Lovers Leap

Lovers Leap in the Eldorado National Forest

It’s time for my annual “unplugged” vacation! I’ll be getting some much needed R&R in the Eldorado National Forest this week. Do you regularly set aside time to step away from your devices? If that’s a struggle, vacation somewhere that doesn’t have WiFi or a cell signal — that’s how I manage to take a break! Take a peek at this Wall Street Journal article if you need some additional tips: The Secret to Disconnecting? Bring Back the ‘Away’ Message

As I write this week’s blog post, I’m already in a vacation frame of mind so I’m going to be brief (this will make some of you very happy)!
