"Isles of Shoals, the Eternal Sound of the Sea."

"Isles of Shoals, the Eternal Sound of the Sea."

Since I was a little girl, I've always felt a profound fascination with lighthouses and the sea. Its majestic beauty penetrated, plunged deeply into my soul building strong bonds between the sea and me. I always dreamt with exotic islands surrounded by transparent turquoise water sparkling, glowing like a blue sapphire. As a kid, I never missed the TV Show, "The Gilligan's Island." If you are old enough, you might remember those old days back in time. The voice like a blue satin, the eternal sound of the sea strengthens my spirit and takes me to the golden Realm.

So, it won't be strange that you find me writing tons of things about the sea, just like now...

STAR ISLAND, ISLES OF SHOALS.

Contemplate the glamour, gaze over the pristine sea of the New Hampshire coast and on a clear day, catch the glimmer of buildings dotting the islands a few miles off shore.

Will you catch the island spirit? Consider a week-long summer conference, or maybe a weekend personal retreat. June through Labor Day, there's something for everyone -from arts and natural history to world affairs, science and spirituality. Try a weekend conference in early September when the weather is beautiful, or a personal retreat at any point throughout the season.

STAR ISLAND becomes a lifelong tradition for many folks who come back, year after year, to experience the island magic with their families, generation after generation. Once you've come, you'll remember Star Island for a lifetime. The cry of the gulls, the pristine beauty, the history behind, will stay with you long after you return back home.

I would love to go there for a personal retreat with my folks. Will you try the Isles of Shoals one day??...

Until we write again.

STARRY DAWN.
