Artisans: Taking the Care of the Soul in Niagara-on-the Lake

"Well being come from inside reflecting outwards"
Hello Everyone!


Well we are enjoying the cooler days in August now.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Niagara-on-the Lake for a quick over night stay.

As artisans we are always creating and working to make that project into reality, for our for our clients, friends or family alike.

We often need to have a 'break' for our souls to remain in harmony with ourselves; to bring rekindle that reviving energy.  From time to time we need to 'honour' that by being good to ourselves.  A very wise nun said to me once "In order to be a good servant we must be a good servant to ourselves". That ultimately means taking care of body, mind and spirit, listening innately to that voice within often referred to the intuition.    Artisan's come from a broad spectrum of genres, whether we define ourselves as: jewellers, photography, writers, poets or somewhere in between. We often call this intuition, and women need to pay particular attention to this, I'm speaking from first hand experience..

We (my friends and I) I decided to escape for a couple of days to the picturesque area known as Niagara-on-the Lake. We stayed at a delightful B&B "La Toscana di Carlotta" a known as the."Burns House one of the oldest homes in Niagara-on-the-Lake, whose deed dates back to 1793".  http://www.latoscanadicarlotta.com
Here you experience all the elements: hospitality, charming ambient surroundings, culinary delights, that is so wonderful for the soul. To take this one step further, do drop into the main town and visit the best Italian Gelato here: http://www.gelatodicarlotta.com/find-your-flavour/ .  I choose the dark chocolate orange, an array of fabulous characteristic of a fine wine, dancing on the palate, with the squeal of delight you often visited as a delight as a child ("Unbearable Sweetness").   We also visited a couple of wineries, that rounded our our stay with high notes of pleasure. http://www.colaneriwines.com/ .

Wherever you live or what gives you pleasure, short or longer stay be good to "YOUR SOUL" she will thank you.  Remember the values: of the family, friends and our beloved pets, that often enrich us, This often gives us so much creativity and inspiration for the work we love to do so much, and share!!!!
