How’s this for a #ThrowbackThursday ? I love the How’s this for a #ThrowbackThursday ? I love the history behind the Gay Head Lighthouse. It could be and should be a Hollywood movie! While the lighthouse was first lit on November 7th, 1799, this photo was taken in 1887. This is not the original lighthouse but rather the lighthouse that still stands today. The lighthouse keeper’s house is long gone. I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do! Have a great day!

I love the flowers on Martha’s Vineyard. I think I love the flowers on Martha’s Vineyard. I think that quite often we take them for granted, but the truth is, the towns, the countryside, would be very stark without them. As you walk around in life today, take a moment, stop, and smell the flowers. Happy Wednesday everyone!

I love a walk through Edgartown Village and no str I love a walk through Edgartown Village and no stroll would be complete without a stop at my favourite bookstore! No matter what you are looking for, Matthew and his incredible team can help you out! Of course, I’m partial to their “Local Authors” and “Mysteries” sections but they have got everything! Remember a bookstore is a ticket to every world imaginable.

It can be so easy to let negativity take over our It can be so easy to let negativity take over our thoughts. Even little things like when our friends tell us they’re going on vacation and we say “I’m so jealous!” That is a common reaction but it’s rooted in negativity. Why don’t we get really excited and exclaim, “I’m so happy for you!”? When we’re jealous, we’re both insecure and we’re comparing. Comparing our cars to someone else’s, comparing our bodies, our homes, our families, our achievements—all of it—is a direct road to depression, anxiety, and anger. Isn’t life hard enough without worrying about what others are doing? Or worse, worrying about what they’re thinking about us? Because if we’re judging others, we assume others are judging us. They’re not. The reality is most people are paying very little attention to what we’re doing. Today, moving out in the world, we need to be happy for those around us. We need to cheer each other on. It is infectious. If someone IS judging us but we meet them with positivity “Good for you!” “That’s great!” or the best one “I’m so happy for you!”, it just might turn them around on their own path. Have a really great day! I’m rooting for you!!
