I was flying out of my local airport to the American Christian Fiction Writers conference when I looked down, out my window. I saw the green-blue of the Atlantic. The sandy, foam washed shore. The curve of the horizon as Florida’s edge stretched north beneath floating white clouds. I thought, “People pay lots of money to vacation here. But this …
A Favorite Vacation Spot
This week’s table talker question is based on my books. Which means my answer is probably a given– Sunset Beach, NC where my books are set! When the experts say “write what you know” I’m a prime example. I didn’t have to look very far to find a perfect setting for my novels, The Mailbox and The Guest Book (and …
Remote Island Vacation by Beth Webb Hart
I was a little stumped by this week’s discussion question, “Do you have a vacation spot?” It wasn’t because I don’t have one. In fact, I have two: Edisto Island, SC and Saluda, NC. However, I feel as though I’ve blogged about those ad nauseam over the last couple of years so I had to think harder. Then, it came …

If only in my dreams…by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
I’ve been so tempted to parrot the other belles with this dream job question. I so identified with Lisa’s powerful post. I was phased out of my all-time favorite job of mothering, too, although I’m further removed from that shocker time-wise. I didn’t realize how time had dulled the memory of those very raw emotions until Lisa brought them back …
Living the Dream. Yessiree!
My biggest concern growing up was regret. I didn’t want to live with it, turn 40 and look back at my life regretting all the woulda, shoulda, couldas. Leading worship at ACFW But how can one avoid regret? How does one orchestrate a life that knows every right turn to take?Which job to take? Which career to “go” for if …
My Dream Job
Is it cheesy to say I’m living my dream? That I still marvel at the reality of these people who call me mom? That I get to see books (plural!?!) with my name on the cover? That I have the pleasure of interacting with readers and other writers on a semi-regular basis and call that work? That sometimes I get …
Dream Job by Beth Webb Hart
I always wanted to be a grown-up. Even as a little, little kid. Maybe it was because I was the oldest child in the family and considered myself a second Mama to my siblings (much to their great annoyance, I assure you.) Maybe it was because I wanted to put on high heels, wear makeup and spray that stuff on …
