"My lips taste like coffee and sea mist" - I love this line so much, I just kept re-reading it and tasting it!

An island is an old soul ☺️ love this. I grew up on Long Island and would go to Fire Island and Shelter Island and as much as I love Chicago and Lake Michigan, I need a dose of island and ocean soon! Thanks, Amie!

“An island is a melody.” It sings in your poetry and images of then and now, Amie. How lucky I was to see it in person and to be reminded of it now. I can’t believe there are so many islands off the coast of Maine! No wonder there’s so much great seafood!

An island is magical. It creates it’s one time and space apart from the nearest landmass. Reminded me of our summers spent exploring lake island here in the Flathead. 💕
