When in Woodstock...

Vermont is a magical kingdom: local shops, fresh maple syrup, clear blue skies, and crisp mountain air... Despite my aversion to the bleak midwinter, I would not say no to moving northward.

How to Treat Yourself to a Perfect Day When All Your Other Plans Go Awry

Recently, a trip that I planned fell through at the last minute.  The weekend I had scheduled was going to be relaxing and meditative: it would have provided the space to get away and heal.  But I had postponed finalizing certain details and at the last minute plans for my accommodations went awry.

The Barnard Inn in Barnard, Vermont

Barnard, Vermont is a true summerland.  From its lakeside beaches punctuated by campfire pits to the hiking trails that weave up over the crests of leaves of green, there are soul inspiring views in every direction.

Wine Along the River

This summer, I took two separate trips to central Vermont.  One to Woodstock and one to the Bethel/Barnard area.  My second visit coincided with one of my best friend's birthdays, so I brought her with me.  I run the social media accounts of the hotel at which we stayed, 506 On The River Inn.

Babies and Blessings

I recently attended the blessing of my friend's baby, Holly.  The reception, which was held in New Jersey, was filled with flowers, love, and a precisely decorated cake.  This little girl is definitely appreciated.
