Life moves so quickly for some of us. As tools that allows instant communication speed up the rate of our work, it becomes increasingly important for us to seek moments of quiet and peace before we forget how to relax.
One of my favorite places to seek peace of mind is at Sugar Hollow Retreat. The 300-acre rental property is full of spaces for relaxing, spending time with people, and letting your mind unwind. When you're there, you understand what this really means.
Sugar Hollow Retreat is as fine a location as any to make your “home away from home” but did you know that it can also be a “work away from work.” Why not bring your company to Sugar Hollow for this purpose?

GRAY, Tenn. -- Rosemary Kleske had spent hours online.
Some venues required her group to pay for their cooking services – a tough bill to swallow when her group of church ladies could certainly whip up a good meal on their own.
Other retreats restricted the use of alcohol, but Kleske was planning a wine tasting 101 session for the 40 women from the Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church (HVUUC).
Other venues also had lengthy, complicated contracts.
But the women’s retreat was a simple weekend event, and they just wanted to have fun and relax.
“It was very hard to find someplace that fit all of our criteria,” she said.
Eventually, she found Sugar Hollow Retreat. Now she’s planning her third woman’s retreat there for 2010.
“The beauty speaks for itself. It’s just gorgeous and everyone loves the hikes,” she said.

I have trouble getting scared at haunted houses these days, but I still love the idea of slinking through the dark, hands out in front of me, hoping some ghoul doesn’t jump out from the shadows and send my heart into my throat.
To that end, I’ve been digging around online to see if there are any good Halloween scares in our area.
