RETREAT FOR WOMEN: ARE YOU READY TO BLOOM INTO YOUR RICH LIFE? 
Join us for a very special Retreat for Women taking place. Take a whole day for YOU--unplug and spend an illuminating, life-changing day. We will revitalize your spirit, reveal your inner truths, spark your creative problem-solving skills, and access your playful self, giving you laser focus on your goals and dreams. We will help you to design the garden of your dreams for the rest of 2017 and beyond, that will flourish, multiply, and nourish your body/mind/spirit/heart/money. You will also be creating personal SoulCollage® Cards to reveal your wise woman as a guide for building your rich life. We will also enjoy a luxurious lunch (hopefully outside on the patio) at the Inn with special musical entertainment. You will leave this Retreat with a roadmap for your personal, professional, creative, and self-care goals, as well as a gift bag of self-nurturing goodies and new friends.

We finally have green everywhere in Boston now! I am just back from NYC with Rusty, where we attended a photo review event, which was amazing! There were so many great opportunities presented to us that our heads nearly exploded. Creative adventures rock! As we Northerners emerge from our winter caves, this lush green growth that just popped serves as a powerful metaphor for cultivating Great Ideas and translating them into some green cash! This month my article is about choosing your best Great Ideas to plant this spring and an invitation to a special live event that ensures that you clarify and actualize the paths to your unique Rich Life of abundance and joy! Come and join the celebration! 

Rusty and I finally got to Cape Cod and enjoyed a weekend of chilly, but glorious weather. The landscapes are simply stunning. Every year, Cape Cod casts a spell on me and I fall passionately in love with the beaches, the windy roads, the flowers, and the stillness all over again. Rusty discovered this row of iris's not far from us and he kept going back to photograph them in all kinds of lighting. I finally had to see them myself and took a few close-up photo's on my iPhone to inspire a watercolor painting later. This Poster shot shows Rusty's gift for working a scene until it pops.

Rusty and I explored some new back roads on the Lower Cape Cod elbow. We started out looking for the Honeysuckle Trail in the 2014 Guidebook which was supposed to lead to a bird sanctuary on a pond. We found it finally, but it was a poison ivy oasis, and going on prednisone again this year was something we were trying to avoid. A bit bewildered, we explored the whole area to make sure that we had the right trail and we did. We left feeling disappointed and a bit irritated that this highly publicized trail was a bust.
