Rejuvenation as a creative entrepreneur is SOOO important! And this creative entrepreneur needed a break! You might have read my blog last week about how burned out and overwhelmed I was feeling. And the one thing I know work is to play hooky! So last week my husband and I took a drive up to Napa. Napa is one of my favorite places and we can easily get there in about 45 minutes.
Actually part of what I love about living in the San Francisco Bay area is how quickly we can be to many creative and cool things to do. For me though once I enter Napa, I feel like I’ve gone back to an old country that I have grown to love and its energy just engulfs me. I find myself taking a big sigh and releasing so much that has pent-up up when we get there.
This time we drove straight to breakfast, and then Chandon Napa. Chandon is a champagne institution in France yet the US sparkling wine is made in Yountville. Originally when you walk to this property it might feel kind of corporate, LOL, but once you get into the tasting room it’s a pleasant escape. They have great bubbles to taste, amazing still wines that we actually love, and an opportunity to just buy a glass and relax. They even have a yummy little snacks and samples if you need a bite while you’re there. And actually in December we had dinner at their three Michelin star restaurant! Wow that was awesome.
We have been members at Chandon for 2.5, almost 3 years (June 19th…I remember because it was a very special vacation for us!). We love the staff, and how they treat us.

Just sitting there with my husband talking about non-work work related items, and enjoying a glass of bubbles completely allowed me to rejuvenate as a creative entrepreneur! I felt refreshed and alive and ready to go. And immediately wrote three blogs the next day! (Love when I can get them scheduled out!)
Now I feel like I can focus again on the next level of things that I KNOW I need to do; I just needed my creative entrepreneur energy back to achieve them. What do you do when the creative entrepreneur in you is burned out to rejuvenate?
