It's like sending your creative juices on a spiritual retreat

Every August I return from my vacation and write a blog post about how inspiring it is to be smack in the middle of natural beauty.  And this year I feel the same way.  

In addition to the inspiring setting of Wellfleet where nature feeds my creative side with colors across the rainbow...

Chef Michael Ceraldi

And of course there was the annual grouping of all 25 members of my family so lots of time to catch up with loved ones.

I hate to admit this but my brain feels a bit like jelly and I truly am moving like a snail but I am telling myself that is the sign of a truly relaxing vacation!
