"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." – William Shakespeare, Hamlet

It’s early on a Monday morning and my feet are cold. I’ve jumped in bed with my daughter – who, at age 10, blessedly, still likes to snuggle – hoping to warm them up and ease us both into the week.

Right on the heels of Beaufort’s tricentennial, the Parish Church of St. Helena celebrates 300 years.

The oldest building in Beaufort and one of the oldest continuously operating churches in the country, the Parish Church of St. Helena is celebrating its 300th anniversary this year. And on Sunday, January 22^nd, the church will kick off this year-long celebration in spectacular style!

The world is new each morning – that is God’s gift, and a man should believe he is reborn each day.

 I stood on Fripp Island’s shoreline New Year’s Day to watch the sun rise. Against the backdrop of an incandescent horizon, small waves rolled across a stretch of beach colliding and tumbling, becoming one and then disappearing, leaving behind the sizzling sound water makes as it sifts and sinks in between granules of sand.

It didn’t take much for me to decide that my next phase in life would involve opening an all-natural, all-organic gourmet grocery store. I have lived in the Lowcountry all my life, and the things that have been – and remain – a priority to me are good health and involvement in the community. I am excited to say that I’ve been able to funnel these priorities into a tangible, community oriented effort, and it’s called Herban Marketplace. We open Friday, January 20, fully stocked, fully ready, and utterly beside ourselves with excitement (and possibly a little giddiness) about what is to come. We know we’re onto something big, and every time we share our vision for the community with a friend, colleague or potential customer, we see it “click.”
