Hi everyone! Today, I'm very excited to be able to participate in The Entangled Blog Tour! I had the opportunity to ask the two authors one question so here's my little Q&A with Danielle and Shannon!!
In Lola Carlyle's
12-Step Romance, Lola does some healing in a rehab facility and in Awakening,
Desiree finds rest in the Dreamscape - Is there a place like that
for you too? Where do you think, is a universal place for someone to find peace
and quiet?
If I can get to a
quiet lake, that does it for me. My parents have a cottage on a small lake in
Muskoka and just the sight of the lake soothes me. Even thinking about it
soothes me! And when I’m there, I find I can get quiet inside—like the Quiet
Place they’re always telling Lola about in rehab!
As much as I want
to believe chocolate is the solution for everything, I think the real universal
healer/calmer is nature. It could be a lake, the ocean, a forest…whatever helps
you disconnect from our every day insanity. There are studies about how nature
sounds like birds chirping can calm the nervous system, so it’s scientific as
well as anecdotal.
I want to say,
also, that you don’t have to be an official “nature person”—ie someone who
camps and canoes and hikes, et cetera, to benefit from nature. I am a city girl
and a homebody, and admittedly wimpy about bugs and not keen on seeing too much
wildlife up close. (Not excited to see a bear, in other words.) Sometimes I
have to push my self to get outside and just breathe the air, but once I do
it’s so worth it.
There’s definitely that place for me and it’s the beach. I spend a lot of time in Florida, and on most days, I walk the beach. I love the sounds of nature, the soft rolling waves, and the sandpipers and other wild life frolicking on the sand while the sun warms my skin. It’s so peaceful and it’s really my happy place where I can just be.
I think for each person it can be different though. Everyone finds their own solitude or happy place in their own way and that’s cool. It’s what makes us unique. I will say that I definitely wish I had a Dreamscape machine. I have trouble falling asleep a lot, so it would be sooo awesome to be gently lulled to sleep with the promise of only pleasant dreams.
Those sound like perfect places to relax and just read! Thank you Danielle and Shannon for answering my question today~ Continue on to read my reviews :D
