Last Friday I posted the first several items in my alphabetical bucket list. Today, I’ll share the rest of the list with you.

Read MoreWhat’s on YOUR Bucket List? Here’s Mine (Part One)
I’ve been doing some dreaming about things I’d like to do some day — thinking about my Bucket List, if you will. Most people have encountered the term, which simply means a list of the things you’d like to do or accomplish at some point in your life. Full disclosure — I’ve never seen the…
Read MoreA Word With Beth — About Well-Meant Words
Instead of a grammar post today, this will be a bit of a rant, but hopefully a gentle, thoughtful rant. There’s a phrase that bothers me every time I hear it. I know what is meant by it, but still it bothers me. Very often, people who work for a cause with great dedication are…

On Tuesday of this week, I heard a fascinating interview on Minnesota Public Radio. In fact, it was so interesting that I have preempted my planned post for today in order to share it with you.
