In spite of the incredible spring weather we have had, jasmine in full bloom, and the good fortune of living here, many Beaufortonians may be ready for a change. Here are a couple ideas that you may not have thought about; they provide opportunities for getting outside while maintaining social distancing and supporting home schooling efforts. 

Many are afraid now.
Do not demonize your fear, and also, do not let it rule you.
Instead, let it speak to you—in your stillness, listen for its wisdom.
What might it be telling you about what is at work, at issue, at risk,                  
beyond the threats of personal inconvenience and illness?
As the health of a tree, a river, the sky tells you about quality of your own health,
what might the quality of your health tell you about the health of the rivers, the trees, the sky,
and all of us who share this planet with you?

Local craftsmen for Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity create beautiful, handcrafted furniture for a good cause

 By Mindy Lucas

Think you have to go to Charleston or High Point, N.C., for beautifully made, handcrafted outdoorfurniture? Think again.

A group of local craftsmen and women are turning out porch and patio pieces that are quickly becoming the envy of backyards and porches everywhere. Andthe best part of all? It’s for a good cause.

Called the Beaufort Collection, the furniture line is made exclusively by volunteers for LowCountry Habitat for Humanity.
