If you like to have your days and nights planned out to the minute and “responsible grown up” priorities in order then Tybee might not be the place for you. My schedule consists of things that I have to do and then there are the things that I want to do. These are spontaneous last […]
Monday was a difficult day for us to all get through, but leaning into each other we found a way. Over five hundred people gathered on the shore of the Savannah River at the north end of Tybee to say our farewells and “see ya laters” to Sweet Susan. There was a slight cloud cover, […]
I try to only write about the things that are uplifting, encouraging and give hope. There are bad things that happen all around, but I choose to not dwell on them. I don’t fill my head and creative space with 24 hour news channels. I figure someone around me will fill me in with the […]
Giving up is not always a bad idea. You have to count the costs and decide if something is worth holding onto. Is it worth giving your life for? In reality that’s what you are doing. When you spend the minutes, hours and days of your life worrying and fretting over something, you will never […]
The first day we visited Tybee was the last day of our four day exploration trip to Savannah. When I searched my Instagram photos for this post, I found out that it was 219 weeks ago the first time we crossed the Lazaretto bridge. We were scouting for a new place to start over. We […]

Tybee is an island filled with people that like to have fun. Which means there is usually some kind of party or celebration most any night of the week. Tybee is not just a pretty place to live at the beach. It is a tight knit community of 3,000 people that care about each other […]
There are several events a year that happen on Tybee and they all make me smile. But the one that is the closest to my heart is Surfers For Autism. SFA or Surfers for Autism, is an annual event on Tybee. The Boca Raton, Florida based organization travels to various locations in Florida, Georgia, Puerto […]
Anticipation and excitement grew as we prepared to move to a new town that was five hundred fifty-four miles and four states away. It was exciting and scary all at the same time. We had just swept clean the house we had been living in for a year. We had already sold or gave away […]
