Reflections

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Writing/ 34 Comments/ 4706

This is one of my favorite pictures from my wedding day. I have several but for some reason I love this one. Never mind the soap dispenser and the feminine hygiene product dispenser next to the paper towels.  This was taken long before Photoshop and I Continue reading →

The Rumble Strips of Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 173

The pastor at Faith Memorial Chapel this past week talked about his ride to the chapel and how he hit a few rumble strips on the way up our curvy mountain roads. I knew EXACLY what he was talking about. The main road that you Continue reading →

It’s Really Quite Simple – Be Kind

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 38 Comments/ 835

It really is quite simple. At least in my mind it is. A lot of things could be made much better if we all just practiced a little kindness every day. I get tired of all of the negativity and if you are like me Continue reading →

You Are An Original

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Thoughts, Writing/ 22 Comments/ 897

Have you ever stopped to think about that? You. Are. An. Original. There is only one of you. You are uniquely made. You might have children and siblings who are similar in some ways but let’s just face it — each of us is indeed Continue reading →

Feel Like Screaming?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 5 Comments/ 284

There are days, aren’t there? I mean we ALL have them. Those days when we feel like screaming. I happened upon a new group on Instagram based out of Chicago. Scream Club Chicago was started by Manny Hernande, a breathwork coach who just needed a Continue reading →

So What’s a Little Cat Fur?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Humor, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 281

Owners of cats (and dogs) understand. The battle with fur is real. Owning a Siberian cat who has three coats including one very fine undercoat leads to a lot of fur. Maksim is really good about letting me comb him daily and I swear the Continue reading →

Fingerprints on My Heart

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 8 Comments/ 266

If you look closely at that picture in the header of this blog post you might be able to see some fingerprints. I finally cleaned the doors today and all traces of those little fingerprints are gone but not from my memory as they will Continue reading →

Hold Them Close

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 292

We all know that life is too short and this past weekend that was affirmed once again by the horrific flooding of the River Guadalupe in Texas. The headlines that hit us all were the headlines sharing the news of the number of young campers Continue reading →

A Quick Look At Signs – Australia Style

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 41 Comments/ 661

When we were living in Australia one of the things that I loved was the wit and humor that was everywhere.  If there was an opportunity to make a little joke it was taken.  Words were used a bit differently than we use them in Continue reading →

Is It Just Me?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 360

Maybe it is just me but the pandemic changed me. A lot. In a lot of ways. I have been thinking about this lately and wondered if any of my readers have felt a shift as well. The Covid 19 Pandemic really took a toll 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...

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...
