Get away getaway

It has been a very stressful time for the past several months. With work issues, figuring out what is next, relationships, living adjustments, financial curve balls, life uncertainties. I have been feeling maxed out emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I have a go-to place now where I can find my peaceful center. I aim for the month of May to go.

My girlfriend also needed this type of break so off we went. Gratefully, it happened to be a beautiful weekend. It was an important time for us to reflect and connect, to talk about what is going on and options in addressing the myriad of challenges and directions as well as deciding where to put our energies. We have tangible action steps and clarity. Our lives are going in a bigger trajectory while still having the dailiness of living. Just getting some footing and inner peace can help put it all into manageable perspective. Having a loving presence without judgments to bounce emotions, fears, what-ifs, needs and wants off of is a wonderful gift. It is the gift of time. And shift happened.

In a crazy fast moving world, it is so important to get off the bullet train, zipping from one place to the next and onto the next project. At this pace, we tend to react to what is going on. Getting off to see the scenic byways and small towns will give us time to respond and redefine what is most important at this time.

I put my schedule on hold for three days. It was beautiful.
