Ever experience a creative block? I do and freque

Ever experience a creative block?

I do and frequently. As a writer and photographer it’s my job to be creative but there are days it’s not there.

It’s taken me a while to accept that this is ok.

To break the “not-so-creative mood” I look back through old photographs and videos to spark some inspiration.

I came across this video. It’s peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. It’s pulling me out of my funk. Hopefully it might inspire you as well!

Where to stay in Cherry Creek North Denver? @hote

Where to stay in Cherry Creek North Denver?

@hotelcliocherrycreek is the place because it’s Oh so fancy!

One of my favorite spots in Denver for a few reasons:

* beautiful rooms and suites with killer views of the Front Range

* epic bathrooms that make you feel like a queen

* great location in @cherrycreeknorth putting you in walking distance to everything

* dinner and drinks @torodenver (drink featured is the Casual Encounter)

@hotelcliocherrycreek is featured in this week’s Denver Travels for @303magazine about where to stay for your holiday staycation in Denver.
