My View of Life on the Dock
We went out with some friends last weekend and had dinner at the Boat House Grille in Essex
We go there fairly often and the Brussel Sprouts might be one of my favorite menu items on the North Shore.
Here is some of what we ordered the other night…forgot to get a photo of the brussel sprouts. Sigh. All four of us agreed that dinner was tremendous!

Dear Friends,
You are receiving this note because you donated generously or because you have been a friend and supporter in one manner or another to my documentary Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly.
I am beyond excited to share that we will be picking up the masters this week from the color and sound editing studio, Modulus, which I have been working with these many months. The film has come together beautifully. I think you will love the soundtrack by Jesse Cook and the new mix and voiceover recording. Because of several delays over the course of editing, I was able to include footage from the butterfly’s spectacular late winter exodus at Cerro Pelon, Mexico, and from the exquisite Monarch migration that took place along the shores of Cape Ann this past fall.
Currently I am submitting Beauty on the Wing to film festivals. Over the weekend I sent in no less than 18 submissions. Some festivals we’ll hear back from within a few weeks, others it may take several months. In the meantime, I am learning about film distribution and am working on scheduling a sneak peek preview screening for all my donors and will keep you posted about that.
Here is a link to the new short trailer. Beauty on the Wing Trailer
I hope you will have two minutes to view and also, if you could, please share. The old trailer has thousands of views and believe it or not, number of views is important to festival organizers and film distributors So please share. Also, I am creating a longer, more detailed trailer and will send that along later this week.
A most heartfelt thank you for your generosity and your kind support. I am so grateful.
Sincerely,
Kim
P.S. See below very rough draft of a poster because I needed one quickly for the festival applications- I am looking for a graphic designer who can help with some ideas I have for posters, postcards, and other promotional materials. Please let me know if you have someone you love to work with. Thank you!

THE THREE PHASES OF LIFE – By Vishnu Om
#Ayurveda is a preventative system of medicine and health care but also a guide to support you in optimal living.
How we choose to live our lifestyle will determine if we will incur disease or redirect it.
Our lifestyle should be a reflection of our life, and our life should be supported by choices that enliven us versus enslave us.
As we live according to the daily cycle, seasonal cycle, annual cycle, lunar cycle and life cycles, we can recycle…

With more than 80 stores throughout New England, Market Basket is rich in history dating back to 1917. The iconic market has served the community throughout history with a philosophy of showing care and respect for all; that philosophy remains strong today and is evident now that BUBS Naturals is available at Market Basket.
BUBS Naturals is a collagen protein company founded in memory of Winchester Native Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty. Glen was killed September 12, 2010, in Benghazi. The former Navy SEAL was one of four Americans killed in the attack that made headlines around the world and had a strong impact on our nation. Though Glen lived in San Diego, California, in the years before his death, he was born in Winchester and grew up there. Glen graduated from Winchester High; his family still lives in Massachusetts and the community joined them in mourning his death and now honors his legacy through the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation. Senator Ed Markey has stood behind Glen’s legacy and is supporting the current Congressional Gold Medal bill honoring Glen and the other Americans killed in Benghazi.
BUBS Naturals supports the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation by donating 10% of all profits to the foundation. Sean Lake and TJ Ferrara founded BUBS Naturals while on a quest to improve their own health and they knew this collagen protein was also a supplement their fallen friend, Glen, would have loved. Sean finds peace in his annual visits home to Gloucester, Massachusetts as he and Glen were lifelong friends that grew up in Winchester together. He always looks forward to Winchester’s annual Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation 5k/10k Road Race. The September event attracts about 1,000 runners each year.
Each serving of BUBS Naturals Collagen Protein Powder will provide 20g of Collagen Protein and 7 essential amino acids, yet there’s only 1 ingredient. This is the purest form of collagen protein; in fact it is the only single-sourced collagen o n the market and the only brand that is

Rick and I really love going to the Boat Show. We only want our kayaks but seeing these beautiful boats is so much fun. It is always nice to see Tobin from Cape Ann Marina and Mile Marker, Voyager Marine from Essex, Browns yacht Yard and the power of the engines. There seems to be more boats with solar panels installed on the boats, which is a great idea.
