Luxe Life in the Low Country 10/28/24

What is the luxe life? I am starting to think it’s actually pretty overlapped with the simple life. Know what it is that you're living for. Appreciate little drops of beauty, but don't get wrapped up in an endless sprint with the Joneses.

It seems to me that a lot of living the dream is taking the time to stop, look, and appreciate what’s there right around you. I’m at this fancy resort in South Carolina's low country right now, and the photo above is the really good stuff that's happening this weekend. READ MORE

Look closely at the photo above. My .... but yes, it IS beautiful. The horse is a marvelous majestic creature. Disclosure: I am not a horsewoman. But I admire them. The bond. The trust. The care. The bravery. On the part of the woman, and of her mount. Let's look again - look closely at her seat. She's riding side saddle. Oh my stars! Who on earth thought of this bizarre contraption?! Perhaps it was someone who didn't want to miss out on life, no matter the degree of difficulty or obstacles in her path. READ MORE

Rainy Days and Mondays 10/7/24

Rainy Days and Mondays

Some days. Some days, I feel crazy searching for little drops of Love Note beauty. Like today. How do I reconcile ruminating on life's little luxuries amidst all of the devastation from Helene? And now Milton, gathering speed. “They” say the show must go on. But really, must it?

I don't know. I hope that some of our country's sharpest minds are hard at work developing better ways to support our fellow Americans in the path and aftermath of Mother Nature's destruction. We do go on. As individuals, we give what we can, and maybe we stretch to give a little more. We love a little harder and we hug a little more fiercely. We continue to reach out, to connect.

Boho Elegance 9/30/24

I spent last weekend on Nantucket with some dear old friends. Despite nonstop rain and incessant winds which managed to sink several boats in the harbor, we had a ball. Of course that brings to mind all the communities from Florida to North Carolina, still reeling from the devastation of Helene. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My friend Sarah Tucker, whose home on the west coast of Florida narrowly escaped the flooding, has shared this link to purchase supplies big and small through Amazon, which will be delivered to areas in her community that were the worst hit. Sarah knows the organizer personally, and "can absolutely vouch for her delivering this into the hands that need it". How amazingly brilliant that this effort can be organized by distributing an Amazon wish list? READ MORE
