Learning to Retreat

 I returned recently from my Michigan Retreat.  What an awesome group of women.  They came to get work done, to see friends and spend time catching up on each others lives, to see the projects everyone is working on, learn something new as well as to rest, relax and renew.  From my viewpoint that all happened in the most delightful way.  I honestly laughed so hard at a few points my sides hurt.  I came home refreshed and hopefully each of them did too.

It is so important to take time out from the stresses of our lives and retreat so that we can renew and refresh ourselves.  My son and his family recently moved to a new town and lifestyle.  Their son has been experiencing the stress of it all with whining and crying, etc.  They have had to give him time-outs from time to time so he could settle down and relieve some of that stress.  As I was updating the retreat page here I thought about time outs and how important they are.  Our bodies need rest as well as our minds so that we can cope with all that life throws at us, both the good and the bad.

My prayer for you is that you put retreat time into your schedule and experience that life giving renewal it brings.

Blessings and Joy!

Renew

 It has been a long two years and it has gone by quickly.  Is that possible?  I am ready for getting back to something that looks like normal without the tension of masks, getting sick and taking care of others and self through all of the concerns that Covid has brought.

My retreats are back with precautions in place and renewed energy for making them happen.  Please check out the retreats page for the details.  I am excited to see old friends and making new ones.

As 2022 gets underway may you look forward to it in Hope and gratitude.

Blessings to all of you.

On the Move

 Once again we are on the move to a new area and home.  We are leaving Southern California to return to Northern California in the greater Bay Area.

We are making an effort to purge a lot this time.  It is hard work both physically and emotionally but it feels good.  I'm looking forward to setting up house with a bit less baggage.

GOOD NEWS!!  The Michigan Fall Quilting Retreat is on for October 3-6, 2021.  You can find information on the retreat page of this blog.  I'm so looking forward to reconnecting with these ladies and meeting new friends.

Have a safe and blessed 4th of July!
