i was put on a waiting list and told chances were slim to none that i would be called...in early august the phone rang it was the lovely sheri...a spot had opened and had my name on it if i so desired... 15 minutes later i was signed up and ready for a journey of a lifetime.
i have never been away by myself in all 46 years...i have never taken a solo road trip...i have never stayed in a room/hotel (cabin) alone. it was time...i packed my bags (many) and loaded up for the adventure!
i arrived having listened to the four agreements on cd ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal/dp/1878424319) and having had an awesome dance party in my car!
30 women at all stages of life were there...women that were called...women who i fell in love with...women who will always be a part of me...our leaders were catherine just http://www.catherinejust.com/ and flora bowley http://www.florasbowley.com/ two women that change lives if you are ready for them to be changed.
it was a photography and art retreat...but really not about photography and art but about life and who we were meant to be and who we can become...it was about learning and getting out of our heads...it was magnificent...it was life changing...i learned that i am so much more than this...i am becoming a better bigger version of myself...i can't wait to find out where this journey leads...but right now nothing is more important than this day...i wear a thumb ring everyday that reminds me of that very fact..thanks to my friend/jewelry designer khobe http://www.studiodelucca.com/
i feel absolutely blessed to be living my life...living in gratitude
