We flew from Richmond to Toronto the morning after getting engaged on my birthday and drove north to Muskoka for a snowy three-day escape at JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa. From a four-course fondue dinner in the snow-filled Ice Caves and Valentine’s Day ice skating at Johnston’s Cranberry Marsh to snowshoeing Scenic Caves and a –15°C Crystal Head Vodka Ice Bar tasting, this Canadian winter getaway was equal parts adventure and romance. If you’re looking for the perfect Muskoka winter itinerary, this long weekend guide covers where to stay, what to do, and why we’re already planning our return.

We waited four hours in the cold to witness Buddhist monks walk for peace through Virginia. Rooted in the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh and the Plum Village tradition, this post reflects on walking meditation, presence, and the quiet power of slowing down.

Life on a Virginia homestead during a winter ice storm meant frozen water for the animals, hauling buckets through snow and ice, running on emergency heat, and finding quiet joy snowshoeing our own trails. A real look at winter preparedness, resilience, and rural life.
