Just Another Day in Parad-ice

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 5 Comments/ 274

The storm moved in. So far, we have survived really well. After Helene we refined our preparedness to the point where we have a pretty good system of having flashlights, flameless candles, emergency radios, etc. all in one place. We have cast iron and a Continue reading →

The Missing Book

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 278

On the morning the book went missing, Eleanor noticed the teapot was warm even though she hadn’t touched it. This was unusual for two reasons. First, Eleanor was meticulous about her routines. Second, the teapot had been sitting on the high shelf ever since the Continue reading →

Wouldn’t It Be Wonderful?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 241

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could get along ? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone had a warm, dry, safe place to live? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were no hungry bellies? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone who needed medical help or Continue reading →

When You Find Out You Are A Liar

Beth Ann Chiles/ Humor, Writing/ 11 Comments/ 309

Honesty is important to me. I value honesty in myself and in relationships with others. It is a cornerstone that is very essential and I hold it to a high level. When I find out someone has lied to me it really wounds me. It Continue reading →

Focus Word for the Year

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 303
