February 2017 RETREAT!

If you go back to the beginning of this blog, one of the things I have always written about is wanting to host an overnight retreat.

Always.

And like humans everywhere, I made a million excuses on why that couldn't happen. Most of them nonsense. (Sound vaguely familiar?)

Well, no more my friends!

Kacey and I have teamed to create the retreat of our dreams. (I am so not kidding!)

To make things incredibly special, Regina Bei, who owns the Hudson House Inn in Cold Spring, has blocked the entire inn for the weekend guaranteeing us a most magical time.

What else could you possibly have to do the first weekend in February? Watch Netflix? Laundry? Crock pot a meal? Nestle under blankies?

Imagine being right beside the Hudson River in a bucolic setting with a fire roaring and some of your favorite new friends making space for you and allowing you to just be.
(You're imagining it, right?)

Imagine us creating a weekend that expands on our day events.
(You've asked us to do this...)

Imagine delicious, nutritious foods.
(That you didn't have to prepare.)

Imagine the gift you can give yourself. Because if you don't put the oxygen mask on yourself first you will be of no service to anyone.
(There's a reason airlines tell us this!)

Join us.

My Friend, Glennon

I can and have waxed poetic about in 11 posts about how Glennon Doyle Melton has inspired me on this blog. All you have to do is use the search button up there on the top right and you will find all the archives.

My sister Jane and I went to see her at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in October. BUT, it wasn't just Glennon. It was an evening of Women Warriors inspiring an audience of rapt listeners at the Together Tour. Truth tellers sharing bits of their lives that matter.

I invite you to check these astounding women out:
Valerie Kaur ~ Dr. Jacqui Lewis ~ Seane Corne ~ Alicia Keys

BUT, today. This morning. I am on Kacey's show chatting with her about my friend, Glennon after she interviewed her.

Some day I will be sitting on a couch with Glennon shoulder to shoulder. It's a promise to myself. I really would lose my one mind with the wonder of that.

THIS coming Wednesday, Glennon is launching her annual "Healing Hands" event to raise money to raise people up. It's one of my favorite feel good events of the year. I urge you to check it out.

At the end of the night, after tears were shed, and manifestos were written and after they were supposed to be done, Alicia Keys was moved to sing this song acappella.
​
​NOT A SOUND COULD BE HEARD EXCEPT HER VOICE.
I took the above video from YouTube as I was completely caught up in the moment and didn't have it in me to video. So, thank you to the wonderful person who got all this.

Below is the studio version. Go buy it.
Oh maybe we should love somebody
Oh maybe we could care a little more
So maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war
