My Weekend Getaway to Beautiful Hocking Hills Ohio
After all the craziness of last year, I was ready to get away, be away from civilization and all human beings, indulge in some inner reflection, and just relax and be happy!

So what did I do? I booked a secluded cabin in the woods from Air BnB, packed up my car, grabbed my dog, and took off for the weekend! The only plan? Do some soul searching, spend time with Rocco, and BE HAPPY!

My Air BnB was a gorgeous little cabin that was nestled in the woods, away from civilization, but only miles away from all the caves and hiking paths.

It included a beautiful wood burning fireplace that I made great use of (is there a better place to sit and contemplate life than in front of a blazing fire? I think not!), an adorable little bedroom with a super comfy bed, and an outdoor hot tub that I made even better use of!

While on my journey of inner reflection and practicing some serious self care, I made sure I had the most wonderful food and drinks available! Vegan cheese with crusty bread, and a freshly made salad complete with homemade croutons, and some pink champagne, started my Friday night out right!

Saturday night I made the most delicious fresh pasta sauce from scratch, with red wine in it (and on the side of course!).

And all the hot black coffee every morning!

What's a trip to Hocking Hills without some hiking and adventuring?!
The cold did not deter us from having the most amazing hiking experience (hello 18 degrees!). As long as we kept moving the cold didn't get to us. For two hours we hiked lots of different trails and saw so much!

Rocco had the absolute time of his life! He was running around, jumping up on everything, and exploring everything he could! He was definitely in his element.

Spending time alone in Mother Nature is a terrific way to reconnect to self, and it was exactly what I needed.

While on my weekend getaway to beautiful Hocking Hills, I had a lot of time to think, meditate, and to also clear my mind and just be. When you do all of this, it opens you up to receiving messages you need to hear, and give you insight into things you don't normally think about, because we are always so busy filling our lives with distractions, that we don't have time to hear it. I had a lot of great realizations and thoughts that I am keeping private, but the main one, is that I am happy! I felt truly happy, for the first time in a while.
Yes, my mind might still tell me that I am a failure and a quitter, but it's kind of hard to listen to that when you are feeling this happy! I know there is still hard times ahead, and I will still have times of feeling overwhelmingly sad, but it is so much easier to get through all of that when you know that your life is headed in the right direction, and you are HAPPY!
