Happy Ostara!

Spring is dreamy.

Come row with me.

Slow down, tune in. Connect with place. The natural world. Yourself. A sense of wonder. It’s out there.

Winter to spring.
It’s been a moody transition.
March cycled back-and-forth between 🦁and 🐑.
The dramatic duet continues in April.
Spring IS here. Even if it doesn’t feel like it!
There is life. There is movement.

I went away for a week! Good to take a vacation. Now I’m back! Ready to row with you and yours.

Book a row this spring! Seaweed Rows later this month, part of Maine @seaweed.week
Full Flower Moon Row in May and Row & Paddle the Passagassawakeag, a new collab with @packraftmaine also happening in late May.

These, in addition to my regular offerings. See the whole lineup at my DWR website!

It was one week ago today that the official announcement came out that I won the Business Category grant from Women’s Net in Health & Wellness!

This is a HUGE deal! I was awarded $10,000 to develop a new service for my business: a mobile woodfired sauna! The sauna will be an extension of my services in the colder months and also open to the public as a community sauna and for private group rental.

I’m still walking on clouds with this exciting news! And so grateful to Women’s Net for this opportunity! They are very few resources like this for small, woman-owned businesses like mine. It feels all the more miraculous!

And an even BIGGER opportunity exists. With this win, I’m now in the running to win $25,000 at the end of the year! This would truly be a game changer for me, to have that kind of capital to invest in my business.

One of the criteria the judges will use is how many votes I get on my winners page on the Women’s Net website.

December is a long ways off, but I need your vote NOW to help keep me in the running! Please see the link in my bio to vote! It doesn’t cost anything and you don’t have to register. You just have to visit the page and click the arrow in the voting section. You can only do this once! Thank you so much if you’ve already voted already!

Congratulations again to my fellow winners in February, @handgrowngreens and @sundayssomething

Let’s GO!

Guess who’s in the March/April issue of @yankeemagazine ?

I just found out from a friend that I am mentioned in an article by @amytraverso about the upcoming new season of the show “Weekends with Yankee!”

Amy opens her beautifully written article reflecting on one of the many magical moments we shared out in my boat together last July while filming a story about midcoast Maine and Belfast.

The episode, part of the 2025 season, and also featuring @dos_gatos_gastropub airs in June. Stay tuned for that!

To be also highlighted in the current edition of the magazine is another delight! Thank you, Amy! I can’t wait to see the show. And us rowing together. And the seals! Selkie, indeed!

Pick up your copy of Yankee to read the article and other great stories of all things New England! You can also read the article issu.com on pg. 42! Plz see the link in my bio!

Grateful for this coverage and all that Yankee Magazine does to spotlight the unique businesses of our region, including Maine! Thank you!

This has been QUITE a week!
