Margarita Mondays Are Back!

Posted on by Pat D

Memorial Day is not only the traditional opening of the summer season, but is also the start of my Margarita Monday seasonal series. The idea is to highlight restaurants open on Mondays that have margaritas available. It’s a pretty simple concept but sometimes it’s a challenge to follow through until Labor Day. But this year, we start off at the wonderful Beauport Hotel bar. We stopped for lunch and our first margarita of the season. It’s a raspberry margarita! We enjoyed our lunch in a stylish setting though it was still a little too chilly for me to eat outside. The staff is attentive and the food appealing. Jim ordered the chicken sandwich and I had the fish sandwich. PS and BTW the fries are outstanding. I believe our bartender was a relatively new hire but he did very well. The other staff was helping him orient and serve which was very nice to observe. I often recommend the Beauport to Stage Fort Park Welcome Center visitors for lunch and will continue to do so. Enjoy your Memorial Day.

Cape Ann Pride flag-raising at Gloucester City Hall and FREE kick-off Party this Thursday, the FREE “Cape Ann Families Bowl With Pride” at Cape Ann Lanes on Sunday, and the FREE “Private Sail for Queer Teens and Friends” on the Schooner Adventure on 6/25.

The Silent Healing Power Of Horses

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 by Angel Wings Wellness

Grounding and Nervous System Healing

Spending time with horses has a calming effect on the nervous system. The rhythm of their movement, the warmth of their presence, and the quiet of the barn or pasture all contribute to a sense of grounding.

For people dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, or trauma, this can be incredibly restorative. Being outdoors, engaging the senses, and connecting with a large, gentle animal creates a safe space where the body can begin to unwind.

You don’t have to “do” anything complicated. Simply standing beside a horse, brushing them, or walking together can shift your entire state.

Building Trust and Boundaries

Horses are honest communicators. They won’t respond to force or inconsistency, but they will respond to clarity and calm leadership. This makes them powerful teachers when it comes to boundaries and trust.

Through guided equine wellness sessions, people learn how to:

  • Set clear, respectful boundaries
  • Communicate without words
  • Develop confidence and self-trust
  • Stay present in the moment

These are skills that translate directly into everyday life—relationships, parenting, work, and personal wellbeing.
