If the number of days between blog posts hasn't made it clear, this has been a crazy summer. Trying to catch a creative spark amid tightly scheduled days has been a challenge.

Last January, when Holiday Vacations invited me to host a tour to Scotland and Northern Ireland, the actual trip was months away.

The week before Labor Day, we took what is becoming our annual pilgrimage to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I know I shared photos and a video last year, but please bear with me as I abandon all social skills and share more this year without even asking if you're interested. It's the light that…
