Picture Writing Perfect

I am continually amazed by the beauty of nature. N.J. takes such a bad rap for being remembered by your first view of flying into Newark or New York airports and seeing the turnpike ahead of you.  I had planned writing in Montenegro and Capri this summer for another novel I am working on... that trip is happening in September and I know I will be inspired by the beauty of both those places but for now I couldn't ask for more natural beauty than Cape May. I feel so blessed to experience such interesting places in the world. The multicultural staff at the Ocean Club make me feel as if I am staying in an exotic resort getaway; a secret place of beauty and inspiration that is a rare find.

It was such a pleasant surprise to have this source of inspiration all around me, every moment I am here.  Today I am meeting with a realtor, having dinner with a new friend who has invited me to teach at her spiritual retreat at the Ocean Club in October.... and dancing the night away with the resident Dance Champion, Tom Cupp. Tom is one of the best ballroom instructors I have ever had with his ability to teach something and change it up until you as the student "gets it."  He also has a wicked sense of humor, quick wit and makes a lesson so much fun, you don't realize how hard you are working.
Spirituality and dance are definitely some of the "stuff" that inspires my writing and I am so excited to have found it in Cape May.  I have a feeling, I will be part of this sleepy (in a lovely way) seaside town forever now that its salt water flows through my veins.
