The Best I Can

To Be Empowered

“To Be Empowered… I accept that what is truth for me, may not be truth for another. I accept that each person is entitled to their own view and I do not always have to agree with that view. I accept that others need not agree with mine, as well. To Be Empowered… I accept the differences in everyone.” ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

A Busy Life

I lead a busy life. I enjoy staying busy. Work to me is fulfilling because I always feel as though in my work, from my business to my blogs I am making a difference in the world.  

In a couple of weeks, I’ll add a new aspect to my busy life — a job. I’ve been self-employed for 13 years. The recession has taken a toll on my business, so I felt it was time to make that leap back into the work force while the business rides out the recession. Thankfully the job hunt was painless. I found something quickly.

This Friday, I will be moving again  – back home to the Newburyport, MA area, where I grew up and lived for 33 years.

I love living in Maine. I love Eastport. However, job opportunities are sparse here. I didn’t think when I moved here that the recession would hit even harder than it had when I made the decision to move to Maine late last summer.

It’s all good. It’s my “Mid-life Crisis Adventure 2.0.”

Plum Island Washes Out to Sea

There’s a natural flow of tides that causes erosion on all beaches. Add to that storms and other natural effects and the landscape of a beach is constantly changing. I can remember as a child camping on Sandy Point on Plum Island (Newburyport, MA) and claiming a rock as my own. Much to my chagrin my rock was no where to be founf the following summer when my family set up camp on the Point for the summer.

While I was down in Newburyport last weekend I drove down to Plum Island because I had heard there had been problems there with homes built on the water front being at risk. The photo below is of the jetty at the Center Beach on Plum Island:

North Shore Magazine has an article about the situation on Plum Island: Last Days of Plum Island?

The romance and tranquility of Plum Island has lured homeowners to its long stretch of open shores for decades. But could the natural forces that spawned an entire community now threaten its very existence?

I’ve always been an ocean person, which is part of the reason I moved from Los Angeles, after nearly years there, back to the East Coast, to Eastport, Maine. (more…)
