Out of the Darkness

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 38 Comments/ 467

Darkness. It surrounds me. The time change this past weekend has left me a bit discombobulated and unsettled. One of my absolute favorite things (and routines) when I am home is to wake up, get my cup of coffee, give the cats their treats and Continue reading →

Forgiveness – How Difficult is it to Forgive?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 52 Comments/ 447

Reposting from 2012 but the message is still applicable today.  Let me know your thoughts in the comments. So today I committed a faux pas.  A social blunder  I tried to make it right, I really did. I apologized. Profusely. Left and right. Up and Continue reading →

Repeat After Me – I Am Not “Less Than”

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Writing/ 36 Comments/ 516

I am not less than.  Neither are you.  If you are reading this say it out loud.  I am NOT less than. Today I allowed someone to make me feel that I was less than. Less than adequate. Less than qualified. Less than informed. Less Continue reading →

Just Where Do Those Balls Come From?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel, Writing/ 44 Comments/ 519

It’s that time of year again when I feel drawn to write a little post about Ada, Ohio. Ada is many things. It is a palindrome. It is a village. It is home to Ohio Northern University where Chris and I met and graduated. It Continue reading →

Photographs and Memories

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 40 Comments/ 571

I have been going through old photographs recently and it has been a blast from the past. My siblings and I are lucky enough to have had all of my daddy’s slides converted to digital files so that we can look at them and have Continue reading →

Home Sweet Home – Where Is Yours?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 62 Comments/ 679

What does home mean to you? Over the years I have had a lot of homes.  Ask my family.  Their address books are filled with addresses for us.  In total if I include all of the temporary housing and moves in my lifetime I have Continue reading →

A Phrase You Won’t Hear Me Say

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 32 Comments/ 524

I will/would never…. That’s it.  I won’t say it. If I have learned anything in my 57 + years of living on this earth it is that life is unpredictable. Life is unfortunately not always black and white. There appears to be some gray in Continue reading →

Three Words and a Song for 2018

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 54 Comments/ 530

For the past few years I have chosen 3 focus words to help guide me through the year.  In 2017 I chose Thrive, Vigilant and Surpass.  I am not sure I really kept them at the forefront as much as I should have but it’s 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
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...
