About Me
Kids: No kids
Relationship Status: Committed Relationship
Name: Mary Beth Thomsen
Occupation: Brand Manager in Pet Industry
Education: Bachelor's Degree - Communications
More about Me: Philanthropist. Pathological optimist. Fact finder. Faux athlete.
Favorite Music: Adele, Coldplay, Dave Matthews, MercyMe, Phil Collins, Sting, Francesca Battistelli
Favorite Books and Writers: Candace Bushnell (Sex & the City), Emily Giffin (all books), Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love), Jennifer Weiner (all books).
I can't live without: Chocolate. Coffee. Dogs. Laughter. Sunshine. Smiles. Books. Love.
I am most proud of: Graduating college in 4 years, followed by carving out a very enriching career path.
I am most guilty of: Taking on too much.
Words I live by: Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. Attitude rules.
The world would be a better place, if only: People treated others how they would like to be treated.
Interests: Writing is my passion; the process is as natural (and necessary) for me as breathing is to my lungs. When I'm not beating my keyboard with musings on love and life, I am probably volunteering. My purpose on earth, to the best of my knowledge, is to give back...so I do that through a variety of non-profit organizations by donating my time and talents. Currently, Special Olympics and Tiny Sparrow Foundation are the two organizations that I am most dedicated to moving their missions forward. Last but not least, my interests include spending time with the people I love, and strengthening the human-animal bond.
