i've been in good company (part 1)

  Above are some of the comforts found at the Your Story Be Present retreat. Here I was blessed to meet creative spirits who will forever hold a special place in my heart. As a bonus I got to room with my dear friend Martha too. 

Liz is amazing at creating a nurturing space for soulful gatherings and the Oregon coast provides the most beautiful backdrop for this kind of unique experience. Many thanks to mentors Kelly Barton, Ali Edwards and Meredith Winn.

And guess what else? There was a beach filled with limitless sand dollars to collect while walking in the gentle rain.

Bliss!

My heart is filled with gratitude.

Glad you're home happy ~ I love that little glass the roses are in ~ just got your letter today and'll be writing you back.

I always enjoy the days after returning home from being away. It feels so nice to settle back into all the things missed and remember all the things experienced.
