Chasing.
Always chasing the next story.
Trying to stay ahead for our viewers. And the news cycle just keeps coming like the tide, unrelenting.
Every morning I know I need at least 8 different posts to fill for the day. The good part is that it keeps me in a creative state which keeps me sane.

Sea breezes sweep over Cape Ann with the fragrance of salt air inspiring fishermen and artists alike and all those wishing to live near the vast expanse of the North Atlantic.
Beauty is all around us. Crashing surf on the Back Shore, seagulls squawking, aerial combatants teaching their young how to fly. A harbor protecting boats of every description from the wrath of Nor’easters and ocean storms. Long sandy pristine beaches, Dogtown untouched filled with magnificent rocks and graceful trees. Then there is the Annisquam River meandering through from Ipswich Bay to the Harbor filled with wildlife above and below the swift current of tidal change.
A place filled with caring people, neighbors always willing to lend a hand. So many remembered for their courage. We’re all living on the same rock cohesive as we can be.

From The One Hour at a Time Gang post on Good Morning Gloucester:
I just learned about your beach cleanups from a church member. We were discussing a Beach Cleanup and Gathering that the Interfaith Group of the Cape Ann Climate Coalition will be holding on Earth Day – Friday, April 22nd. Here is a description:
Gather at noon at Good Harbor Beach to hold up gratitude for the Earth that sustains us, to hold space for grief due to the effects of climate change on people and eco-systems, and to nurture hope for positive action together. The gathering will be preceded by an optional beach clean-up at 11:15—bring gloves if you have them. For more information, contact the Rev. Sue Koehler-Arseneault at capeannrevsue@gmail.com or the Rev. Lise Hldebrandt at lise@stjohnsgloucester.org. Please join us!
Thanks for the good work you are doing! Please feel free to share this announcement with anyone you know who might be interested.
