Focus Word for the Year

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 121

Historically I choose three words to guide me throughout the year. Last year I don’t think I even chose one word — the past couple years I have been a little off in that department. But that is okay and I am allowing myself some Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 193

I have been feeling a bit nostalgic these days. I think it is the holidays that makes me think back to my own childhood. I had a really good childhood.  I know not everyone can say that and I am happy that I am one Continue reading →
