I've only been to Ocracoke one time and it was for ReMe. The beach was beautiful, our own little section behind the house and the larger stretch where we collected all sorts of ocean and beach treasures. I collected all sorts of shells. The smallest, most perfect little shells. The people on the island were so nice. Loved going into all the little shops. A magically, enchanting island that everyone should experience.
ReplyDeleteKim, your description just took me right back. I'm counting the days until October. <3
DeleteMy favorite thing to do on Ocracoke is collecting goodies on the beach!! This year I found a sand dollar and was so excited!
ReplyDeleteIt was absolutely beautiful, Brittany! I wish that I'd been with you witness your find in person.
DeleteI love to visit to walk and explore for pirates. It's such a magical place to research for my pirate dogs children's books
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the perfect place for your research, Marsha! I just visited your website, and your story and your books are lovely.
DeleteI can't believe I haven't found you before now!!!! Two of my favorite things.....Ocracoke and Art!!! My Instagram name is Ocracoke54.....I don't know if I can pick my favorite thing about Ocracoke....I love walking on the beach......going out to the beach when the sun goes down and looking at all the stars in sky......walking through the trails at Springer's Point.....going to Books to Be Red. Eating at Howard's Pub.....riding bikes.....eating ice cream.....watching the sun set! Oh I am missing Ocracoke now!!! I won't be able to make it to your retreat this year because I will have to save up the money....but I hope I can join you next year for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if our paths have ever crossed there in person, Celia?!?!?! I love all of the same things that you mentioned. In fact, I met my husband there fifteen years ago.
DeleteThe Island touches my heart in a way that's hard to describe, and our friends there have absolutely embraced our ReMe Retreats. I hope to see you there sometime soon. <3
I've visited Ocracoke once and I want to return. To stand firmly, on ever changing sand, the ocean breezes blowing away worries and stress, leaving a clean and open soul, ready to breathe, ahhhhh.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, indeed, J Elizabeth! :-)
Deleteive never visited the area... but if i could i would love to just take in the gorgeous scenery and connect with others ...at the retreat of course... this area calls to me.. i long for the time to just do some me things..... no worries.... no stress... do whatever comes along.. look into some great historic areas as well in that particular area... and find some good food.... :) cheers
ReplyDeleteI suspect that you'd find all of this and more on Ocracoke, Jaci. <3
DeleteI hope to join y'all next year...if I could go this year, I would make a sand angel and just breathe!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Beverly! When we return in October, I promise to make a sand angel in your honor. <3
Delete(I think my first comment was lost...) I've never been to Ocracoke. In fact I have not been back to North Carolina in 35 years although I was born there many moons ago. I'm a beach girl so I would love to experience a new area although I'm sure after I've been there I will not want to leave. And by combining beach with Art you've got a match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Contessa Kris, you'd never want to leave! ;-)
DeleteI've never been to Orcacoke but it looks exactly my style. I would love to attend your art retreat some day. What a perfect mix....water, beach, sunshine and art!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great mix, Lisa. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll have the opportunity to join us.
DeleteOcracoke is an enchanted place - both modern and old. I enjoyed wandering the shopping district and purchasing artisan products. The reception at the book store was delightful. Our Cinco de Mayo dinner from the local restaurant was superb. Our house on the bay was charming and comfortable - lovely views and great sunsets. For those who get to attend, be sure to try the outside shower at night - it's amazingly liberating and renewing. Best of all, the time spent having fun and exploring new concepts in art with the great teachers and wonderful kindred spirits. Many, many remarkable memories and renewal at every turn.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, yesterday afternoon Jodi, Penny and I met to plan our next ReMe Retreat. We were reminiscing about your reaction to your first ever outdoor shower in the moonlight. It's still one of my favorite memories from May
DeleteThe beach...North Carolina...art??? What's not to love?!?! Coming from SE FL to be able to visit such a serene, and less developed area would be heaven on earth!
ReplyDeleteYou'd love it, Heather!
DeleteI've never been to Ocracoke, but I've always wanted to visit. Just the thought of quiet walks on the beach, looking for shells, visiting the lighthouse....makes me breathe a little easier. If there was time for fishing, all the better!! Whoever gets to go will have a wonderful time, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteBased on your comment, you'd absolutely love Ocracoke, Angela!
DeleteI'd never even heard of Ocracoke until signing up for ReMe, but the draw of the beach is enough for me. I hope to experience a little bit of "island time".
ReplyDeleteI'm counting the days, Ellen! <3
DeleteThe beach! And the art! And the beach! And the art! Never been, but boy I sure would love to see the beach, and experience the art...
ReplyDeleteIt's heaven on earth, Cheryl. <3
DeleteWhat's not to love about the beach!! and then there is ART-LOVE
ReplyDeleteWell said, Betsy! :-)
DeleteI liked puttering around in the gallery and other shops....and the sunsets ..they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I'm already looking forward to next May!
DeleteSince u haven't been, I'm not sure what the experience will be like, but I'm most looking forward to learning from Jodi. Been waiting a long time to do that.
ReplyDeleteJodi's an amazing teacher, and the intimate class size during our ReMe Retreats on Ocracoke lend themselves to all kinds of personal attention, Autumnleaf. You're going to love it!
DeleteOcracoke in the fall. Talented artists teaching. Fun and laughter.
ReplyDeleteYou would love each of these, Donna!
DeleteIf I would attend the ReMe retreat I would love to spend time sharing creative ideas with new friend, walk the beach seeking inspiration for new creative projects and most of all learning how to nourish my creative soul.
ReplyDeleteYou've described it so well in both of your comments, Barbara. I hope that you'll have a chance to put your toes in the sand on Ocracoke again soon. <3
DeleteI have been to Ocracoke one time many years ago. It was a different time in my life, I would like to visit again on my terms. Enjoy the island for myself and take in all the natural beautythe island has to offer.
