Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 300

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 16 Comments/ 764

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 →

Keep Calm and Press On

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 32 Comments/ 747

There are days aren’t there? Days when the overwhelmingness of life weighs heavy and the stress knot in the back of the neck grows from the size of a penny to the size of a grapefruit. Days when it is very difficult to see beyond Continue reading →

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users
