This is wonderful.
The best piece of advice I heard in 2022, while working in the studio, was from the 10% Happier Podcast: Stop and recognize happy moments when you’re in the middle of them. Literally stop and say out loud, “This is a happy time.” It’s a way to ground yourself in the joyful parts of your…

There’s Still a Little Summer to be Had!
As we slide into the end of August and Labor Day draws near, we’re hanging onto the last of the true summer days vigorously. The weather is still warm and the nights are getting a little cooler, creating the perfect time for one last getaway. We have many fun events coming in September and we…

Day Tripper: Portland, Maine
The Maine Day Tripper Portland by Tanya Mitchell I think the two-hour drive from Searsport to Portland is much like the old advertising slogan for another New England favorite, Dunkin Donuts – it’s worth the trip! Corny, I know, but if you’re like me and you don’t mind rocking out to some of your favorite road…
