In the footsteps of Lucy Maud Montgomery at Green Gables

Ойын-сауық

Walking in the footsteps of Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables was a dream come true, and what I experienced towards the end of my journey at her house in Cavendish was unbelievable. I still don’t know, did it actually happen? Or was it my imagination running wild like her fictional character Anne Shirley? I am certain we are “kindred spirits.”
Come with me as we talk about imagination and visit The Green Gables Heritage Centre. We’ll follow the Haunted Trail to the place of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Cavendish home in Prince Edward Island, called the Macneill Homestead. The Macneill’s were her maternal grandparents who raised her. And I met her wonderful cousin John Ross Macneill at the bookstore museum here. You will too.
This is where Maud wrote her first four books beginning with Anne of Green Gables in 1905, publication date 1908.
As a huge Lucy Maud Montgomery fan this was an enormously moving experience. I’d been dreaming of and imagining visiting this place for many years. And what was even more moving was my experience there.
I hope you enjoy this video. If you did, please give it a thumbs up.
In a future video we’ll talk about what Lucy Maud Montgomery called “The Flash.” It’s super interesting and she’s not the only great creator to have experienced it.
I finally made it. Here’s a link to that video • How to find the Flash ...

    Ohh my I can't believe I've missed this video until now! I'm so sorry Alegria! How I've missed your voice, it almost makes me teary-eyed listening to you again. And what a story you've shared with us! I've never watched or read Anne of Green Gables though I've heard a lot about it. And after watching your video I feel a calling to read Lucys books. The buildings and surroundings are so beautiful and well preserved. I can relate very much to you being so happy seeing all those things from your favorite characters, yet they aren't really there. That tells how good of a story it is, and I loved to hear your excitement. I believe your story to be true an fully possible. I've only had a handful of those kind of experiences myself but God do I know that it wasn't only in my imagination. There's little I'm as sure about as that. Thank you for taking us with you Alegria, I'm so happy you're back! Can't wait for your next magical story! Much love to you.

    Awww Frederike thank you! And no need to apologize at all. I haven’t been around much, life…but I do have a new video coming up this weekend. And this time I really mean it. 😆 Sometimes I say it, and it just doesn’t get done. But my intentions are always there. And yes, I do think you’ll love LMM’s books. Beyond that her life story really fascinates me. Let me know if you do happen to read any of her books. And yes, you’re right, I’m certain it wasn’t my imagination. I’m now looking forward to watching your video. Just saw it come up in my feed. Thanks for your beautiful message Frederike. Have a wonderful weekend. Chat soon. 🤗💕🌸

    My dear Alegria, I'm so happy I saved your video for when it was a quiet morning for me with a cup of coffee. I have my notification on for your videos & always watched them as soon as I get the notification. However, for some reason, I sensed I had to watch it when it was not hectic around me. What an incredible experience you encountered. I heard it in your voice, the sense of joy. You were meant to be there at that moment & for the Governor of Practicality to sit it. Truly inspiring, beautiful video. Bravo. By the way, I found his title adorable. I, too, have one however, the title for mine guy is Minister of Common Sense. Bravo Alegria.

It’s so necessary that our surroundings mirror how we feel and that we watch or read meaningful things when we can focus on them. I too wait until I have quiet moments to enjoy things that are special to me. And knowing you did that brings me such joy. Thank you for caring! And yes, I laughed when I read about your Minister of Common Sense, hahahaha. We all have one don’t we. That’s just too funny. I’m so glad you enjoyed my video my friend.

    Ohhhh my goodness Alegria! Kindred spirits!! We were totally born in the wrong era!! 😅 Wow!! The Anne of Green Gables house! How gorgeous…….. what a special day, the meadow flowers, the beautiful house, the atmosphere of just “being” in that space & feeling it would have been AMAZING!! So special for you to have that connection my dear friend! And well done Mr Practicality for being a good sport and opting for a relaxing seat to take it all in. I had a very similar experience when I was in Amsterdam afew years ago and I went to the Anne Frank museum. To walk where she walked, to feel the room she hid in during the war…. To see her diaries in the flesh…… So powerful! When you have these moments of connection to really meaningful books and people who’ve inspired you, it is so powerful! I am so happy for you beautiful one, that you had that moment, that experience and it gave you so much joy!!!! 💓👏💓 thanks so much for taking us along and sharing such a beautiful moment in your life :):) can’t wait to hear part 2!

Isn’t it incredible to stop and feel the full energy of the place? I always love that, though my encounter there by her Cavendish homestead still gives me goosebumps, but perhaps it was just my imagination. Who knows. What I do know, is it was a truly wonderful and meaningful experience. Thank you so much for being here every time and sharing your beautiful messages with me.
