🌳 Walk Down The Path Less Traveled At These Underrated Ohio Parks

Sponsored by The JuntoThe newest addition to Franklinton is The Junto, an independent lifestyle hotel and modern-day β€˜club for mutual improvement,’ where people from all backgrounds can come together to discuss issues and ideas of the time.  If, like me, you think this would be an epic place to enjoy a little staycation, you're in luck. The hotel has a special 'Locals Only' package complete with 15% off guest rooms and complimentary parking. The Junto is expected to open Memorial Day weekend. For more info, or to book your stay, please visit thejuntohotel.com. πŸ˜

Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, my friends. I hope you all had a marvelous weekend full of lots of fun and maybe a little mischief. I've never been a big fan of Mondays, but it's something I'm trying to get better about as I get older. It feels silly to waste an entire day by resenting its existence, so instead, I've started using the dreaded start of the week to really focus on the kind of mindfulness that will sustain me. And that mindfulness almost always involves nature. It's incredibly healing to spend time in the great outdoors, and if you've been on the hunt for a peaceful spot, we've got some suggestions.
