Permission

You've got it, if you need it.  

Permission to do the comfortable thing.  

Permission to try the things that scare you most. 

Permission to stay quiet in a crowded room.  

Permission to speak up.  

Permission to stop working at the end of the day and leave much undone.  

Permission to take a day off.  

Permission to follow your inspiration late into the night, until the sky is ink and the house is sleeping around you.  

Permission to worry, and permission to ask God to take it all away.  

If you need it, you've got it. You're allowed.  

 

Thanks for reading.

Hello! My name is Beth and I'm a full-time high school English teacher living in beautiful western Montana. I'm also a writer. Before turning to teaching, I earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Montana. A few years of adjuncting at small two-year colleges helped me realize how much I love teaching, so I returned to school for a Masters of Education. There, I was lucky enough to meet my wonderful husband. Together, we head off to our classrooms (at the same school, which is pretty great) each morning. Our town is a small one, but also an incredibly beautiful one. I've lived in Montana all my life and feel lucky to know exactly where I want to live. While starting my teaching career, I also published my first novel, The Actor, with Riverbend Publishing (a Montana publisher). When I make time, I'm working on a few other new novels and creating content here!

Thanks for visiting this space; I hope that some of what I offer will provide insight, beauty, and inspiration to your life.
