October’s Muse

Fall is definitely in the air in southwestern Colorado! The Halloween decorations are going up, the leaves are colorful and falling, and the nights are getting cooler. Some of Colorado’s peaks have even seen snow! Now is the time to let yourself dream. If money were no object and you had as much time as you wanted, where would you go? Why would you go there? What would you do? Who would you meet?

I’m a big believer in writing fantasy journals. I look at Google Flights, check airfares, and then pretend-journal about the trip. Try it yourself. Write about where you’d stay, what you’d eat, and how it would feel to be there. Create a Pinterest board or save locations on Google Maps. Explore travel blogs or watch videos of your dream destination. The more you let your imagination wander, the clearer your dream becomes. Often, that clarity is all it takes to set real plans in motion.
