Find Your Summer Retreat

Because it’s summer…

Because you deserve to find joy…

Because the world is truly “too much with us” these days…

Find a place where you can retreat from the stress, pressure, cares, sorrows, a place where you feel your own life thrumming through your body.

Savor the land and the sky, the mountains and the water. Inhale the fragrance of lilac, rose, and new-mown grass.

Open every sense to the pleasure of residing in the moment and allow that peace to heal, if only for a little while, the torn and bleeding parts of your soul and psyche.

We are allowed to breathe deeply of the goodness in the world and, renewed, return to advocate for its survival.

Mayhem

May 10th, 2022|

Ukraine means 'country.' Whatever happened to 'make love, not war'? Where do we go when madness rules the earth? And I think about the mothers... There comes a time in every woman's journey when she faces those two converging paths [...]
