Escaping without escaping
I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "build a life you don't have to escape from" or "take a vacation from" ... basically creating a life that is enjoyable day. We all have 'off days' where you wish you could make a change, or escape, or find a quick solve. There are days when you ...
Escape for a few minutes…
Grab a cup of tea, your favorite coffee or a glass of wine...and settle into your favorite place, that chair in the corner with a blanket and just listen to a little story (in poem fashion). A little escape. An escape for a moment to breathe, let go, and drift into a story. Listen now ...

Being a city dweller, space is a limited but hot commodity. A balcony, a little green patch (that's a yard right?), or dare I say, a roofdeck is everything. It's an escape...an escape from the world - the daily grind - a moment to just let it all melt away. Does that mean turning to suburbia ...
Escape without Escaping
Sometimes you need a little escape from reality. An escape to bring you back to when you were a kid or allow you fill someone else's shoes. It's easy to binge watch and escape into a show or movie, but instead why not take a break from life and digital. Give your eyes a break ...
