In 1995 I did The Artist's Way. It's a 12-week course you do yourself to clear your own inner blocks. Whatever it is you want to do, but somehow can't get there, this is a great course to help you. It's written for artists, but I used it to find the courage to quit my job and start my own private practice. One of the assignments was an artist's date. Every week you take yourself on an artist's date. That could be as simple as getting yourself a nice cup of coffee or taking off on an adventurous road trip for the day. My practice started in 1996 and I continue doing what I love......28 years!

Scenic drives and great places to stop. Outlined below are a collection of trips recommending Route 100. However! What we love to do every fall is get in the car and just go, taking right and left turns on a whim. Some of our best times and best discoveries are found this way.

Next to Main & Mountain, across the street from HomeStyle Hostel I found this cool little art gallery that sells everything from all natural skin care products to jewelry to photographs & paintings.
Every year my friend and I get into the car to explore Vermont. The rule is that we have no planned route. We simply point and turn at will. Wherever we end up at dinner time we stop and eat. After dinner we head straight home with the fastest route. We ended up in Tinmouth, Wells, Ira, and Middletown Springs, Vermont. This year we added the requirement that the trip has to involve an antique store.
