Hey, I'm Beth.

I’m a philosopher-in-training, a word nerd, a poet and an occasional geek.
I’m a universe of contradictions, a free thinker and a perpetual student. 
This is the place my poetry lives and where I share my many and varied musing’s about life.

Welcome.

What is a philosopher-in-training anyway?

Well hey! Thanks for being here.

You’re probably wondering what the hell a philosopher-in-training is. I’ll be honest, I made it up. But it felt right. I research, read, talk to people much smarter than me to test and tease ideas out into articles and poems worth sharing. I do this because I love thinking deeply about the things that pervade the human condition.

I find people endlessly fascinating, and infuriating – equally as amazing as we are dumb as shit.

Join me on my philosophical ruminations about life and humanity.

I write one long article a month and I share it around in a (probably profanity laden) email. Depending on what else I might have been thinking about, I may also set a poem free, review a product I’m using, a book I’m reading, or share a quote I’m loving… to be perfectly honest, what’s in there each month will be as much a surprise for me as it is you.

So if you want to join the fun, join my mailing family – I don’t want anything other than your email address and I’ll keep it incredibly safe, scouts honour.

About life, love, growing up, moving on, motherhood and much more.
