We all have things that we want to escape, and our views of how to do this vary. This week Cheri Lucas Rowlands is challenging us to show how we escape. Lately my escape is appreciating the beauty around me. Can’t wait to see and/ or hear how you escape!

Freshly planted.

Capturing the sea spray made me happy and grateful. “Lucky I live Hawaii.”
