The landscapes are alive with every shade of green from unsuspecting rains. We see artists & photographers inspired to capture the mystical beauty. We suddenly want to be outside more with warm sun kissing our skin and to take more time to breathe in the freshness of the air.

It always brings me great joy to see our guests return again and again ~ in Hawaii the word for family is ‘Ohana. That is what my staff feels like to me and how we like our guests to feel.

As we linger & celebrate this glorious time of the year, wherever you are, take a moment every day to be just a little more grateful . Give more hugs & share more laughter…~Faye

What a gorgeous Winter season we have had this year ~ This valley feels so sacred & we who live here, never take it for granted. Every season is beautiful as it gently merges into the next one.

The Inn has brought us many first time to Sonoma guests as well as many of our repeat guests who are so dear to our hearts. We have seen many couples get engaged, celebrate honeymoons, anniversaries, and special birthdays which we get to be part of in some special way.

As the valley is filled with trees flowering and fields of mustard grass getting very high in their brilliant yellow, as the hills are now green, I find myself remembering so many beautiful places I have lived and the season of Spring filling my spirit with a lightness and
deep joy.

Feeling grateful to know that Sonoma is a sacred jewel tucked away from fast pace living ~ after walking the beach for three hours recently & driving roads filled with beauty in the long shadows of late afternoon ~ I am slowing down more to take in the willow trees
with delicate early leaves gently swaying ~ the first bud forming on our favorite rose bush at the Inn ~ every single day I have an amazing staff to thank, people who come to the Inn and appreciate the tranquil energy ~ another day to love & laugh …

One never knows how one incident in your life can change your whole life ~ for me the Garden Tour in 2008 ~ I happened to mention that my husband had passed a few months ago to a man whose wife had passed a few months before my husband . A few weeks later, we are on a 7 hour lunch date ~ so many similarities in our lives and having someone really understand and know your grief and loss and share that healing journey with you. As you get older you just “know” when it is right & for us it was like a renewal of life with laughter and sweetness…We are together since July 2008.

We both felt that our spouses were smiling down on us and we feel so fortunate to have met and cherish every second of our lives with deep love & gratitude. A loving spouse never wants the other to be alone in life. Never give up ~ never say never ~ Believe in joyful hearts finding each other.

The Inn continues to be a sanctuary for lovers of all ages from all over the world.

Forever a Helpless Romantic

This month Hula Mai dancers stayed at the Inn. As I witnessed the powerful chanting and dancing around the fire fountain, I felt such a reverent appreciation for these graceful and remarkable women. The recent rains were so reminiscent of “upcountry” rains on Maui. Our grapevines are dormant in winter ~ yet the vibrant yellows of the mustard grasses are emerging and camelias of every color are in bloom.

It seems every day we welcome many new couples who warm our hearts with their own love stories. As my amazing staff nurtures and cares for them in our sacred & romantic spaces, I can’t imagine anything else I would rather do than having these “deeper connections”.

As we are now in the last week of January, let us be kinder, more generous and of course more grateful.

I feel a deeper connection with community as more people are discovering the tranquil beauty tucked away behind the white stucco walls. Each room has a totally different energy and decor.

We start this year by saving our environment with no more wood burning fires. We have found tea light candle logs which cast a very romantic glow to the rooms and last longer than logs. There are a few rooms with beautiful gas fireplaces. All rooms, except for Tulsi Cottage, are without TV. The only distraction is the person you are with.

We have kept our rates the same as last year and of course guests who stay more than once will receive 20% discount for life! We believe in giving back. As we enjoy the quieter months here, we welcome you to share the quiet beauty of our Sonoma winter. A season to rest, reflect and be nurtured, bringing more balance to life.

It is with deep Gratitude & Aloha that I welcome 2013 …

This year is still bringing us guests who have stayed with us in the past; that is so heart warming. We “connect” on a deeper level at the Inn because the spaces allow that. The Inn has become a true sanctuary without t.v. this year.  (Tulsi Cottage being the exception) We have ended the year by replacing wood burning logs with tea light candle logs which cast a romantic glow without polluting our air. We do have some beautiful gas fire places too in some of our rooms.

I want to take a moment here to also honor my staff ~ Gloria, Paula, Lori, Laura & Kathryn ~ these amazing and lovely women answer phones with smiles, provide concierge services ~ take late calls to provide excellent guest service. They are the heart of the Cottage Inn & Spa. The amazing housekeeping staff ~ Martha, Rosalva, Jesus providing impeccable rooms at all times. The gardening team Chris who works diligently & swiftly and Susan who lovingly tends the roses and plants with grace.

The main spa providers ~ Willow, Gianna, Gloria, Kathryn, Tiona, Shannon ~ my heartfelt thank you for your healing energy to bring to the world.

I honor Ken & Brady for providing such incredible photography for our new website and Celeste & Donna for getting us out into the world of social media & creating our magical website. And finally Michael, who finds creative solutions for any and every problem.

As I reflect on my 60th year, it was amazing! I feel such deep peace to be here in this time, in this valley. Blessings to all for a beautiful year ahead.
