Mango Sunsets

This summer I have been stuck on the fiction of Dorothea Benton Frank. Her books take place in the “Low Country”, the islands off the coast of South Carolina. My interest in her work was piqued when her novel Folly Beach popped up in my recommended reads. A few years ago I spent some time . . . → Read More: Mango Sunsets

Rounding The Bend, Part 2

Today was an amazing day. I spent it with my daughter – meeting with the wedding planner, having lunch with her and my dear friend, then going out to dinner, talking more wedding plans..etc. This is a first for me.

‘Rounding The Bend

Currently I’m reading Return To Sullivan’s Island (Lowcountry Tales) by Dorothea Benton Frank. Her writing is not as deep and heart touching as Kristin Hannah, but the books flow with a great storyline. Last night I came across two thoughts that, today, on the morning of my sixtieth birthday, intersected. One was that two days . . . → Read More: ‘Rounding The Bend

They planned a full day to celebrate our 60th birthdays in lieu of a party. We started with lunch on the waterfront at Jerry Remi’s.

Once We Choose…

Today I read a friend’s blogpost The Salve of Heaven. It was about actively, consistently seeking peace. She reiterated how all of our days should be peaceful, even in the face of storm. I know. I said “how?” too. Her answer was simple. So simple I would’ve never thought of it. You choose peace – . . . → Read More: Once We Choose…

Vacation Weekend
