What’s Your Routine?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 12 Comments/ 734

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/ 825

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/ 1201

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

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 26 Comments/ 740

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 →

Broken But Beautiful

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 12 Comments/ 1007

That featured picture is from our recent beach trip. Of course I had to pick up a few shells on this trip. I have container upon container of shells but I still have to get more at every beach we visit. It’s just what I Continue reading →

Feathers

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 18 Comments/ 772

One of my dear friends gave me a beautiful feather after my mom died. Feathers, especially a white feather, are signs that our loved ones are watching over us. When a feather is found, unexplainably, on the ground, it is supposed to be a reminder Continue reading →

Last week my Brevard Branch American Association of University Women met at the Mary C. Jenkins Community and Cultural Center. I have shared that we have a Little Free Library placed outside of the community center and it has become a special place to our Continue reading →

Reflections

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 18 Comments/ 816

It’s been an emotional week for me for some reason. I think the grief is slipping up on me and I am realizing that it happens when I am least expecting it. But then that is grief, isn’t it? This year alone I can name 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...
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
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...

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...
