Continued from Part 1 Tuesday arrives and my dear friend Erin and I sail over the causeway as the tide rushes into the marsh on both sides of the road. A slight chill fell into the air after the sun set behind the live oaks dripping with spanish moss. We were headed to a monthly four […]
Part 1 of 3 Living in the south, you don’t have to go far to find great food. I had a super busy week both socially and for business, which included exquisite meals most every day of this week. Starting with last Friday we got a surprise call announcing a last minute visit from Sean’s […]
A few years ago I read a life changing book. It was called “The Art of Non-Conformity” by Chris Guillebeau. At the time I started reading his writings he was in the midst of a quest to visit every country in the world before he turned 35. I was intrigued by his perspective and adopted […]
When I begin to describe Tybee for the first time to someone who’s never been here, one of the first questions asked is, “Can you drive there or do you have to take a boat or ferry?” Then I go on to explain the two bridges with a six mile causeway that connects us to […]

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 […]
