I spent 10 days in Venice, Florida on a personalized writing retreat. My days consisted of journaling in the morning, yoga on the beach, a 2-mile long hike from Venice Beach to Casperson Beach.
I had lunch consisting of couscous, fruits and an avocado on the beach every day. In the afternoon I took a hike through the mini dunes to Sharky’s Pier and watched for dolphins. En route I chatted with a painter professional artist from New Jersey, took photos for other people and watched the

fishermen.
Then I had a Deck Runner, and went back to meditating in the dunes by the Gulf.

I recommend a regular retreat to all for a deeper understanding of the world we live in, reconnecting with nature and mainly with ourselves.
I now have new ideas for my living short story collection “Glass Flowers, “as well as new dynamics for “Greenwich Meridian.”

I’ll write about that in my next post.
