Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 254

What I am reading. Just started this one and it is one that I am having a difficult time putting down. Been on a bit of a reading jag lately during this cold snap and this one is pretty eye opening. What I am listening Continue reading →

Stick With Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 214

. The above quote seems very appropriate for today when we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to our country and world. His fight for civil rights in the 1960’s was inspiring and quite honestly, past time. I don’t get political on the Continue reading →

It’s All In the Name

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 33 Comments/ 4801

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 →

Enough Already!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 258

Low temperatures and snow have settled in over our little paradise. I am going on record to say “enough already”. I am over it. I don’t mind the occasional snow — we haven’t had any for 3 years so it was time but usually it Continue reading →

Right There In the Baking Aisle

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 20 Comments/ 318

Sometimes things hit you right smack dab in the face. Grief is like that. Just when I think I have it all under control I realize I don’t. And honestly – that is okay. That is how grief is. It is sneaky like that. I Continue reading →

Soft and Functional

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 302

Kids say the darnedest things sometimes. 4 year olds are constantly surprising.. Time spent with grandchildren is never dull. All of these statements are true and after spending 6 days over the holidays with our sweet Theo I am holding all the memories close and Continue reading →

Messages on the Wind

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 283

Chris and I went to Blowing Rock, NC for a quick birthday get away before Christmas. His birthday falls a week before Christmas and I always hate that it gets lost in the busyness of the season. This year was a milestone year and I Continue reading →

My Present to Myself

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 314

Think about it. How often do we really give ourselves presents? Sometimes we might buy a special something that is out of the ordinary but the normal day in my life does not include giving myself a present. But today I am giving myself a Continue reading →

A baby can change everything, can’t it? I know in our family the arrivalof our sweet grandson absolutely changed our lives in so many ways. In the case of the Christian world a baby came into the world and definitely changed the world because of Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 15 Comments/ 1053

Joy comes in all shapes and sizes, doesn’t it? Joy is the feeling of pleasure or happiness. When was the last time you witnessed or experienced true joy? I hope that the answer to that question is that you experience it daily because I believe Continue reading →

The Good Girl

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...
