How Couples Can Create a Great Trip to Savannah, Georgia

Savannah, Georgia—the city where Spanish moss drips from the trees like poetry, the cobblestone streets whisper secrets of the past, and the sweet tea flows almost as easily as the romance. If you and your partner are dreaming of a getaway filled with Southern charm, coastal breezes, and just the right touch of ghostly mystery, Savannah is calling your names.

So, how do you plan the perfect couple’s trip to this charming Southern gem? Easy. Here’s how to make your Savannah escape unforgettable, romantic, and full of that sweet, slow magic the city is famous for.

Choose the Right Place to Stay (Think Southern Comfort Meets Romance)

Savannah has no shortage of dreamy accommodations—whether you're into cozy historic inns, riverside boutique hotels, or charming Airbnb stays tucked away in moss-covered corners of the city.

💑 Couple-approved spots include:

• The Gastonian – A romantic bed & breakfast housed in two 1868 mansions. It’s practically made for hand-holding and champagne.

• Perry Lane Hotel – Chic, artsy, and central with rooftop views and luxury charm.

• A Historic Carriage House Airbnb – For couples who want a bit more privacy and that “live like a local” experience.

Pro tip: Make sure your room has a balcony or courtyard. Savannah nights are made for sipping wine under the stars.

Wander the Squares Like It’s a Real-Life Rom-Com

Savannah’s famous for its 22 historic squares, each with its own vibe, statues, and story. Take your time strolling hand-in-hand through these lush little pockets of greenery surrounded by antebellum mansions and quaint churches.

💘 Don’t miss:

• Chippewa Square – Where Forrest Gump sat with his box of chocolates (yep, that bench).

• Madison Square – Romantic, quiet, and photogenic.

• Monterey Square – Home to the beautiful Mercer-Williams House (perfect for true crime buffs and architecture lovers alike).

Stop. Sit. Cuddle on a bench. Repeat.

Dine Like Southern Royalty

You can’t say you’ve visited Savannah until you’ve eaten something fried, something smothered in butter, and something served with a drawl. Lucky for you, there are plenty of swoon-worthy restaurants perfect for couples.

🥂 Top date night picks:

• The Grey – Set in a restored Greyhound station, this is fine dining with character.

• Elizabeth on 37th – Romantic Southern dining in a historic mansion. Dress up, because you’re going to feel fancy.

• The Wyld – For a breezy, casual lunch date on the water. Order oysters and toast to being fabulous.

And don’t forget dessert at Leopold’s Ice Cream—bonus points if you share a milkshake with two straws like it’s 1952.

Get Spooky (Because Nothing Brings You Closer Than Ghosts)

Savannah is one of the most haunted cities in America, and what’s more romantic than clinging to your partner during a ghost tour under a full moon?

👻 Options for thrill-seeking lovebirds:

• Ghosts & Gravestones Tour – A spooky trolley ride through haunted sites.

• Moon River Brewing Co. – Enjoy a pint in one of the most haunted buildings in Savannah.

• Bonaventure Cemetery – Gorgeous, haunting, and unexpectedly peaceful. Take a walking tour or go explore on your own if you're feeling brave.

Spend a Day on Tybee Island

Just a short drive from Savannah is Tybee Island, your chance to kick off your shoes, walk the beach, and soak in the coastal calm. It’s the perfect romantic day trip.

🏖️ Couple activities:

• Collect seashells during sunrise walks.

• Rent bikes and explore the island together.

• Enjoy dinner at The Crab Shack, where “the elite eat in their bare feet.”

The beach, the breeze, the seafood, and your sweetheart—what more could you want?

Take a Romantic Riverboat Cruise

End one of your evenings with a dreamy cruise aboard the Savannah Riverboat. With dinner, dancing, and sweeping views of the city from the water, it’s the kind of romantic moment you’ll remember long after the boat docks.

💃 Hint: Book a sunset cruise for that perfect golden hour glow.

Add Some Local Charm

Sprinkle in unique Savannah experiences that really make your trip stand out:

🎨 Browse the SCAD Museum of Art
🌿 Visit the Savannah Botanical Gardens
🛍️ Shop for handmade goods at the River Street Market
🎶 Catch live jazz at Good Times Jazz Bar

Savannah is made for wandering and discovering—so don’t be afraid to get a little lost together.

Slow Down and Savor the Southern Magic

In Savannah, time moves a little slower—and that's a good thing. It’s a city that encourages you to take your partner’s hand, breathe in the jasmine, admire the architecture, and dance like no one’s watching (especially if you’re on River Street at night).

Whether you’re sipping sweet tea on a porch swing, taking a spooky stroll through haunted alleys, or watching the sun dip below the marshlands, Savannah offers couples a chance to fall in love all over again—with each other, and with the city.

🎒 Pack your bags, lovebirds—Savannah is waiting.

A Climax in Time

“What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo.

How would a modern woman cope if she were accidentally transported into the early 1900s, a time without modern conveniences, when women didn't even have the right to vote? And how would the Victorian era handle an intelligent, educated, assertive woman from the future?

Leanne Hermes, the wife of an eccentric billionaire scientist, was accidentally transported 99 years into the past by a device her husband made to capture the energy of the female orgasm.

Her distraught husband thought the worst, that his device had disintegrated his wife, until he came across journals his great-grandfather had explicitly saved for him. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. What he learns about his family tree and his family's company in his desperate quest to return Leanne shocks him to his core.

Forbidden

She’s sworn to protect him.

He’s determined to unravel her.

Neither is prepared for what comes next.

Brooke Carson is the best in the game—an ex-Green Beret turned elite Secret Service agent who plays by the book and never lets her guard down. So when she’s assigned to protect Jace Morgan, the flirtatious, unpredictable son of the President, she braces for the worst—and gets exactly that.

Jace is rich, infuriating, and used to getting his way. But beneath the designer suits and disarming charm is a man suffocating under the weight of expectations and political legacy. Brooke is the one person who sees past the headlines—and the one woman he can’t seem to shake.

What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a clash of wills and heat neither of them can deny. But their slow-burn attraction threatens to ignite just as a looming scandal, an arranged political marriage, and a near-fatal attack force them to confront a truth neither can escape: the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes.

In a world where loyalty can cost your life and love could cost your future, Brooke and Jace must decide how far they’re willing to go—for duty, for justice, and for each other.

Forbidden is a heart-racing, slow-burn bodyguard romance about power, passion, and the one person you’re never supposed to fall for.

How Couples Can Use Feng Shui to Improve Their Relationship and the Energy of Their Home

You’ve rearranged the couch a dozen times, bought the fancy scented candles, and even have matching throw pillows—yet something still feels “off” in your home. Maybe it’s not about what you have, but how it’s arranged.

Enter Feng Shui: the ancient Chinese art of energy flow that can do more than just spruce up your space—it can also breathe fresh life into your relationship. Whether you’re in a brand-new love nest or have been sharing a home (and toothpaste) for years, Feng Shui can help you create a space that supports harmony, connection, and just the right amount of sexy vibes.

Here’s how couples can use Feng Shui to improve their relationship and the overall energy of their home—without needing a degree in interior design or a truckload of crystals (though those can be fun too).

---

1. Clear the Clutter = Clear the Conflict

We know. Nobody likes to be told to clean up. But in Feng Shui, clutter equals blocked energy, and that stuck energy can create tension, misunderstandings, and general "Why am I so grumpy?" feelings.

Start with the bedroom (because that’s where the magic happens, right?).

• Clear out under the bed—yes, even the suitcase from 2019.

• Remove things that don’t serve your relationship (we’re looking at you, ex memorabilia).

• Keep only what feels calming, romantic, and relevant to you two.

🧹 Feng Shui mantra: Less mess = less stress = more loving energy.

---

2. Balance the Bedroom

Your bedroom should be your love sanctuary, not an extension of your office or gym. Feng Shui promotes balance and symmetry—think “couple energy” in everything.

✨ Try this:

• Use matching nightstands and lamps on each side of the bed to represent equality and balance.

• Place your bed in the “command position”—facing the door but not directly in line with it.

• Avoid mirrors facing the bed (unless you're into that, no judgment—but Feng Shui says it can invite a third party... ghosting the romance, literally).

And no TVs, please. Netflix and chill? Great. But actual sleep and connection? Better.

---

3. Use the Power of the “Relationship Corner”

In Feng Shui, each space has energy zones based on the Bagua Map. The back right corner of your home (from the front entrance) is your Relationship Corner.

💞 Boost the love vibes with:

• Pairs of objects (candles, figurines, artwork of couples)

• Pink, red, or white décor (romantic, passionate, and pure love energy)

• A symbolic item that represents your relationship—like a framed photo or love note

Keep this space tidy, intentional, and sacred to your relationship. No dirty laundry piles here, folks.

---

4. Don’t Sleep With Your Work (Literally)

Feng Shui teaches that energy lingers, so having your laptop, work papers, or home office in your bedroom brings “productive” or “stressful” energy into a space meant for relaxation and intimacy.

If you have to work from your bedroom, create a separate zone with a visual divider or cover your workspace at night.

💻 Think of it like this: Your bedroom should whisper sweet nothings, not scream “Q3 earnings report.”

---

5. Let the Chi Flow Freely

Chi (energy) should move easily through your home—just like good communication in your relationship.

Check for blocked areas:

• Can you walk through your space without bumping into furniture?

• Are doorways, hallways, and windows clear and open?

• Is the air fresh and the lighting soft and warm?

🌀 Use open space and natural light to invite calm, loving vibes into your home—and your relationship.

---

6. Decorate With Intention

Your home should reflect who you are as a couple, not just one person’s taste or old hand-me-downs from college. Choose décor, art, and colors that feel mutual, supportive, and inspiring.

💡 Some Feng Shui favorites for couples:

• Art that shows love, partnership, or nature

• Soft, cozy textiles and gentle lighting

• A couple’s vision board or shared goals displayed intentionally

It’s not about making it Instagram-perfect. It’s about creating a soulful, shared space that supports your journey together.

---

7. Embrace Elemental Balance

Feng Shui is built on five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—and too much (or too little) of one can throw your energy off.

🌿 Balance ideas:

• Add wood with plants or wooden frames for growth

• Use fire (candles, red tones) for passion

• Incorporate earth (clay pots, stones) for grounding

• Include metal (sculptures, mirrors) for clarity

• Use water (fountains, artwork with water) for emotional flow

Don’t overdo it—this isn’t a game of Pokémon. You just need a little of each to harmonize your home and heart.

---

Feng Shui is a Love Language

At the end of the day, Feng Shui isn’t just about moving furniture or picking the right paint color—it’s about intentionally designing a space that nurtures your connection.

It’s about making your home a reflection of your partnership: supportive, balanced, open, and filled with love.

So light that candle, fluff those pillows, and let your space support your story. Your relationship deserves good chi—and maybe a little romance along the way. 🛏️💞

Relationship Tips for Couples Who Work Together (Without Driving Each Other Crazy)

They say don’t mix business with pleasure—but clearly, “they” have never worked with their significant other and actually enjoyed it. Whether you’re running a business together, working on a creative project, or just sharing the same remote work space, working with your partner can be a beautiful blend of teamwork, trust, and togetherness—or a recipe for disaster if you’re not careful.

Luckily, with a little awareness and a lot of humor, you can thrive both professionally and personally without losing your minds (or throwing office supplies at each other).

Let’s dive into some real-life relationship tips for couples who work together—and still want to cuddle at the end of the day.

---

1. Define Your Roles (And Respect Them)

In a healthy work relationship, just like in a romantic one, clarity is kindness. Make sure each of you knows what your role is in the business or project, and avoid stepping on each other's toes—unless it’s a playful toe-tap under the desk.

Think of it like dancing: one of you leads, the other follows—unless you’re both doing interpretive jazz hands, in which case, good luck.

🗂️ Pro tip: Write down who’s in charge of what and check in every so often to make sure it still feels fair.

---

2. Communication is Everything (But Not Every Minute)

Working together doesn’t mean talking 24/7. In fact, over-communicating can be just as stressful as not saying enough.

Set clear times to talk business and clear times to switch it off. Not every dinner should turn into a board meeting, and not every board meeting should turn into a debate about who left socks in the laundry.

🗣️ Pro tip: Use a shared digital calendar or app to track tasks and limit constant check-ins. Love doesn’t require micromanagement.

---

3. Keep the Romance Alive (No, Really)

When you're working together, it's easy for your partner to start feeling more like a coworker than a soulmate. But don’t forget: this is the person you also binge-watch Netflix with, dream with, and kiss goodnight.

Make time for non-work-related affection. Surprise each other with coffee. Slip a little love note on their laptop. Compliment their work and their butt.

💘 Pro tip: Create “no work talk” zones like your bedroom, the car, or date night dinner. Boundaries are sexy.

---

4. Respect Alone Time (Even If You’re in the Same Room)

Just because you’re together doesn’t mean you need to be together all day, every day. Sometimes you need to put in headphones, close your laptop, or simply take a walk solo to keep your sanity intact.

And if one of you is an early bird and the other’s a night owl? Celebrate your opposite schedules—it’s built-in personal time!

🧘 Pro tip: Schedule solo time during the week. It keeps the relationship fresh and helps you recharge your individual batteries.

---

5. Don’t Compete—Collaborate

You’re a team, not rival startups. Celebrate each other’s wins instead of turning everything into a quiet (or not-so-quiet) contest.

If one of you excels at something, lean into it and cheer them on. And if the other needs support, offer help—not criticism or unsolicited advice (unless it’s about better snacks in the breakroom).

🤝 Pro tip: Say things like “How can I support you on this?” instead of “You should’ve done it this way.”

---

6. Laugh—A Lot

Things will go wrong. Emails will be missed. Zoom meetings will freeze on unflattering facial expressions.

The secret weapon for couples who work together? A sense of humor. Laugh at the chaos, embrace the imperfections, and don’t take yourselves too seriously.

😂 Pro tip: Have a “panic dance” or silly phrase you use when things get stressful. Bonus points if it involves jazz hands.

---

7. Know When to Clock Out

Just because you can work all day and night doesn’t mean you should. Set office hours and stick to them. Clocking out means your relationship gets the spotlight, not the to-do list.

📅 Pro tip: Create an end-of-day ritual—like a walk, a toast, or turning off notifications—to signal, “we're done working, time to be us again.”

---

Build the Dream, But Protect the Team

Working with your partner can be deeply fulfilling—it allows you to grow together, dream together, and build something truly special. But it takes intention, balance, and a whole lot of communication (and coffee).

So if you’re sharing a business and a bed, give yourselves some grace. Celebrate the wins. Learn from the bumps. And above all, remember why you chose each other in the first place.

Now go be the power couple you were always meant to be—and don’t forget to high-five in the hallway like the legends you are. 💼💑

The Way of Metamorphosis

 

The Way of Metamorphosis

Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution. 
 

 ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (b.1749),
German polymath

 

The Way of Metamorphosis is a trilogy that explores why life passes so quickly. The answer to this question reveals the causes of loneliness and speaks to the premise of the series:

How we spend our time reflects what we value in this life, and what we value dictates the pace of life. This, aside from tragic events, influences whether a person will be happy.

Some of the guiding questions explored in the trilogy are:

Why do relationships remain dysfunctional despite humanity’s progress?

What is the connection between time and feeling overwhelmed?

Why is a successful life not necessarily a happy life?

What does human metamorphosis look like?

How is hubris related to loneliness?

Can the pace of life be slowed?

By examining the collective wisdom, past and present, the trilogy seeks to answer these questions. It draws inspiration from an ancient practice known as metamorphosis—a practice that frees one from spiritual clutter and quiets background noise.

This creates space for serenity, nurtures love, and fosters genuine friendships. But this is only possible when a meaningful life is independent of identity, success, past mistakes, or future ambitions.

The collective wisdom teaches that the journey of metamorphosis is as beautiful as it is challenging. Although it is a path of tranquility, it can feel pointless without a guiding light. This is acutely felt when despair and loneliness seem more real than love, especially during times of depression, rejection, injustice, loss, or anxiety.

For this reason, the collective wisdom values fortitude when life is spinning out of control. It takes courage, inspiration, resilience, and a healthy community to thrive. As the Stoic philosopher Seneca once wrote, “Sometimes it is an act of courage just to live.”

At birth, each person is given approximately 1,000 months to live. Around the 300-month mark—mid-twenties—humans start dying as their physical bodies decline. Anyone who lives long enough will witness their face transform until it becomes unrecognizable.

Life is terminal because everything has a time limit.

However, what is not declining or dying is the spirit—the part of you that continues to learn, expand, and mature.

It is the part of you that grows in wisdom. The part that can be more compassionate, a better listener, and more empathic. It is the part of you that longs for love and has the ability to heal from brokenness, loneliness, disappointment, and malaise. It is the part of you that is meant to metamorphosize. 

These are some of the themes explored throughout the trilogy.

What, if not transformation,

is your deepest purpose?

~ Rainer Maria Rilke (b.1875),

Austrian poet and novelist

from The Ninth Duino Elegy

Parts I–III are written in the style of a Socratic dialogue, which embodies the spirit of a much larger work titled The Book of Time — A Compendium to The Way of Metamorphosis.

Part I is free to download or read online.
