“You can dance in a hurricane, only if you’re standing in the eye.” – Brandi Carlile

We go through various storms in our life and don’t realize how strong we are inside ourselves until that moment the wind and rain gives a brief moment of reprieve. That’s when we learn how to embrace every moment we’re still alive.

Memoir: Of a Woman

Each of us has a story to tell. Sometimes more than one story. Of a Woman is a woman’s journey from brain tumor diagnosis, the worldwide quest to find a cure, and how to manage life in between.

Seeking Lodging Hosts in Midcoast Maine for a smal Seeking Lodging Hosts in Midcoast Maine for a small women’s retreat + upcoming Midcoast Maine travel guide

Hello #MidcoastMaine friends and neighbors,
I’m planning a summer/fall #retreat for my readers, right here in Midcoast Maine, and I’m currently seeking local lodging partners— B&Bs, or cottage rentals—who may have unbooked space and are interested in a low-key, heart-centered opportunity.
■ What I’m looking for:
-	Welcoming, peaceful accommodations within 20–30 minutes of Rockland/Camden
-	Availability for a weekend or midweek retreat (flexible dates through October)
-	A few unbooked rooms or a cottage for 6–10 retreat guests

This is a #soulful gathering centered on #healing, creativity, and #storytelling—designed to help attendees reconnect with themselves in a supportive, beautiful setting. I’d love to help fill your space—and in return, I’m happy to promote your lodging through my audience.

■■ ALSO: I’m finalizing a Midcoast Maine travel guide!
If you own or manage a local business—lodging, dining, shops, experiences—and want to be included, now is the time to reach out before it goes to print. I’d love to highlight hidden gems, local favorites, and businesses that make this region special and I might have missed in my research. THERE IS NO CHARGE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION.
■ Interested or want to learn more?
Please email me: sdalpozzal@gmail.com
Or message me via Instagram: @shannondtravels 
Let’s support each other and celebrate this incredible corner of the world we call home.
Warmly,
Shannon DalPozzal

"We all experience betrayal at some point, but it’s how we heal that matters. Forgiveness is for us, not them.”

1. Think of three times you felt betrayed (family, partner, friend, or institution).

2. For each: Reflect on the cost and the hidden wisdom.

3. Choose one and write a forgiveness letter to yourself.

“I forgive myself, releasing the burden of what could’ve been.”

Cheers to the first fire pit night of the season a Cheers to the first fire pit night of the season at @thebeehivecottage - it’s felt like an endless winter here in #MidcoastMaine and May has been foggy and rainy. We took advantage of a break in the clouds to get together with neighbors on the point to catch up and wind down. Hoping the sun comes out soon!
