What’s in a Name?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 22 Comments/ 585

Do you like your name?  Everyone has one.  But be honest.  Do you like yours? I have always loved my name.  I am just Beth Ann.  Not Elizabeth.  Not Bethany.  Nope.  Beth Ann.  Plain and simple.  Perfect.  Short and sweet.  Nothing fancy and I think Continue reading →

A Gentle Reminder

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 24 Comments/ 719

I find that I learn the most in life from object lessons or from little experiences that stay with me. It seems lately I have had a few church experiences that have moved me to be reminded that God’s grace is everywhere. This past Sunday Continue reading →

Dum Spiro Spero

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 26 Comments/ 760

I love mottos. There are some really fabulous mottos out there for different things. Some common ones include: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. The way to get started is to stop talking and start doing. Dreams come true. Hope for the best but Continue reading →

Yellow Gold

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 14 Comments/ 496

I really try to give everyone I encounter some grace. After all, we really have no idea what anyone else is going through at any moment of the day. I know that we ALL have things we are dealing with on a daily basis and Continue reading →

I have been working through my book 52 Lists for Happiness and one of the lists that is included is to list things that made me happy as a child.  It’s a great exercise to make lists and it is even better to remember childhood memories that Continue reading →

“Champions” In the Theaters Now

Beth Ann Chiles/ Video, Writing/ 14 Comments/ 1018

Every once in awhile I find a movie that I like to share because it has hit a chord with me. Chris and I had a nice date night on Saturday night and went to see “Champions” starring Woody Harrelson. I had seen the trailer Continue reading →

I am NOT Stephen

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 24 Comments/ 639

Let me explain. I am not Stephen. Someone named Stephen has apparently given my phone number to a lot of people. Now I don’t want to call Stephen out too badly. It could have been the slip of an errant finger that typed the wrong Continue reading →

Ordinary Like Me

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 559

Sometimes I just need to hear the words again to be reminded that even ordinary people like me can make a difference. It’s true, you know.  It really is.  Ordinary people like me can do extraordinary things sometimes. Oh I am not saying that I Continue reading →

Monster Trucks and Ashes

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 653

It’s officially Lent and for Christians it is a time of repentance and also a period of grief as it builds to the celebration of Easter and the resurrection of Christ. Every year when the time rolls around for Lent, I try to decide if Continue reading →

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...
