I Choose Love – What About You?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 19 Comments/ 565

A repost because we all need to be reminded to choose love. I choose love over hate anytime. I choose positivity over negativity. I choose glass half full over glass half empty. I choose happiness over sadness. I choose embracing over holding at arm’s length. Continue reading →

Need a Hobby?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books, Writing/ 7 Comments/ 224

Yesterday I shared a bit about our weekend trip to our county library. It’s such a great place and even though I have a zillion and a half books at home to read I had to check some more out, of course. This one caught Continue reading →

Remember When?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 3 Comments/ 176

Chris and I went to our lovely Transylvania County Library over the weekend and as always I was thrilled to see all of the great books and offerings. But the displays are always spot on and this one caught my eye. What about yours? . Continue reading →

Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 23 Comments/ 3725

We found the perfect teapot in Travelers Rest, South Carolina years ago and Chris got it for me for our anniversary.  I think it speaks to the recent times around the world.  Sometimes all we need is a cup of tea to make us feel Continue reading →

Art and Hurricanes

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 191

Art and hurricanes don’t really sound like they would go together but in this case they do. Chris and I went to check out the exhibits at our local Transylvania County Arts Council this past weekend and were amazed, as usual, at some of the Continue reading →

For The Beauty of the Earth

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 232

Do you have a song headache already from that title? It only seemed appropriate as I looked out from what will be our new library space at Connestee Falls on Thursday evening. We had a little meeting to get our library angels (our name for Continue reading →

What’s On Your Menu?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Cooking/ 7 Comments/ 176

See that stack of cookbooks in the header? One of my favorite things to do is to try new recipes and this stack of Skinnytaste cookbooks is tagged with many, many flags of recipes to try. It’s always been fun for me to look at Continue reading →

Currently

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 205

What I am reading. Just started this one and it is one that I am having a difficult time putting down. Been on a bit of a reading jag lately during this cold snap and this one is pretty eye opening. What I am listening Continue reading →

Tea 101

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 19 Comments/ 588

From time to time I like to take a look at some of my tea books that I have on my bookshelf. I recently replaced them after I put the Christmas decorations away and it made me happy to see my little collection of tea Continue reading →

Stick With Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 153

. The above quote seems very appropriate for today when we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to our country and world. His fight for civil rights in the 1960’s was inspiring and quite honestly, past time. I don’t get political on the Continue reading →

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users
by Guy Kawasaki
As always Guy Kawasaki has a great book with great information about all things social media. I highlighted tons of places in this book and it is definitely one that I will come back to time and time again to help me in all of the socia...
Old Girls in Low Cotton

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...
The Good Girl
5 of 5 stars
The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...
All the Light We Cannot See
4 of 5 stars
All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
An Abundance of Katherines
5 of 5 stars
An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
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...
