Here is a snippet from my summer newsletter (Yes I realize I sent it out with a few errors but  "good is good enough" and I am off to play)!

"Last night I spent the evening talking about adventure! A fabulous group of women shared past adventures and how they felt after -  alive, renewed, relaxed, inspired, and joyful. From backpacking in New Zealand to meeting a spouse on a dating website, it was wonderful to experience the energy when they shared there stories.

And then we talked about now...how busy summer can feel - weekends booked through August, activities, travel, etc. It can all leave one feeling a titch exhausted and overwhelmed. We talked about how we can slow down and be intentional about the summer.

Creating a balance between being and doing.

People started coming up with ideas for what they really wanted their summer to look like including little and big adventures. Again I saw the energy level rise as the women got creative about how to bring adventure back into their lives.

I encourage you to to reflect on what you really want your summer to look like. What adventures do you want to have? Here a few ideas:

  • Leave a weekend with nothing planned (this means no cleaning, errands, or schedule parties/activities). I am doing this for the whole month of July!
  • Eat outside once a week
  • Gaze at the stars
  • Take a class you've wanted to take
  • Go on a retreat/trip by yourself
  • Try something new every day (food, a different route to work)
  • Read something your normally wouldn't
  • Create a summer "bucket"
  • Listen to live music outdoors

Research is pretty clear - when have new experiences we create new pathways in our brains. So try something different. You will feel amazing!"

If you are looking for a retreat - I have a few spots left in the June 27th one!
