Personal

Bethany loves beginning her mornings with a cup of coffee, a quiet moment of meditation, and a sense of gratitude for the day ahead. Time with family and friends fills her life with meaning, and she is happiest when traveling, watching feel-good movies, or listening to music that lifts her spirit. Life is about savoring the little moments—and sharing them with the people she loves most.
