Join us on Thursday, October 17th, for an evening of storytelling, connection, and community in the enchanting "Backyard of Love" at Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse. Doors open at 5:00 PM for a cocktail hour, with delicious offerings available for purchase from the beloved Raw & Juicy. Stories begin at 6:00 PM sharp, so arrive early to grab your food, drinks, and a good seat.
October story theme: Waves of Inspiration.
Much like the ebb and flow of the tide, creativity can rise and recede in unexpected ways. Whether it’s the spark that sets a story in motion or the forces that keep us moving forward, these waves of inspiration can shape our paths, crash over us with emotion, or guide us toward calmer waters.

Featured Storyteller: Martha LaGuardia-Kotite.
Captain Martha LaGuardia-Kotite broke barriers as one of the first female officers to serve aboard two Coast Guard cutters with all-male crews. During her 30-year career in the US Coast Guard, she rose to the rank of captain, leading operations across the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean.
After retiring, Martha became a USCG Master of Vessels and now drives Seabourn’s Zodiacs on expeditions worldwide. An experienced TEDx speaker and empowerment enthusiast, she uses her “sea stories” and leadership insights to inspire others through her talks and books.
A graduate of the Coast Guard Academy and Harvard University, Martha is also an award-winning author of five books, including So Others May Live – Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers Saving Lives, Defying Death, which was used as a resource for the movie The Guardian.
