Adventures

Last week while on a missions trip to Lynn, Massachusetts I had the opportunity to visit ‘Custom House’ from ‘The Scarlet Letter’. It is a book I’m yet to read, but now exploring Salem has made me want to start it. __________________________ #Salem #Massachusetts #RoadTrip #Adventure #Explore #Travel #Literature #ClassicLiterature #NathanielHawthorne #TheScarletLetter #CustomHouse #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #Chairless #OrangeChairClassics

“I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.” - Charlotte Bronte ______________________ #MoreyPond #Connecticut #Travel #Adventure #Exploration #CharlotteBronte #JaneErye #WomenAuthors #ClassicLiterature #Literature #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #OrangeChairClassics #TheOrangeChair

“I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. And this is one: I'm going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it.” - Emily Bronte ______________________ #Portsmouth #NewHampshire #Travel #Adventure #Exploration #EmilyBronte #WurtheringHeights #WomenAuthors #ClassicLiterature #Literature #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #OrangeChairClassics #TheOrangeChair

“When you've learned to laugh at the things that should be laughed at, and not to laugh at those that shouldn't, you've got wisdom and understanding.” - L.M.

Rarely does Antonia pose for a shot in the chair, but this seemed like to great an opportunity to pass up, as she had ‘Anne of the Island’ with her and we were only one state away from Canada. _______________________ #KitteryPoint #Maine #Travel #Adventure #Exploration #LMMontgomery #AnneOfTheIsland #WomenAuthors #ClassicLiterature #Literature #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #OrangeChairClassics #TheOrangeChair

“The soul grows into lovely habits as easily as into ugly ones, and the moment a life begins to blossom into beautiful words and deeds, that moment a new standard of conduct is established, and your eager neighbors look to you for a continuous manifestation of the good cheer, the sympathy, the ready wit, the comradeship, or the inspiration, you once showed yourself capable of. Bear figs for a season or two, and the world outside the orchard is very unwilling you should bear thistles.” - Kate Douglas Wiggin _______________________ #KitteryPoint #Maine #Travel #Adventure #Exploration #KateDouglasWiggin #RebeccaofSunnybrookFarm #WomenAuthors #ClassicLiterature #Literature #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #OrangeChairClassics #TheOrangeChair

In college my drama friends coerced me into trying out for the school musical. I auditioned and didn’t think much of it until I was told I got one of the lead roles. That musical was ‘Little Women’ and I was to play Theodore Laurence or ‘Laurie’. __ Part of that experience was reading the book ‘Little Women’ over winter break before we started practicing. I had always loved the movie, but the book was even more of a standout to me. I was able to pull so much inspiration from the depths of the story. It remains one of my favorite books. __ The play went well - even when I lost my voice a week before opening night. I learned a lot, gained some close friends, and even learned to stage kiss. Acting and singing in front of a 1000+ people is no joke. __________________________ #Concord #Massachusetts #Travel #Adventure #Exploration #LouisaMayAlcott #Alcott #LittleWomen #LittleMen #WomenAuthors #ClassicLiterature #Literature #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #OrangeChairClassics #TheOrangeChair

“He ate and drank the precious words / His spirit grew robust / He knew no more that he was poor / Nor that his frame was dust / He danced along the dingy days / And his bequest of wings / Was but a book. What liberty / A loosened spirit brings!” - Emily Dickinson ____________________________ #Travel #NewEngland #Amherst #Massachusetts #Roadtrip #Adventure #Explore #Poem #Poetry #EmilyDickinson #WomenAuthors #Museum #ClassicLiterature #Literature #Books #Bookish #Bookstagram #OrangeChairClassics #TheOrangeChair
