Hello beauties!
I am just back from a week vacation on a small lake in the middle of Wisconsin, at an old family cottage, with all my family and many cousins, and oh my… what a delight! From cooking for a large crew, to going tubing (OMG what a blast!) to kayaking in the early morning quiet, to playing Liar’s Dice (a game that my father and his brothers always played at this cottage and which I now am addicted to!), playing music, feeding llamas, plus running down country roads early every morning, to visiting quaint towns, and photographing fields of corn and old barns, and so much more. Memories made, and revisited, downtime to nap and read, and thankfully barely an internet signal ( get off that computer!), and crossing off some bucket list things… it just went sooooo fast.
My mama turned 95 and it was so sweet to spend this time with her at our family cottage, as well as my bro and sis, and spend precious quiet time with my man, too, (as we celebrated our 37th anniversary), all the cousins and nieces and nephews, while revisiting old stories while we laugh and made new ones.
This kind of time is necessary, my friend, to step away from the normal day-to-day, to wind down and chill, to try some new things, and also not have to be anywhere or do anything. and just to be quiet. Yes, the days were full, but full of love and laughter and good food and wine, games, water sports, and reconnections. This is time to recharge, renew, review, and even get reacquainted with oneself.
I do find downtime, or quiet time, in my everyday work life, with time to connect with nature, meditate, journal, to be outside, to get my daily morning run in, which is like therapy, and spend time breathing deep with gratitude and awe. This helps me to be able to see the big picture as well as the day to day picture.
Now I get ready for a month long road trip in our trailer around the Pac NW, to camp and visit friends, and host our Vintage Trailer Rally on the Oregon coast, and do some sightseeing. This is how I set my life up… work, play, follow my dreams, and create the life I love. #lovemylife
That’s something I help my clients do to, as a coach and mentor and teacher. Doing the work that brings great rewards to all sides, a win win. I love seeing my clients step into their glory, their dreams, and really truly participate in their lives. This is what we are here for, my friend, to shine our light and live our biggest desires. Add in abundance and gratitude and lots of love… yea baby!
OK, for those of you who are in my neighborhood, I have planned out my fall teaching schedule so I will post that below.
And those of you not, I am excited about my online offerings this fall… a weekly online writing/journaling class (From the Body to the Page), and a new mastermind gathering ( Illumination!)…more about those soon…I can’t wait to reconnect with you with these powerful classes and group gatherings.
in the meantime, be kind to yourself, take time to connect with nature outside and you inside, breathe deep…enjoy my loveys!
And please share this with your friends who would be interested in joining my email community and watching and reading about our gatherings and more… thank you for spreading the love!
