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 […]
It was just after midnight and the train continued swaying on the rails as it pushed ahead northward through South Carolina then North Carolina. My head filled with thoughts coming from every direction. Bouncing from happy memories from less than twenty four hours ago when my just-turned-eighteen-years-old-daughter, Baylie, had invited me to dinner to the […]
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 […]
It’s labor day weekend. The final hurrah of summer for most of the country. Our island has slowed down in the last week. There was threat of Tropical storm Erika visiting us.

I was a stay at home mom with five kids. One in private school, one in middle school, one in elementary school, one in preschool and a nursing baby attached at the hip. I was in two car pools. I volunteered at two schools. I made home cooked meals for my family seven days a […]
In recent days and weeks I have had several conversations with people who are excited about new doors opening and changes in store for them. Moving on to the next stage and chapter of their lives. New job, career change, school, moving to a new place, selling a house, buying a house, or completely starting […]
A blast of hot air rolled out of the rental car as I opened the passenger door. Texas heat clung to my skin until the air conditioning cooled the car. Sean and I were giving a ride to our class instructor. We were driving from the Red Roof Inn on i-35 in South Austin to […]
It’s been three years and I still haven’t gotten the hang of it. Here in the south the kids head back to school around the first week of August. Yesterday was the first day of school for many Tybee and Savannah students. This is when everyone announces “Summer’s over!” “What??” I exclaim, “It was 98 […]
Sean had just finished his last tune from hosting and playing the weekly open mic night at The Sandbar. It was 2:30 in the morning. As I returned to the front bar from the back room, Sean said he had a surprise for me. I was pretty tired at this point and ready to be […]
