A Great Irony of Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 5 Comments/ 607

Good Advice for Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 10 Comments/ 413

 I found the following piece on Pinterest. I loved it. It pretty much says what I think is good advice. There was no author listed but it says what I believe to be true.  I especially like the part that speaks to spending time with Continue reading →

Grow In the Light

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 9 Comments/ 399

I shared this image yesterday in my blog post about Biltmore Blooms and it has stuck in my mind for some reason. Sometimes images do that. As I walked out to our dock earlier today I spied a dandelion in our yard. There was a Continue reading →

The road that stretches before the feet of a man is a challenge to his heart long before it tests the strength of his legs. Our destiny is to run to the edge of the world and beyond, off into the darkness, sure for all Continue reading →

Solid Ground

24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because Continue reading →

It’s All About Perspective

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration, Life stories/ 13 Comments/ 532

“Are you spoiled?” she asked.  The context was the fact that I got to board the airplane before she did—I had “Sky” on my ticket and she had Zone 3.  I laughed it off and denied it but it has stuck with me for a Continue reading →

Small Gestures – Big Impact

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 4 Comments/ 613

If you hadn’t already guessed I am a huge fan of doing things for others. It is part of my DNA thanks to my parents. Not everyone has this in their makeup but I am ever so grateful that it is one of my gifts. Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 6 Comments/ 370

Inspiration can be found in some of the most unexpected places. On a recent hike on the Perry N. Rudnick Nature and Public Art Trail in Hendersonville, North Carolina, I discovered a carefully sheltered spot of inspiration. Tucked away from the elements, posted on the Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration, Writing/ 21 Comments/ 495
