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

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

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

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

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

You never expect to have to leave your home. Especially not during the holiday season. Thankfully we were blessed with accommodations at a hotel until we figure things out but still working and trying to live a normal life, I needed a few essentials to help me get through day to day. Here are my top 5 survival items for this season of my life. 1. Workout shoes You can workout anywhere but good shoes make for the best workouts. These aren't my favorite shoes but all I could gr

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

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.

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
