Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday, Spiritual, Writing/ 46 Comments/ 1533

Advent is almost here and I have seen a lot of great ideas of how to prepare for this season of expectancy.  I decided to jump on the bandwagon and get prepared before it is too late.  Time certainly is flying by and I have Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 28 Comments/ 525

Gratitude. Thankfulness. It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn toward these topics but my heart tells me that it should be an every day thing and not just something we do in November. I do live my life with an attitude of gratitude. Continue reading →

A Much Loved Poem Resurfaces

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 36 Comments/ 411

Forgiveness – A Personal Journey

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 30 Comments/ 462

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 →

Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Minnesota – What Do These States Have in Common?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 26 Comments/ 682

Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Minnesota. Four states not necessarily in any order. Four somewhat unrelated states and yet they all have a commonality. The other morning after I trudged up the hill to the mailbox I paused.  Not because I was out of breath this Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 34 Comments/ 1243

  Nothing, and I mean nothing, feels as good as a hug.     Sean Dietrich This morning I woke up and did my usual routine of reading emails, blog comments, blogs and of course catching up with my pal Sean Dietrich.  His words always inspire Continue reading →

Florence is Coming! Florence is Coming!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 38 Comments/ 504

Hurricane Florence is bearing down on the North Carolina coast as I write this.  We still have time before it comes inland and it appears that it will stall out and hangout for awhile before it really comes to the mountains.  I think it will Continue reading →

The Name Game – What’s In A Name?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 42 Comments/ 441

Names. They can define us. 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. Continue reading →

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...

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...
