After securing my camera bag in the pink basket attached to the front of my baby blue Schwinn, I hopped on and pedaled away in my flip flops. Weaving through tourists dragging coolers, wet towels and crying children as they exit the beach, I head toward the southern tip of Tybee. This is about five […]
Several years ago Sean and I both read a book by Timothy Ferriss called the Four Hour Work Week. This was well before we even had a thought of moving out of state. But it did begin to stir within us that there must be another way to live and work. The author challenges the […]
Fourth of July fireworks were never a big draw for me. I guess it’s because I grew up near Washington DC and our family never wanted to fight the crowds, traffic and hassle to go and be a participant. For several years, the Fourth was a family pool party at my parent’s house. That’s what […]
It was late one afternoon, still dreary and cold. The calendar said it was spring, but it didn’t feel like it yet. The grey clouds of depression seemed to hang over our heads, indefinitely. Most of our long time friends that we had through the years had moved away and found other places to carry […]
Growing up in Virginia, near the Potomac river, but still hours away from the ocean coast, I did not know much about the salt life that I read about in other people’s lives. Deciding where to start life over, we took my iPad and started following a path down the coast. “Let’s find a place […]

Scrolling through Facebook on my phone, I see Jeremy’s post (Jeremy is one third, of ‘In for a Penny’, Sean’s rowdy Irish band) he was announcing that it is Taco Tuesday at Blowin’ Smoke, a funky little restaurant in downtown Savannah. […]
We were young and ready to take on the world. Naive to think we knew what it was really going to take to be grown ups, but we sure as hell gonna to give it a shot. Not knowing where we would live to start our journey as a newly married couple, we planned a […]
Many people have been asking me to write this post, but honestly I have not known where to start. First there is the clinical side of the story. That is the timeline marking minute by minute the chain of events that unfolded on Friday June 12 and turned into a scary and heroic rescue resulting […]
It’s a typical work day on tybee. We got home at 2:07 am. Sean just finished his last set at the Sandbar after hosting open mic as he belted out Guardian Angel to the packed bar. I log in 6 hours of sleep and wake up to my preprogrammed pot of hot coffee. As I […]
A layer of clouds cover the island this morning. Not dark clouds, just white peaceful clouds. A little bit of light blue peeking through but not enough to guarantee a beach day. I am planning my day. Editing, marketing, a sunset photoshoot tonight, Sean hosting open mic at Tybee Social club this evening. It’ll be […]
