“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” -William E. Henley
UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE: While in the hospital facing the amputation of his second foot (he had already lost one as a child), Henley befriended author Robert Louis Stevenson, and they collaborated on a few plays. Henley is actually the basis for Stevenson’s famous character Long John Silver from the novel Treasure Island.

With just three words, “today and always,” you can say what it takes some people years — and sometimes, entire books — to declare.

“Keep the magical allure of the sea close to your heart with this locket featuring a glass window that bows out slightly to hold a tiny 18 karat vermeil starfish and a group of blue topaz gemstones that float freely inside the glass.”
Both of these are stunning.

A custom necklace made with sand from your favorite beach.
I would love one of these to remember my grandmother’s beach house by now that there is talk of selling it.

This blog is but a small escape for a law student. At any minute I anticipate realizing I would rather spend my life at sea and run off to become a pirate.
In an ideal world, I want to work out west in Jackson Hole, WY, so I can contribute to wildlife protection and work on my hobby of photography, with any luck becoming the next Tom Mangelson. Then, in my off time, go to Atlantic Beach, NC for a seaside getaway. Ahh, that would be the life!
