Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ More than likely as you read this post… I will be on the road to my annual women’s retreat. Surprisingly this will mark the 12th year attending this particular retreat.  My how the years go by. There are many reasons why I plan these retreat days.  It’s a time of quiet contemplation, and getting refreshed ~ physically, mentally, and spiritually.  Of course the most important one being the experience of adventure. Because, to me the greatest adventure in life is the adventure of going within.  This weekend away allows me the luxury, and opportunity to return back to the task at hand and meet my insides again….sigh… Well….so how was your January? One month down, and eleven to go until another year has passed. Being that I’m in the … Continue reading →

How’s everything going… There’s been some serious channeling of the inner gypsy on this side of the screen… It’s been about a week since my last post. However, it really feels like   many moods moons ago…                                       Well, at least for me.  It’s sure been an adventurous week …                                       *I’ve said good-bye to a few more pieces of furniture.                       … Continue reading →

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Happpppppy Wednesday! How’s your week  going? Anything exciting happening… I’ve missed you…  so, I thought I’d drop a quick post….that’s some of the fun of being a free spirit, and blogger, you can just sort of pop in whenever the mood strikes…and hope that there’s someone out there. .. (grin) Well, okay I’ve got to share an aha moment I recently had. L.I.F.E. and all that it brings  is an exciting adventure. I know that might sound a little sweet, and corny…but oh well.                              It doesn’t matter if we haven’t gone on a luxurious vacation recently…  Maybe it’s been years. ( or never) It might even be that we have been thinking that NOTHING … Continue reading →

Well, okay the first 10 days of January have already gone by… and let’s see what I have to show for it. Ha! Ha! I’m going to start off right away admitting that I missed watching Downton Abbey premiere of Season 5…thank goodness for re-runs!  I do have some interesting excuses though. First of all, I have so many friends that kept inviting me to go out and have lunch.  And, then there was lots going on here at the cottage…I had … Continue reading →
