Simple Life starts in this beautiful town

Georgetown, South Carolina is an hour and a half drive from where we live. So it's one of our favorite places to hop in  to eat lunch. There are lots of retirees who love this grand and historic town where some America's war heroes came from. It's not just a tourist spot to come and visit but it's the peace, quiet, and picturesque that make everyone wanting to return everytime they visit South Carolina. There is a very impressive boardwalk where you can stroll around and see the marina filled with yachts and fishing boats on the water and the condos,  museums, evangelical and Catholic churches and a medley of restaurants on the land side. In the residential areas, the houses are centuries old so with the number of hybrid willow, and sallow trees and shrubs adding features to the scenic view, a trademark of the South. The sidewalks are decorated with patriotic accents and beautiful colorful flowers from different breeds and types. The place is dog friendly. Usually you can see vintage car displays or not
driven around downtown. It's a simple town yet it is rich with a culture and lifestyle and natural beauty.

Personally, the vibes that I feel everytime I visit makes me grateful for the opportunity I am blessed.  Georgetown is such a sunny and lovely town where you can see couples from all ages and families enjoying walking around and having a good time. 

When Thursday, Friday, and Saturday come, I craved to eat my favorite blueberry muffins and cruffins bake by a local bakery. Sweets for me are no longer my norms but once in a while I take a bite most especially if I finished a book or accomplished something worth celebrating. I also love the grilled fresh grouper or flounder with served with southern brown rice, gravy and string green beans sauted with garlic. 

Don't forget to consider Georgetown, South Carolina to be your next travel stop or as a retirement venue to be added on your list of places to visit.

The message of Christmas: Be that light

 An empty manger... The whole Christian world is waiting now for the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every year we celebrate Christmas to remind us of the birth of Christ.  Jesus made himself one of us. We can see Him in our midst every day... those people and children in need, the old, the frail, and the sick.  Jesus was about to be born but His parents couldn't find a home to even rest for the night. They were not famous people. Everyone must have said no to them, so the Holy Family ended up in a stable instead.  Jesus taught us humility. Yesterday, after we exited from the freeway, an old homeless man was right at our car window as we stopped for the red light to the side road. He was holding his sign as he looked around asking for cash or food. I didn't look at his sign made of a brown card board box, but his eyes met mine. As I bent over to get cash from my purse, the light turned green, and we had to go. As we drove further from the road where that o...

Who are blessed?

  By Marie Tan-Hancock  "Many are called but only a few are chosen." Because not all of us accepted the invitation.  A lot of people are praying in this world but what matters to God is a ❤️ heart that loves Him: a heart that loves the poor in spirit,❤️ a heart that loves His will, and His words. He admires a heart that loves the simplicity of this world and not the material things that blinded us. The Lord emphasizes that many will praise Him only with their lips but their hearts are far from Him. They called them 'hypocrites.'  Jesus came to the world to cause division amongst us: in the family, and in our circle of friends. Jesus said that Himself.  Jesus didn't call people who are intellectual and accomplished to join Him in His ministry but only those who are willing to follow Him. He called the fishermen, a tax collector and even the man who betrayed Him. Let's not judge anyone because we don’t like them, they had a bad past, they are poor and they are ...

PAUSE A BIT

By Marie Tan-Hancock   I just finished writing my sixth book, One Way Traffic ( Grow old young ) then I released it, and I asked myself of what's next. My energy was exploding, whoa.. I thought that was life well spent. But honestly, I was stressing myself too much, and too thin from overdoing everything like there's no tomorrow. I was holding my cellphone checking and rechecking for what's trending and multi tasking night and day while at the same time trying to finish the manuscript to be re-edited over and over again. But in spite of how pre occupied I was, I feel blessed, grateful that I have something to look forward to and to give out from what I love to do and  to share the good what's within me. The ME THAT I AM NOW.  Going back to the first released:  after reviewing the books printed, tsk tsk, my goodness, they were all misprinted. Oh gosh...surely it was disappointing. Then the next reprints were done but there were a few typos. After what happened, I told...
