I Choose Love – What About You?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 19 Comments/ 599

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 →

What’s Your Routine?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 12 Comments/ 535

My morning routine is pretty simple. Wake up, Go to the bathroom. (TMI?) Open bedroom doors (we have an odd two door system but it helps keep the cats out.) Give cats treats. Get coffee. Go back to bedroom. Turn a tiny stream of water Continue reading →

Forgiveness as a Personal Journey

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 6 Comments/ 512

Forgiveness. Sometimes forgiveness is difficult and when it comes to forgiving myself I find that I am horrible at it. Events that happen, things I have said, actions that I have done that have not been received well or have been inadequate haunt me.  I Continue reading →

Lessons Learned at the Beach

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Travel/ 6 Comments/ 835

I love the beach.  I love the smell.  I love the sounds.  I love to watch the birds and pick up shells.  We had a short time when we actually rented a house on the beach of the Coral Sea and it was wonderful.  I Continue reading →

A Simple Prayer

I started my recent Sunday worship off with tears. That just happens sometimes when I am moved and touched by something and this past Sunday was one of those times. Our church has a Special Friends class and these folks never cease to inspire me. Continue reading →

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
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
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...
