you mean where is the brewery?

😂😂

it’s possible a space opened up in September, if you know anyone who needs/wants/whatever the magic of Monhegan in their life …then again who DOESN’T need a little Monhegan magic ✨🪄✨

Sarah- For some reason the photograph of all the boulders in Monhegan, Maine--stood out to me. Something about the way they're spread out, with people standing atop, really captures the human spirit. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia

Thanks, Thalia and I agree! The smooth stones of Pebble Beach are an extraordinary testament of resilience. Always a favorite hike on retreat or really anytime ~

Thank you for sharing this part of your heart and home. I felt like I took a long walk with you around the island. 💕 my summer days are a blend of lots of outdoors.

Hi Sarah. Loved reading about Monhegan and your dogs. I am very, very envious of the rhythm of your island life and being surrounded by peace and beauty. (My summer is 24/7 book launch.) News: Inspired by our recent interview on Substack, an author has asked me to read her manuscript and interview her about it for publication on Brevity blog. I told her what our exact process was and she wants to do the same. I committed to doing this because it will challenge me to do something I've never done and can help a fellow writer as you did for me. Paying it forward!!!!! Drink in your island beauty until you are all island and it drinks in you.

wow!! I’m so happy to hear this for you 🙌🏻🙌🏻

if you want to do a reading put her this fall, I could probably arrange it with the librarian 😉

i do enjoy the pace of my summer so far, although i wish i was doing more pen to paper writing rather than simply dictate into my notes app while I walk 😂😂

lots of love 💕
