These Things Are Truths

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 5393

Full Disclosure:  A rerun but one worth repeating. 1. Everyone has a story. There is no doubt about it in my mind. You may not “think” that you have a story, but daggum it, you do. You may think that you have a boring and Continue reading →

The Longest #FarewellTour2015 Ever

Beth Ann Chiles/ Photography, Thoughts, Travel/ 16 Comments/ 3291

What Will I Leave Behind?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 34 Comments/ 3825

It’s a good question, isn’t it?  What will I leave behind?  I think about this more often than I would like to admit and I suspect it has something to do with being 55.  The other day when I was shopping I was asked if Continue reading →

Memories

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books, Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 17 Comments/ 5068

Moving always brings adventure.  Our much anticipated move is creeping closer and closer with each day and in 2 short weeks we will be in the throes of packing and loading and cleaning.  It’s a good thing.  In fact I think it is a very Continue reading →

Middle Age – Good or Bad?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 29 Comments/ 4376

I happened upon an article in the New York Times a while back during my leisurely stroll through the internet. The article written by Patricia Cohen entitled Get a Midlife, made me stop and think about how “I” view midlife now that I am in Continue reading →

“Are You Spoiled?”

Beth Ann Chiles/ Spiritual, Thoughts, Writing/ 33 Comments/ 5329

“Are you spoiled?” she asked.  The context was the fact that I got to board the airplane before she did—I had “Sky” on my ticket and she had Zone 3.  I laughed it off and denied it but it has stuck with me for months. Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
