WHY A RETREAT?



   


If you're anything like me, you're over-worked.

Over-stressed.

Over-booked.

Over-tired.

You have kids, jobs, spouses, and parents.

And you crave time.

Time alone.

Time for yourself.

Time with no distractions.

Time to think, relax, meditate, breathe.

You crave time, simply, to be.

If any of these ideas apply to you, I'd like to invite you to a retreat that Thea Rademacher, Joan Scibienski, and I are creating.

This retreat is for you.

I was inspired to create a retreat because I know women.  One woman in particular, a while ago, was describing her life.  And this is a life ruled by her job, her child, her parents, and her spouse.

"I can't even go to the bathroom by myself."

So. . . if you crave some alone time, some "me" time, come to Relax, Renew, Revive:  A Unique Retreat for Women.  Spend some time at the beautiful St. Benedict Center near Schuyler, Nebraska. (Although the retreat center is a religious facility, Relax, Renew, Revive does not focus on any particular religious perspective.  We welcome everyone and we include everyone!)

You'll have plenty of time to spend in nature near the reflecting pool, walk a meditative labyrinth, connect with like-minded women, and talk about things like joy, happiness, pleasure, desire, and positivity.  You'll eat delicious food.  And you might even have fun.  But best of all, you'll leave feeling relaxed, renewed, and revived.

In the upcoming weeks, you'll hear more from me about the power of retreats, what's in store for you during this retreat, and you'll get to know your retreat facilitators. 

So head on over to my website for all the details!

We'd to see you in central Nebraska this May!

WHAT'S PLEASURE GOT TO DO WITH DIETING?

Image
What does pleasure have to do with losing weight? On the surface, nothing. But look a little deeper, and maybe pleasure has everything to do with dieting! When we go on a traditional diet, we immediately think in terms of "good" and "bad."  We think of "foods I can have," and "foods I can't have," or "shouldn't have." After a day or two, or a week or two, or a month or two, all we are those foods we "shouldn't have." But when we infuse pleasure into our thinking, we change.  Instead of thinking in terms of "good" and "bad" food, we ask ourselves the question, "What will bring me the most pleasure?" If the answer is a stale candy bar from a vending machine, great.  Go for it.  Enjoy it! But if you would get a deeper level of pleasure, of satisfaction from a single bite of Godiva chocolate, go for that! Or maybe it isn't even chocolate!  May it's a hot, satisfying, h...
