REIKI TRAINING LEVEL 1
Reiki Master Marleen Woodwill offer a class in Level 1 of Usui Reiki training.

Reiki is a Japanese hands-on healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki means Universal Life Energy, the energy that sustains all life. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects…

Article from WHDH- “How Does Massachusetts Decide Who Gets Summoned For Jury Duty?”

How Does Massachusetts Decide Who Gets Summoned For Jury Duty ?

By Edgar B. Herwick III

Maybe this scenario sounds familiar to you. You’ve been summoned for jury duty — like two or three times in the past few years. But your, say, spouse, sibling, coworker? Not a single summons. This happened to Pepperell resident Carrie Powanda-Croft, who reached out to the Curiosity Desk to ask why.

I’m curious about the process for being selected for jury duty. How does that work in Massachusetts? Why is it that some people seem to get called more often than others?

For answers, I went straight to the source: Pamela J. Wood, Jury Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Wood and her 30-person team are responsible for keeping the state’s court system well-stocked with qualified, potential jurors. So, how do they pick ‘em?

Rockport police are here at the school and have determined that it is safe to continue with school today. They will be here throughout the day today.

Paint Factory From Janice LeBrun

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Good morning!

I was doing some research on the old paint factory, trying to get more information on it, when I came across your website. Fascinating pictures and articles! So, a few years ago I was on a whale watch out of Gloucester, and coming into the harbor, I snapped the landscape that was breathtaking, one of those photos was the paint factory. I took that photo recently and digitally painted it, it has won several awards from around the world. I thought I would share it with you!

Thank you and now I am a fan of Good Morning Gloucester!

2020: Celebrating the New Year and Expressing Gratitude … Gloucester-style

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Karen Pischke BSN, RN's avatarCape Ann Wellness

New Year’s Day began with a ‘walk of good intentions.’ Blessed with sunshine and mild temperatures on Cape Ann, friends and strangers came together for a walk in Dogtown. We hiked to Whale’s jaw. A piece of the Whale’s jaw boulder broke off in 1989, but Whales Jaw still stands as it has for over ten thousand years. Standing as a reminder of strength, resiliency and endurance, and symbolic of Gloucester’s fishermen and women. There, we celebrated the new year with a guided meditation and sharing good intentions of gratitude, tolerance and peace. 

With Gratitude. Thank you to Jimmy and Laurel for extending their annual New Year’s walk to this community event, to Wendy for her soulful guided meditation, for the all those who came out for the walk and their positive energy, and to Laura, for the beautiful space to gather! One sentiment shared by the the group was the hope that…
