I had a chance to visit a lighthouse yesterday. I climbed to the top and thoroughly enjoyed the view of Lake Huron. It was a really gorgeous day, and the blue of the water and the blue of the sky seemed to amplify each other.
As I climbed to the top, the tour guide was funny, engaged, and clearly connected to this place. This was not because he had memorized lines to say, but because he clearly loved where he was and what he was doing. He was very grandfatherly, witty, and playful with the kids on the tour.
It’s lovely to see people connected to places they love, and it feels energizing for communities to connect around those places.
Whatever you do, and whatever you love, keep shining bright, friends.
