyone ready and everything done, but the reality is, there

National Drink Wine Day | The Secrets to Health & Savings

February 18th is nationally recognized Drink Wine Day.Yup, it's an actual thing. I really think it was made for me. While many things you read say alcohol is against all things healthy, I have been convinced otherwise. Now let me be clear, the sugar in wine isn't exactly healthy and alcohol itself can be dehydrating, but the positive effects of wine reside in low quantities. Now I know you try to make healthy food choices and go to the gym, I"m there with you. Unless you’ve b

If I can help one person see themselves for what they are, and can become everything they were meant to be, my mission is complete.
