No Place To Turn?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 13 Comments/ 8077

I just read the most heartbreaking story.  I can not get it off of my mind.  The short version is that a couple lost hope.  No one reached out to them when they needed it most.  They were not able to access the help that Continue reading →

When Ann and I decided to go to Asheville for our BFF vacation I was in charge of finding our lodging.  Chris and I have usually had pretty good luck finding places to rent on VRBO, HomeAway and Airbnb.  Oh there was that one episode Continue reading →

Moving On

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 37 Comments/ 4539

Recently I had someone say to me that they did not understand how I could move as much as I have moved in my life and it made me think about how my “normal” is not anyone else’s normal.  I never thought much about it Continue reading →

What do you do when you are upset?   When something unexplainable happens and your world is rocked to the very core? I write.  I sit down and write it all out. I write and revise. I rewrite. I let my words flow and I Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...
