Family

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 24 Comments/ 556

Family is important. Being the youngest of 4 siblings I realize just how important it is to have good strong relationships with siblings. One gift our parents gave us was the gift of strong family ties. It’s been a little odd the past month. For Continue reading →

Measure Twice. Cut Once.

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 32 Comments/ 628

I have never been very good at taking criticism.  If my mom was still alive you could ask her and she would agree. I was always a weird sensitive child.  I have mentioned before that on a scale of 1 to 10 my self esteem as a child Continue reading →

Hats and More Hats

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 14 Comments/ 507

Work  and jobs.  Roles. They change. Time brings different opportunities. Opportunities bring change. Change  = growth. Or so I have learned over the years. When I was younger I never gave a whole lot of thought about what I would do someday.  Maybe I was Continue reading →
