Super duper supermoon
The waxing moon has been putting on an extraordinary show this week, almost like he’s rehearsing for the supermoon on August 1. You may know that supermoons appear closer and brighter than “regular” full moons because they are full at the point in the moon’s orbit that is closest to earth. The pull of the […]
Bloom where planted … and …
As we work on the exterior landscaping at Limina, we moved some perennials from our house on Cape Cod. We love connecting these parts of our lives through plants, and transplanted some of the calendula plants that thrive on Cape. The smell of calendula is very evocative for me as I used the lotion on […]
The trail keeps going
The trail network at Limina continues to develop with the help of numerous friends and supporters. It is so fun to see how all of the 19 different people who have contributed have seemed to enjoy the arduous task. From cold snowy days to very hot humid days, hauling heavy wood or wheeling multiple loads […]
Fog, mist, rain, mist, downpour …repeat!
Recently, Bill and I were meeting with someone who told us that this June has been the 2nd wettest June since they starting measuring rainfall. With over 5″ of rain, folks were grateful for the replenishment of lakes, ponds, and aquaphors – and our baby plants were very happy to get regular drenchings. That being […]
When our hearts are with other people …
It helps me to have a tangible representation of the prayers and reiki that I am sending to people I hold dear. On the beach, there seem to be endless reminders that the source of all life and love is flowing through all beings and connecting our spirits. Our prayer tree is available 24/7 in […]
The magic of fire
Despite the wet weather, on two evenings after dinner, we were able to have fires by the beach. One guest commented that this was heaven – the warm and crackling fire, the gentle breeze, the waves flowing on shore, and stars slowly emerging. And then the lightning bugs joined us! I can’t even remember the […]
Every day brings something new
I love the delight that arises when I spot something on the bay. The Penobscot Bay Tractor Tug Co. has three red tugboats that dock in Belfast harbor. They regularly guide large shipping vessels into the deep water harbors in Searsport and Bucksport, and we found an app that will identify the ships, the country […]
Helping Professionals Stay – June 23-29
Please help us spread the word – our late June stay is for anyone in a helping profession. Knowing how hard our first responders, day care providers, teachers and other school staff, health care workers, therapists, social workers, lay religious staff, chaplains, clergy, and many others work, we’re happy to offer a chance for rest […]
And now the landscaping!
It’s so hard to believe that one year and one week after we closed on Limina, we’ve come to the point of completing the exterior landscaping. What a blessed and surprising year this has been! Even though we were originally told that nothing could be done until early July, thanks to the creative, ingenious, hard […]
Limina chakra candles
I love beeswax candles and use essential oils in various ways, so it was so much fun to create Limina chakra candles! Author and teach Carolyn Myss, who is an healer with roots in Catholic and Episcopal churches, describes chakras as data banks in our biology that store and manage power. Extending from our pelvis […]
