“You can do it! – coffee” is a cute little sign I have hanging in my room. I mostly just bought it as a joke a few years back, but now that my sister and I have a coffee shop it seems all the more appropriate! Obviously coffee isn’t my reason for doing things, but […]

The Story Behind Colleton Coffee
May I share the story of Colleton Coffee with you? It has been quite the adventure and I hope it inspires you! Just over a year ago my sister Mandy and I were talking shop – quite literally! Together we own Twig, a lovely boutique in downtown Walterboro, and we were brainstorming how to grow. […]
The Key to Success
The key to success is playing the hand you were dealt like it was the hand you wanted. I have no idea who this quote originated with, but I find it inspiring! Time and time again, as I look around at different people living their lives, the common theme that I admire is those who […]
Norman Vincent Peale
Norman Vincent Peale is an author I have recently discovered. A friend gave me a box of books, and it happened to contain one of Peale’s. I am big on reading uplifting and encouraging books, it helps set my pace and my thoughts. That is also why I like to share encouraging thoughts and stories. […]
Life Takes Care of Itself
“Life takes care of itself and leaves you with a story to tell” is a line in a song I heard on the drive from work one day. The song talks about highs and lows, hopes and disappointments – life in general, really. And the point of it is that we all walk through hard […]

Preparing for the Unknown
Preparing for the unknown can be complicated. Since it is unknown, it can be difficult to determine how much or what exactly to prepare. In town, we have a high profile court case coming to our small city. To say it is the largest thing we will most likely see in town in our lifetime […]
Daughters of the American Revolution
For the past few years I’ve been a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is a lovely group of ladies whose focus is God, Home and Country. We begin every meeting pledging allegiance to the flag and singing our national anthem. Our group is patriotic and God-fearing, two things that are very […]
Dare to Dream
There is a whole world of possibility before you, if you dare to dream! You may wonder, what gives some the ability to live lives full of opportunities that others only dream about? I’ve come to believe it is largely because only a select few have the courage and boldness to pursue those dreams! Dreaming […]
A Change for the Better
I’ve heard more than once that people don’t change. And I get it. We can all be hardheaded and resistant to change. But the other day I randomly read a quote that I thought was interesting. It went something along the lines of, “Remember, if you don’t like how things are now, you can always […]
