I recently returned from a two-week West Coast Book Tour. I learned so much from this experience and the first lesson was to let go of expectations. First of all, I was supposed to go on this trip with another friend of mine. Without going into details, she and I parted ways which left me with my strong awareness that this was all happening for a reason … I needed to Let Go and Let God. I had the choice…..
“We are never prepared for what we expect.” ~ James A. Michener My friend Mary and I embarked on a 2-day road trip adventure through Utah and Colorado before attending The Children of the Light Conference. I had skied in Utah and Colorado when I was in my 30’s and 40’s, but I never saw how beautifully green it is. I fell in love with the mountains all over again! Of course, we had to stop in at a dispensary…..
I had so much fun at a Spiritual Retreat in wine country in the beautiful city of Temecula. There was so much laughter, hugs and love to go around. There is something very powerful about women coming together to share experience, strength and hope with one another through story telling. I was inspired by the courage and strength I witnessed throughout the weekend. The topic for our Saturday meeting was Acceptance. One of my favorite sayings is “God, Grant me the…..
Last weekend was very special! I decided to combine a Women’s Retreat and Romantic Getaway with my husband in Temecula. Thursday night we were off to our quaint, private, Airbnb Casita! We found a wonderful restaurant in Old Town called 1909. Since we weren’t very hungry, we shared a shrimp appetizer and a delicious entrée. We walked a short distance and knew we wanted to come back in the morning to check this cute little town out. A warm 100-degree spa was…..
I had the great privilege of attending the Sat Nam Fest West that was held in Malibu Canyon in April. I loved the setting of being surrounded by abundant beautiful trees, which was a far cry from the dry, dusty desert of Joshua Tree where the Sat Nam Fest was held previously. I felt like I was being held in the womb of the Mother. My husband Gary was able to join me at the fest this year. It…..
I had an amazing 10-day trip to Kono, Hawaii with 12 of us from different states all convening to share this special time at Banyan Tree Sanctuary. My good friend, Shawn Gallaway, was our trip facilitator and Jan Salerno was our dolphin guide. I enjoyed connecting with the awesome people who attended this Dolphin Tune retreat. Our morning started out with a moving chakra meditation followed by a hearty vegetarian breakfast. We all shared our stories as we got to…..
Last weekend, I assisted Wendy Treynor, PHD for the I Can Heal retreat at 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley, CA. The workshop was about going within to find your own truth. It was an honor and privilege to witness amazing spiritual breakthroughs. Wendy and I stayed in a beautiful 3-bedroom condo with a magnificent view of the redwoods that was a short walk to the dining and classrooms. There are several meeting rooms that are beautiful and spacious in an…..
I just returned home from a week long healing women’s retreat in Tuscany, Italy. We had a fabulous group of eight women on this retreat and stayed in an amazing villa in the country which was breathtakingly beautiful! There were four private bedrooms upstairs with private baths and three bedrooms on the main floor. I needed to move beyond my fears about spending money on myself even though I had received a small inheritance from my dad which more than…..
