5 Places to Clear Your Mind on North Shore LI

1. Camusett State Historic Park.

Located in Lloyd Harbor, Camusett is a beautiful place to take a morning walk or to have your afternoon picnic. The park attracts walkers, runners, bikers, and even horseback riders to take advantage of its beautiful grounds and trails. One trail even leads to a beach with beautiful views.

2. Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park.

In Oyster Bay, Teddy Roosevelt Park is the perfect place for people to come and go to the beach during the day, and watch the sunset at night. The park has the Waterfront Center, which offers visitors the chance to rent paddle boards and kayaks. In addition, the beach is adjacent to a sports fields that allows people to have the chance to be both active and relaxed all within a few feet from each other.

3. Cold Spring Harbor Hiking Trail.

This hiking trail is a favorite of mine on an early summer morning. The views of the bay are beautiful as you trek uphill. The trails are flooded with runners and hikers with their dogs on any given day. The trail really takes a beautiful place and makes its visitors exercise to truly appreciate Cold Spring Harbor's beauty.

4. Wayville Beach.

Bayville is a little gem on Long Island that gives visitors beautiful beach days that are followed by stunning sunsets. The beach is never too crowded, giving visitors a serene experience.

5. Stillwell Park.

Located in Syosset, Stillwell is the perfect place for any runner or biker. The trails are long but nice for early morning runners to lose themselves in nature. Stillwell is home to many soccer and baseball fields that are sometimes open for anyone's use.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
