Wicked Wednesday – Favorite Staycation

The Wickeds

On Wicked Wednesdays, we all weigh in on a topic. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about our favorite dream vacation, which in most cases involved lots of travel and planning. This week, we’re keeping it more low key and sharing our favorite staycations–getaways close to home.

So, Wickeds, what’s your ideal staycation?

Liz: The beach is always my favorite, whether it’s near or far. I prefer Rhode Island beaches to the ones in Connecticut, so most summers when it’s a beach day that means driving an hour and a half or so to Second Beach in Middletown, RI. It’s close enough to Newport that you can also do dinner or some shopping, but also perfect to just drive in to the beach, hit the sand and head home. Heaven!

About Brand Fearless

In January 2014, I began a new adventure using my creative talents to "spiral up" and leave chronic illness in the wake of my life. Disease had changed me both internally and externally, and I had decided it was time to shift. After 15 years as a Special Education teacher, my classroom would no longer be limited to a building. Instead, I would now see the world as my classroom. I founded Brand Fearless, a small "social good" online media company where everything we do, we do with the idea of bringing good to the world. We believe in challenging people's perspectives and pushing the boundaries. We do this by delivering thought-provoking, interactive social strategies, brilliant campaigns, and using inspiring content and imagery to spread your valuable and unique message to the world. We are storytellers, artists, and do-gooders. I am a digital creator, published author, educator, wellness speaker, animal advocate, podcaster, and general lover of anything that gets my creative juices flowing. I have experience utilizing social media for individuals and non-profits to advocate for change, raise awareness, and funds, and create excitement around a cause. I've been a member of the Social Media Marketing Society since 2019. I'm the author of "Wisdom in the MEOW," the first in the Wu Kitty series, published June 2021 with Halo Publishing International. I'm also a contributing author in the anthology Rescued Volume 2: The Healing Stories of Twelve Cats, Through Their Eyes, published with FitCat Inc. In addition, I have been a professional member of the Cat Writers Association since 2017. You can find my author page on Amazon, Halo Publishing International, and Goodreads. I was privileged to be interviewed in Caleb Vinson's documentary "Who Am I," which recently won an ImpactDocs Award. *whoamifilm.com* I'm currently working on my memoir with Publish Your Purpose Press in CT. I hold a master's in Special Education with 15 years of experience with at-risk youth in the private, public and residential sectors. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education: Broad-Based studios and minors in History and Women's Studies. For more than 25 years, I have participated in animal rescue and advocacy, volunteering, humane education, fostering, transporting, and caring for neglected and abandoned animals all over New England and as far west as UT. In addition, I actively participate in legislative advocacy groups and hold memberships in various groups. I'm also a certified Red Rover Responder. I recently moved back home to Massachusetts not far from where I grew up on the Cape. After almost 16 years in Connecticut, it was time to head home to the ocean. I live happily with my rescue dog Finnegan and my three rescue cats.
