Happy, Happy Hump Day!!
Spring is in the air and I'm super stoked with all the great sunny weather we are having here on Long Island. You know, with Mother's Day this Sunday, I wanted to do something very enjoyable. But, unfortunately, what I want to do, my kids are giving me a hard time. I wanted to go Bird Watching at Wave Park, in The Bronx. When I told my girls what I was thinking, you would have thought I suggested getting beat up or jumping off a cliff. Well, the way I look at it, it's still my day and I get to pick. They will have to grin and bear it. We have plans to visit Aunt Ro in the afternoon for a mid-day meal, which would be an ideal way to top off a morning out in nature! I'll let you know how it all plays out.
This morning I'm writing to you from my parents' house. I dropped the kids off at school and then headed over to hang with Dad and enjoy a little father-daughter bonding time.
My plan was to eat breakfast together and chat. Well, he's still sleeping lol. Trying to fight this disease, plus, the pain medication, he is very tired, in general. I thought I would catch up on writing while he snoozes. As I'm sitting here, amidst the sound of the ocean waves on Alexa and the calming scent of the frankincense oil, it reminded me of a great article I came across from The Discoverer Blog, 5 Wellness Retreats That Will Spring Clean Your Soul
All too often, we wait until we are either sick or so mentally, physically and spiritually depleted before we pamper ourselves with healing rituals that rejuvenate us. A visit to a wellness retreat is amazingly good for the soul!
Have you thought about going on a retreat to a spa lately? Well, check out these five destinations for wellness around the globe, detailed by author, Rashmi Chugani. read more...
I think I'll head out for a nice, long walk now!
Enjoy the day and treat yourself well! -Travelin' Elisa xoxo |
A whirlwind visit to Miami
Hey guys! I'm actually coming at you from Dallas!
SAY WHAT?!?! Wasn't I just in Miami yesterday and NYC right before that and Pittsburgh and St. Louis and Indianapolis and Denver all last week... Yes the list is getting kinda crazy.
AND by this weekend I will have been to all four corners of the USA within under a week!
I'm a planner by nature and this has all been pretty last minute for me. It's a great ride - life that is, I'm just along for the ride and I'm going to enjoy it! With that being said, I have so much to tell you about yesterday in Miami and to explain to you why I'm now in Dallas. The plan is to be back in the OC this afternoon, feels as though I have been gone much longer than I actually have been (seems this way because my days and nights usually equate to a several days and even weeks of what most others do and manage to accomplish). PLUS I totally miss the kiddos. Next week should be more mellow - by my standards and then after that I'll be off to Bermuda - countdown in 16 days!! Okay now with all of that being said, I will fill you in on the scoop in a few hours. It's definitely a crazy one that you are not gonna want to miss!! Outta here for now, -Travelin' Tanya |
