About Us

Our services help clients manage all areas of their lives. The realities of work and home life often do not leave time left over for leisure, relaxation, or fun. This highly personalized service provides today's busy people not only with another way to complete mundane tasks such as shopping, running errands, or waiting for the cable guy, but a way to reclaim their time. Time is a precious commodity…something no one ever has enough of. Our clients determine what is most important in their lives and focus their time and attention on just that, and very simply delegate the rest to A Single Ray of Hope.

Meet Mary Beth

Hey there! My name is Mary Beth Lyons and I’m the proud owner of A Single Ray of Hope. I have over 20 years of experience in business management, customer service, event planning, and managing projects.

I created a Single Ray of Hope in 2006 because, at one point in my life, I felt there was never enough time in the day to accomplish everything on my plate. I knew I wasn’t alone in feeling this way. After researching the industry, I realized that most individuals in Southwest Michigan could benefit from having more time to do what really matters instead of checking items off their to-do list.

I have a passion for helping others lead more manageable, fulfilling lives. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am an avid scrap-booker, card-maker, and walk-taker, and believe in advocating for persons with special needs.  I believe it’s the little things in life that are important and if I can make a positive impact in the lives of other people....then it has been a great day!
