Welcome! I’m Beth.

I'm a wife, a mom, a former English teacher and librarian, and a writer. The Friday Joy Blog is dedicated to all things that bring me joy--big or small: Poetry, prose, books, favorite products, "Deep Thoughts," writing prompts, new goals and habits! Basically, this is a blog about the things I’m thinking about. I hope you’ll find something here to inspire or encourage you. I love connecting with readers! You can reach me by leaving a comment on one of the blog posts, or by e-mailing me at fridayjoyblog@gmail.com.

Thank you so much for reading!
