Just kidding. But they ran an article yesterday on the beauty of Northern Michigan in the summer, just one day after I published my own travelogue on Mackinac Island right here on the blog. So if you want to read about what Michigan has to offer from the perspective of a real reporter, check it [...]

The Magic of Mackinac

Despite having grown up only 60 miles as the crow flies from Mackinac Island (pronounced Mackinaw), I have never seen the cult-classic movie Somewhere in Time, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, that was filmed there in the eighties. However, the feeling of having stepped “somewhere” back in time is precisely what you get when [...]

I am pleased to report we came home from our whirlwind Ohio/Michigan vacation in great spirits after having enjoyed some of the most spectacular summer weather Northern Michigan has to offer. While the weather Gods smiled upon us, the kids spent hours swimming, fishing, boating and just plain mucking around in the lakes. I adore [...]

It’s easy to be grateful when you’re on vacation. Especially when everything is going smoothly and everyone is having fun. We’ve had great visits with family and friends, stomach-dropping rides at Cedar Point, a glimpse of the remodeled Big House in Ann Arbor, and fantastic weather for lounging and playing on Opal Lake. Hopefully Phil [...]

Remember my post from about a week ago about boosting creative energy by looking at life from different perspectives and avoiding the “numb zone”? Well, not wanting to be one of those “do as I say” people, I decided to put my life where my mouth is. Here is a short video of me riding [...]
On the Road Again

Blog posts have been sparse, I know. Believe me, I would love to be writing more. I am just FULL of things to write about but no time or much Internet access. (I am holed up in my Aunt’s attic office as I write this). We left Colorado on Friday morning for a whirlwind tour [...]
Get out of the “Numb Zone”

Another fabulous presenter during my week at Rancho la Puerta talked about rediscovering the magic and wonder of life and channeling that wonder into creative energy. Leslie McGuirk — artist, children’s book author (serendipity anyone?), and creativity evangelist — conducted a series of workshops entitled, “The Quest for Inspiration.” Leslie argues that every person is [...]

I mentioned in one of last week’s post that Rancho la Puerta‘s presenters were all in some way focused on enhancing creativity and living fulfilling, authentic lives. If you were to put the theme for the week in Oprah’s terms, it would be “Live Your Best Life.” All of the presenters were fabulous, including one [...]

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, including my husband, who is an amazing father. To my own dad, know how very much I love and miss you. I am grateful for the best week I’ve ever had at Rancho la Puerta (and believe me when I tell you it’s impossible to have [...]
Flower Power
Posted in Spirituality, Travel, tagged Rancho la Puerta, Spirituality, Travel on June 17, 2010 | Comments Off
Here at Rancho la Puerta, inspiration comes from all sides, everywhere. Possibilities are endless, yet the whole world can be condensed in a single flower. That flower holds the mysteries of life. That flower is the beacon that brings us back to this place time and again. One day, I will bring that flower home [...]
