“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.

This week I visited a Wes Anderson-worthy summer camp and a seaside inn where the fire pit is just steps from the waves. I’m dreaming up Journey to Becoming retreats—and carrying both joy and grief in my suitcase as I head back to Louisiana for a funeral, a wedding, and some grandbaby snuggles. 💛

Would you attend a retreat here?

Camp DeForest just opened last week and stepping o Camp DeForest just opened last week and stepping onto the property felt like flipping open a vintage field journal. There’s a canoe. A fire pit. A little compass swinging from a pegboard.
If my younger self could have built a retreat center, this might’ve been it.
Now I’m asking myself: Could this be the setting for a “Journey to Becoming” weekend retreat?

Would you come journal and sip something special here?
Maine is trying to apologize for all those foggy, Maine is trying to apologize for all those foggy, misty weeks we’ve had. It’s nice to finally have an afternoon to enjoy outdoors, in the sunshine ☀️ , just watching the lobster 🦞 boats return to Cushing Harbor. Lots to be thankful for 🙏🏻. Happy hour is every hour in my world. Cheers! 🍸

After a stretch of Nor’easter gloom, this kind of golden light feels like a personal gift. The Beehive is open, the grass is green, and all is calm (even the guests). Grateful for quiet days, warm light, and a little space to breathe.
