About Beth

 In sitting down to tell people "About me" ... it sent me reeling.

Who AM I?

No, I'm not having a mid-life crisis.
No, I don't have amnesia.
No, not multiple personality disorder either.

So why the quandry? I wear so many hats that I'm not sure which one is "me"? So here are some of my roles so you can learn a bit more "About Me".
