Why Horses Are Masters at Teaching Presence and Calm

 BY ANGEL WINGS WELLNESS

There Is No Rush

In today’s world, so much emphasis is placed on quick results and instant achievement. Horses don’t operate that way. They teach us that strong foundations take time — and that slowing down is not weakness, but wisdom.

Learning how to approach a horse calmly. Understanding how to move around them safely. Recognizing when a horse feels relaxed or uncertain. These simple moments become the building blocks for everything else.

And often, they become life lessons too.

Seaport Grille for Margarita Monday

I believe Seaport Grille on Rowe Square takes the title for a “bottomless” margarita. The way this yummy pineapple jalapeno margarita is served makes it feel like the deliciousness will never end. Hats off Seaport Grille!

As I have mentioned, this Margarita Monday series is intended to share information about establishments that are open on Mondays which serve margaritas. So far this season we have visited Tonno, Beauport, Azorean in addition to Seaport Grille. Perhaps you have a suggestion for us? What’s your favorite?

Gloucester Community Invited to Dedication Ceremony Honoring State Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante at Sawyer Free Library

 ~ SAWYER FREE LIBRARY

The Sawyer Free Library, in partnership with the City of Gloucester, will host a special dedication ceremony honoring the life and legacy of Ann-Margaret Ferrante on Friday, June 26, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Sawyer Free Library, 2 Dale Avenue, Gloucester. The ceremony is free and open to all members of the public.

The event will commemorate Ferrante’s extraordinary contributions to Gloucester and celebrate her enduring role in making the reimagined 21st-century Sawyer Free Library a reality.

As State Representative for Gloucester from 2008 to 2025, Ferrante was a steadfast advocate for education, literacy, and public investment. Her leadership and commitment helped secure support for the historic renovation, expansion, and modernization of the Sawyer Free Library. 

The Library and City of Gloucester will dedicate the staircase connecting the Library’s main floor to the Children’s Floor in Ferrante’s honor. The staircase serves as a fitting tribute to her lifelong belief in the power of education and opportunity, symbolically connecting generations of readers and learners while leading to the spaces designed for Gloucester’s youngest residents.

The community is warmly invited to attend. This is a free, public event—all are welcome to join Gloucester in remembering a beloved public servant whose impact continues to be felt throughout the city.
