A Change of Scenery
It’s only February, and I’m already manifesting my way through my 2016 intuitive vision board. This time, I took its soul advice for a change of scenery and spent 4 days at my friend Victoria’s in Spaniards Bay, a little less than an hour from St. John’s.
I love road trips. I’m constantly gasping at the beauty (sometimes a bit alarming for the driver).
But since I’ve chosen not to have my own car, I don’t get out of town much – especially if I’m focused on work as much as I was in 2015.
So Victoria came to get me, and we spent a lovely 4 days driving around taking pictures, socializing, eating, and getting to know each other and her 4 fur-babies better. It was great!
I first met Victoria in an art class I taught back in 2011. She’s taken almost every one since. She was also instrumental in helping me raise funds for my Vienna Art Scholarship Fund.
I felt right at home in her new house. Plus it was thrilling to see so much of her artwork live. She’s not only thriving with intuitive painting, but creating wonderful figurines and mixed media hooked pieces on slate. Click here to visit her FB Page.
I came home with a closer friendship, lots of new photos, a few extra pounds, work in a new gallery, some cute kitten scratches (the kittens were cute, not the scratches), and all the benefits of recreation.
So there you have it. By traveling only 50 minutes away, it was a complete change of scenery. What a blessing in so many ways! Thanks Victoria!
You don’t have to go far to play tourist.

Nothing better than a road trip around Newfoundland Dominique 🙂 With all we complain about living here sometimes, you cannot beat its beauty! These are wonderful images and certainly capture the essence of the Spaniards bay area 🙂
Thanks Sandy – I was about to say I’ve never complained about living here, but that’s a lie. I may have complained about snowy sidewalks and the lack of organic produce variety… but I’m soooo grateful to be living on this island. I love thee Newfoundland!
