How far away are you willing to drive for your #SneakAwaySunday ? My radius extends to no more than an hour away or else I am spending my sneak away on the road instead of rejuvenating. You have to decide what's right for you. Today I'm sticking close to home. In fact, I can't get any closer as my sneak away location today is my own house. Say what?! That's right, you heard me. I'm sneaking away while staying home today. Great news! You can too (as long as the family will cooperate with you). Your sneak away space in your home depends on your home! I've seen posts about people forsaking a large walk in closet for storage purposes and create it to be a sneak away space. Not everyone has that luxury. I certainly don't. I have an area in our living room that I've kind of taken over. It's got a recliner. I've set up next to it a basket that has some essentials - earbuds, some chocolate, etc. Then I've got a TV tray set up that ...

How far away are you willing to drive for your #SneakAwaySunday ? My radius extends to no more than an hour away or else I am spending my sneak away on the road instead of rejuvenating. You have to decide what's right for you. I love wandering a place filled with books - library or bookstore. I love taking my time going through the aisles of some store that I rarely get to go to. Sometimes I sneak away to public places where I can still be by myself. But, for me, they have to be places that I am 99.9% sure nobody I know is going to show up or I'm going to run into. Something about being on a sneak away but surrounded by people I don't need to interact with serves the need to renew from time to time. Plus, I get creative ideas depending on the store I wander through, or I add books to my ever growing to-read list. If I'm in a bookstore or library chances are good I'll find a place to sit and I'll read for awhile. I'll treat myself to somethin...

How far away are you willing to drive for your #SneakAwaySunday? My radius extends to no more than an hour away or else I am spending my sneak away on the road instead of rejuvenating. You have to decide what's right for you. Today I'm headed to a favorite outdoor spot. Yes, you heard me right - I have a favorite outdoor spot or two. This is a time of year where I don't mind being outdoors during the daylight hours. Now, let's not go crazy - I'm still finding shade to sit in. But today seems like a great day to hang outside for some fresh air and some soul renewal. Depending on how many other people might be around this outdoor space I go to I may or may not pop in my earbuds. If there aren't people around I'll keep them out to keep myself in tune to the nature noises that are around - especially if I go to the place that has running water. Running water is one of the best sounds, I find it incredibly soothing and peaceful.  When I get...

How far away are you willing to drive for your #SneakAwaySunday? My radius extends to no more than an hour away or else I am spending my sneak away on the road instead of rejuvenating. You have to decide what's right for you. Within my radius I pick a coffee house, almost always locally owned, that seems to be large enough to have niches and corners for people like me to hide in. And then I get there as fast as I can! I pop in my earbuds, put on some music for white noise, and read/write or whatever it is that I need. I drink yummy things - and depending on what's there, eat some yummy things. And I stay hidden away for as long as I can, because I know when I go back to life it's back to the grind. Today I've got plans to head to one of my favorite coffee house spots for a sneak away. Don't take this the wrong way but I hope I don't see you there! *wink*

There's something about sneaking away that gives me a little lift, how about you? I have my little spots around my hometown that I use as my sneak aways. And no, I'm not disclosing them. *wink* I try to choose my spots where I think nobody else will show up, of course that's never a guarantee.  I'm not willing to disclose my spots *grin* but I am willing to share with you ideas based off of them - just in case you haven't been able to come up with any of your own.  Today I'll share with you some must-haves for your #SneakAwaySundays in the future.  Of course, depending on where you sneak away to will depend on what you might take but I recommend the following no matter where you land.  Reading Material - a book, a magazine, or both Spending money Pen & Paper - you never know when you'll be struck with inspiration Earbuds/phones Water Stay hydrated
