travel & retreat

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

I took most of August away from work, traveling to Italy and Croatia, and then on a yoga retreat as the final weekend of my teacher training program.

In Italy, I watched my brother marry the love of his life and hopped from party to party fueled by frothy cappuccinos. In Croatia, I swam in the Adriatic with my dad and daughter, and soaked bread in fresh homemade olive oil. Then I spent four days by Lake Tahoe, being nurtured by silence, simplicity, yoga, and good friends.

Now that life is back to normal I have a fresh outlook on my day-to-day and feel inspired and rejuvenated. I also realize that in one summer I accomplished two of my “Five Year Goal” dreams: finished my teacher training and took my little family to Europe. (Thank goodness I have four and a half years left, because I will need that to read all those Shakespeare plays!)

After a jam-packed summer, I’m grateful for a couple of months off before I start traveling again for work. Check out my upcoming events. Now, back to my cereal and book before bed…
