Artist’s Date: Flower & Garden Show

dream-retreatThe Artist’s Way:  A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity:  A Course in Discovering and Recovering Your Creative Self by Julia Cameron is a fabulous book and a 12-week fantastic experience.  I’ve done the course twice.  At the end of my first course, the other participants created a protection circle for me.  It was a life-altering experience to be in the middle of the circle surrounded by the strength of unconditional love and powerful prayers.

Artist’s Date: Lavender Festival in Sequim, WA

Cedarbrook's BikeSequim (pronounced “skwim”) has become a retirees haven.  The Olympic Mountains create a rain shadow microclimate which keeps Sequim perpetually sunny and the perfect place to grow lavender.  The climate is similar to that of Provence.  To see more photos from my trip, click here.
