Even Wonder Woman Needs a Break

                                      Wanderlust was reaching up into my heart and pulling it's strings..

                    My Husband felt it too.

someone needs a massage
We took the kids out in our motorcycle/sidecar rig and headed out.
I got tense and scrunched up in the shoulders just thinking about this trip..

Then I saw a license plate, that said "CHILHNY3"
Now I'm not sure what that really meant but I saw
"Chiiillllll Honey with those 3 Kids"
The next hour into the ride I saw "INTHFLW"
Awesome.




Ferry Ride was fun for the little guys as we headed to CT:

Chasing my 2 year old up and down the stairs of the ship...

So much snacking, that no one was hungry when we finally got to a restaurant..

All the kids got the sillies at the table and a drink landed right in my lap.

Indoor pool late at night then off to bed.

I knew  I was off my game. 


But maybe this hotel was a bit too "stuffy" for our boys..pursed lips on strangers were everywhere...
My sweet guy didn't even bat an eye when I told him I wanted to go home.


We returned home and I was in a funk.

In the morning I went out to my garden..
the lavender was beckoning.
Usually my roses are winking at me
to come fill my face with their scent..

But the lavender spoke to me..come closer..



A nose full of this familiar scent, and a short rest among the bees, and I had an idea.

"Lets take the truck and Go to Hershey Park."

Off we went.

Rolling Hills, cows on the countryside...Crackerbarrel Rockingchairs... It was a fun journey..The Hotel had lots of noisy kids having fun..No pursed lips anywhere.
       
  







 I guess i'm that girl who wants a rollercoaster to shake me up once in a while..and....I love watching my man eat ice cream, hearing my kids laughing, carnie food, and chocolate.

I got on the 'WildCat' with my 9 year old son..
It was his first 'real coaster', and I was so excited to be on it with him.
We got in the very first car.
He screamed at the second descent, "I feel SO Aliiive!"
I cracked up laughing so hard until I felt alive again too.

Fresh perspectives rock.
What do you do to shift your perspective when you're off your game?

Guest Blog- "The Goddess Within" by Sister Goddess Rita

Image
Hello All! Here is a post by our Lovely Rita...        This past spring, I took an amazing class called  “ The Goddess Experience ”. At the start of the class our instructor held a Quartz Crystal in her hand & introduced herself as Goddess Jess. She shared with us that we were going to have the opportunity to boast, share what we were grateful for, as well as any desires we have. She then told us that we were to introduce ourselves as “Goddess ____.” This in and of itself made me giggle, never mind actually SAYING I was a Goddess. How could I say I was a Goddess? How could I BE a Goddess?? That first time introducing myself as a Goddess (which was extremely difficult) was just a brief encounter of The Goddess Within…

An Exercise in Surrender

     Sunday, a handful of brave ladies, ready to show a photographer (named Isis!) their inner goddess, arrived at the shoppe early afternoon.  I knew exactly what I wanted to present to the camera that day, a purely professional website-worthy image..and ended up completly submitting to the suitcases of fun 'costumes' presented to us.      The name of the company is called "For Them or For You Photography" and the line between who these photos were for became more and more blurry for me as the day went on.  The photo below is a hint at what ended up on film..Each woman took some time perusing all the frills and props, and created a lovely landscape of beauty , for their individual shoots. I was so impressed with the level of trust and willingness to enjoy the experience from everyone.... and what eye-candy they all were..I took some cute photos, like these, and can't wait to see the "real images" when the photographer...
