Hi! Just in case you missed last weeks post in SoCal Part 1 this will help you get caught up on my recent travels.
I decided to begin today’s post with a question. since I don’t know where else to begin
What direction do you want to go this year?
Have you given this any thought?
Just recently I attended a Women’s Retreat read more finishing up a visit to SoCal
and so naturally I’m in a contemplative state of mind.
It’s a good thing though. Very good.
There are several reasons why I return to this retreat house each year.
The most obvious one is I return so that I can turn away from the world for a weekend.
I find that going to a place where there’s no nightly news, or all the other outside influences
I begin to hear & experience a deeper sense of life within.
I am able to take a deeper look at this journey I’m on.
The weekend connects me to myself again.
I find that when the noise from outside is silenced, another voice speaks louder.
I begin to hear and see a clearer path.
And that’s very good.
Happy February!

Thanks for sharing your travels and the invitation to reflect on our lives!
Hi Joe! You are very welcome
Love this post about searching within your self… I think it is a good way to start the new year… and plot out the path one would like to take
Hi Jane! So nice to see you today & thank you for your kind comments. Have a great week
I agree that it’s a good idea to get away from our daily lives, find peace and quiet so that we can listen to our souls as they settle down. I take my dog and drive into the country to walk on a quiet road for an hour or so…it is my escape…or is it? Perhaps it is my real existence and connection to the earth. I hope your journey has brought you some sense of peace… :0)
Hi Jenny! I am so lucky to live on this beautiful coast where I can walk for miles at a time. So peaceful & beautiful right in my backyard. The retreat is very special for me too. This was my 14th year attending, and I’m glad I was able to. Sounds like you have a good quiet method also.
