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…

Brand with Boston Roots now available at Market Basket

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

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

Clam digging in frigid winter weather – not a mystery why clams are so expensive, but so well worth every delicious bite.

I thought you’d like to see these fair shots of Eiders that I got this afternoon at the Blyman bridge.
There were a large number at the entrance with the tide coming out. Some were diving for fish.
Hope you are doing well.

2020 New England Boat Show

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

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.

Pet of the Week- Jazzy

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

Jazzy 1

My name is Jazzy! I am a pretty girl about 5 years old. I made my way to Cape Ann Animal Aid when my family couldn’t keep me due to some allergies. Change can be tough but I am putting my best paw forward and excited for an opportunity at a family to love me forever!

Jazzy 2

In my previous home I was playful and affectionate. I loved being pet or bird watching out the window. I would do best in a quiet home as your one and only! 
To learn more about me or other animals waiting for homes, please come visit our shelter at 4 Paws Lane in Gloucester or check us out online at www.capeannanimalaid.org.

My husband took this video of these happy deer having a blast in a nearby field.  It’s so fun to see them playing…although they’re pretty well camouflaged and a little hard to see!

@Al_Horford 4 Years $109 Mil or @EnesKanter 2 Year $10 Mil Contract- Who Ya Got? Hey @danielrainge Let’s extend Enes!

This is why Danny Ainge is the best in the business.

When you get a player that has a great attitude like Enes Kanter who is willing to put in work down low and gives you 75% of the production at less than 25% of the cost, it frees up money for other great players.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

niawithlinda's avatarCape Ann Wellness

bailando graphicBailando, Spanish for “Dance” in English, is a routine focusing on the movements of the hips and hands to express sensuality and strength through movement.

Inspired by Latin rythyms, you will be inspiring your inner Selena, Ricky Martin or Charo.

Come join us as we heat up the studio when Nia goes Latin in Bailando!

Thanks to the generosity of Sarah Silfer-Swift at MAGMA, we are able to offer a free Nia class to all seniors on Cape Ann.  Previously this class was held at the Rose Baker Center but due to their limited space and the growing class numbers, we are lucky to be able to dance in this beautiful studio.  The center is accessible via elevator, see note below.

If you are a member of the Rose Baker Center, we will be keeping attendance as the center will continue to promote the class to its members.  Thanks to…
