Escape

Once or twice a year, my wise husband literally kicks me out the door for a few days away to catch up on sleep, do a little reading, and self reflecting. So, over the weekend I slipped away and it wasn't a coincidence when I was handed the keys to my rental car, a spunky silver Ford Escape.  Where did I escape to?  A relaxing and uplifting Mother's Retreat put together by two wonderful women - Saren and April (their website Power of Moms) at the beautiful Red Mountain Spa in St George Utah.  The mountains and weather were gorgeous.

I spent time with amazing women and ate yummy food.  I had a chat with Linda Eyre ~ I will be forever grateful for her example, as her words rescued me during a chaotic year (when I had a newborn and barely 2 year old twin boys) through her books - Teaching Children Joy and A Joyful Mother of Children.  I came home with fresh ideas for family systems and traditions and wonderful memories of inspiring conversations.  Thanks to my sweet husband and mother for keeping up with the kids and the house so I could escape for a few days!
