Editor's Note
The Wait is Over! It’s time to meet Hilton Head Island’s most eligible bachelors. After receiving dozens of nominations for the Bachelor of the Year contest, we have narrowed it down to 13 finalists. Our judges took on the difficult task of rating personalities, based on…
Editor's Note - November
When cooler weather approaches, most of us tend to head indoors. In doing so, our natural inclination to make our interior surroundings a bit cozier. In this issue of Celebrate Hilton Head we introduce you to several business partners who are happy to share their…
Editor's Note - October
We’re looking for a few good men…SINGLE men. And guys, ahem, gentlemen, if you have to ask someone whether you’re “technically” single- you’re not! We invite you to submit your photo and participate in Celebrate Hilton Head’s Bachelor of the Year contest. It has long been…
Editor's Note - September
Autumn has always marked new beginnings for me. Perhaps as an October baby it was the way I clocked my first year and, since then, all successive seasons. Even as I sit enjoying the last few days of summer (spent frittering away the hours camping…
Editor's Note: April 2008
So my friends, in honor of April Fool’s Day, have a good chuckle whenever possible. Find humor in something that would ordinarily frustrate you. Get some perspective. Be silly. You might live longer. Or you might not. But either way, you’ll be a happier person!…
Editor's Note: December 2008
Most of my fondest memories are when something didn’t quite go as planned and a funny story resulted. Perhaps it wasn’t funny at the time, but days, weeks and years later, the fact that something went awry is what makes the moment so special and…
Editor's Note: July 2008
I love to fish. I don’t know exactly when this became a hobby, but most recently I’ve begun to think I may be addicted. For a while my friends humored me by tagging along. Now they may think it’s getting a little out of control. I…

Editor's Note: March 2008
You know what I think is kind of funny? Celebrity endorsements. Sometimes I wonder if the famous face touting a product actually believes in the product, or if they are just getting paid millions of dollars to say they do. When Ellen DeGeneres is at…

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.” —Unknown I have a lot of friends. Smart friends, funny friends, skinny friends, chubby friends, family friends, work friends, single friends, married…
Editor's Note: November 2008
Remember in school, when we had to come up with lists of what we were most thankful for? Funny how this list always seemed to coincide with “Thanksgiving”. Hmmmm…. In fact, now that I think about it, no one ever asked me to write about…
Editor’s Note: April 2009
Deadlines, Story Ideas, and other Pertinent Information. Or, in the words of Jerry McGuire… Help Me Help You! We (CH2 & CB2) like to tell stories creatively. And by “creatively,” I don’t mean “the fish that got away was HUGE!” stories, but more like “a fresh approach to…
Editor’s Note: August 2008
Remember the scene in Mary Poppins where Jane and Michael Banks “help” Mr. Banks place an advertisement (“advertisement” pronounced the charming English way, of course) in the newspaper for a new nanny? I love that scene, I love that movie and I love that song.…
Editor’s Note: August 2009
“Take my name and just let me be.” –Michael Jackson, “Stranger in Moscow.” I consider “Billy Jean” to be my entrance music. It has been for quite some time. In fact, I’ve never had any other entrance music. For those of you not familiar with the…
Editor’s Note: December 2009 - Tsunamis
It is impossible to know how important someone will be in your life when you first make their casual acquaintance. The first words I remember coming out of Pierce Lowrey’s mouth were, “When are you going to come work for me young lady?” I was…
Editor’s Note: February 2009
I am boycotting Valentine’s Day this year. Instead, I think I shall spend the month celebrating some other much under-appreciated and little publicized holidays in February. How about Wear Red Day on February 6th? I have a red hat. I’ll wear it proudly. Even if it is…
Editor’s Note: February 2010
Ahhhh….Love. “Love” is such an ambiguous word. It can take on many different forms, depending on whom you ask and what situation you speak of. In reference to Valentine’s Day, one most often associates love with romance. With the onslaught of Cupid’s yearly pilgrimage to our…
Editor’s Note: January 2009
Last Saturday I went to Bluffton. I went for the Christmas parade but stayed for the “locals.” All week before our (Kelly Stroud is the other half of the “our”) “trip” to Bluffton (to photograph the Christmas parade for the magazine), we made jokes about getting…

Projecting Perfection Lately I have noticed yet another bad tendency I have that always sets me up for some sort of disappointment in the long run. When I first meet someone of whom I initially think highly, I tend to project perfection upon them. Brilliant,…
Editor’s Note: July 2009
After spending the last few months living with the whole place to myself, I have come to this troubling conclusion: I am the messy one. When there was a steady stream of roommates with their significant others, family, kids, dogs, cats and one leopard-spotted gecko in…
Editor’s Note: March 2008
Things to do when you’re bored… Even though it’s March now…when I wrote this, it was January. Ugh. January. Not a whole lot going on in January. So I got to thinking… how does one amuse oneself during a lull in island activities? Here are a few…
Editor’s Note: March 2010
So let me tell you about my Valentine’s Day… It started with an 8 a.m. text from a friend of mine who just wanted to know if I was awake. And, thanks to that loud text message singing the strains of “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga…
Editor’s Note: May 2009
Are you a Thief of Joy? You are officially on notice. I find that most people in my life can be categorized quite simply: There are those who create problems and those who solve them. There are those who suck my energy and those who increase it…
Editor’s Note: October 2008
I often feel that I lead a somewhat selfish existence. The only creature I have to look after is my dog, and his needs are somewhat minimal. I look at my sister with three children, a cat, a puppy and a full-time job and wonder…

From The Editor: Things I've Learned-Part II
In our September issue two years ago, I wrote about a few things I had learned at the “ripe old age” of 31. Well, I am happy to say, I have not stopped learning. My scope of knowledge has increased with the experiences of recent…
Just What IS The Goal Here, Anyway?
A phone call I received yesterday got me thinking about this. The inquiry was about placing something or other on our cover, but is otherwise irrelevant. When it comes to deciding what it is that goes in this monthly piece of paper you get in…
The Bucket List
I’m not sure what prompted this thought process; perhaps it was the swine flu. But I was thinking about what would be on my bucket list and decided I should come up with one. Creating the list is the first step, right? As my dad…
