I Choose Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 62

I choose love over hate anytime. I choose positivity over negativity. I choose glass half full over glass half empty. I choose happiness over sadness. I choose embracing over holding at arm’s length. I choose lightness over darkness. I choose to be part of the Continue reading →

Open and Closed Doors

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 5 Comments/ 58

The Time Between the Dash

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 65

Ordinary Like Me

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 60

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 →
