  • Gloucester, Mass…Glawster

    The oldest seaport in the United States…Gloucester shares the land point with Rockport.

    I intuitively pull an oracle card every morning from my box of Alana Fairchild’s “Sacred Rebels” cards. Only twice in many months have I chosen a card in this manner that I’ve thought…what?….I’m not sure what this means…which actually means…shhhh…there is obviously something subconsciously you haven’t recognized yet.
