I am truly grateful for the incredible life I am able to live, and hope that you are too.  I hope you take this moment to find your own practice, even if just for today. 

This week, my 6 year old son asked me, “Am I safe?”

…  I opened the book and the first lines indicate that I am opening this book at this time for a very particular reason.  It is not an accident.  It is an invitation from the universe.  

“I am listening.”

By honoring the harvest, we honor the bounty of every season.  The bounty of crops, the bounty of space, the bounty of life’s return, and the bounty of growth. 

This morning, my little boy asked me to go for an adventure before the sun was up.  What would I have done instead?  Drank my coffee, made breakfast, dishes, swept the floor, maybe scrolled my phone.  What did I do instead?  I experienced awe.

Out came the paint, newspaper and pallet.  I decided I wanted to use one brush and never stop moving.  I wanted a flow of connection just as the waves ebb. 

I wanted to be of the water.

I have spent more time THINKING about fixing that pillow than the time it took to actually FIX said pillow.  The mental space and energy of thinking about these tasks is so heavy.  Why do I care so much?  I spend so much of my valuable life force creating work.  Is it worth it?

When I started writing this I was thinking; ‘Next summer, I’ll do better!’.  Then I paused long enough to realize, NO!  There are still three weeks left of THIS summer.  I have ⅓ of our summer to do better.  

I am feeling the need for the women of my life.

I am wanting to connect with them on deep levels.

I am looking for the strings that seem small, but truly are what hold everything else together.

I am needing space to be freely me, with like minded souls.

n a world where many women do not feel the connection of other women, I have it.

How lucky am I?

…

What a retreat this was; away from our children, partners, jobs, houses and everyday expectations. I was reminded of the power of feminine connection and retreating with likeminded women. I felt the power of what we can do together. I know we can move mountains.

We, as feminine beings need RESTORATION.

Within the next week or so, I will be introducing a new retreat that my personal retreat inspired! We need time and space.
