Beth Ann Chiles/ Charity, Thoughts, Writing/ 15 Comments/ 3088

I posted on Facebook this morning that I simply needed to: Breathe. Drink Coffee. Start. You see I am coming down off of a high.  You know what I am talking about.  One of those mountain top experiences that changes you.  That was what I Continue reading →

The Perfect Volunteer Job

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books, Life stories, Thoughts/ 33 Comments/ 4629

I may have found the perfect volunteer job.  Seriously.  If I counted up all the organizations and volunteer positions I have had over the years I would probably be surprised.  From Navy Relief  Society to PTO to Habitat for Humanity to Meals on Wheels the Continue reading →

Feeling Unconnected

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 11 Comments/ 2806

I was unconnected for over an hour today and it felt like an eternity.   When I say I was unconnected what I really mean is that my internet was not working. Horror of horrors. I know that it really is not the end of Continue reading →

George and Gertie

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, Thoughts, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 3345

George and Gertie the Canada Geese have adopted our yard as their home base.  I suspect it is for a couple of reasons. Spring is here in North Carolina and time for baby geese.  Our house is located across from a tiny island on the Continue reading →

One Year Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Friends, Thoughts, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 4303

One year later I still have a hole in my heart. One year later I find myself thinking about texting you. One year later I check Instagram and think I should find a picture you posted. One year later I still tear up when I Continue reading →

My Advice for Millennials

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 33 Comments/ 5329

What is a millennial?  Most sources agree that a millennial is someone who is born between the early 1980’s and the early 2000’s.  Which means that Chris and I are parents to two of those types.  So that makes me an expert, right? It makes 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...

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...

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...
