Midwesterner at Heart

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 226

Some things will never change. One of the things that will never ever change about me is having a lot of qualities and traits of being from the midwest. First and foremost, midwesterners are known for their hospitality. They are often known for being just Continue reading →

I’m So Vain

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 31 Comments/ 783

I never thought I was vain.  I really didn’t.  But I am sad to report that I am among the worst offenders when it comes to being overly concerned about my appearance.   It is weird.   I have tried to find the perfect haircut Continue reading →

When A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 5 Comments/ 297

You know you are out of things to write about when you share that today, May 12, is National Limerick Day. I am not a good limerick writer — I am more into haikus but decided that today we should celebrate the lovely limerick. Each Continue reading →

An Abundance of Katherines

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...
