Your post about a solo retreat and unplugging reminded me of a great book I read you might enjoy, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.
Amazing news! How wonderful! May your solo retreat give your heart and head a chance to reset so you are ready to have all of those parties because it is definitely time to celebrate.
Side note, have you ever read the book called The Myth of Normal? There are some similar stories in the book. It is amazing what the body and mind can do.
Sending so many peaceful and joyful stars your way.
Shira I’m so thankful for the wonderful news about your daughter. What a beautiful miracle. Enjoy your time by yourself to rest and restore your body. Sending love.
Hello Mrs. Gill, I am so happy and relieved to hear that your daughter won´t be needing the surgery after all! This must be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders! Get a good rest at your retreat in Calistoga. I hope you will be able to recharge your batteries. Yours with love, Frauke from Germany
You have given me much to think about in planning the coming week. Heart surgery is Tuesday, after which I will be home, alone, and unsure about just how my body will respond. I am considering what you say here about solo retreat, which I take for two weeks annually to write, but which has been bumped up because surgeries this year. I can still have a bit of retreat feel next week. Thank you for reminding me. Now to plan for the possibilities.
Glad to read about your daughter. I can't imagine what you and your family, your poor daughter, have been through these months. Continue to be well. A
I'll be sending lots of love for a smooth surgery and recovery. Take your time daydreaming and planning your retreat - sometimes that's actually the best part :)
What wonderful news for your family! I am so happy to hear that Emilie is recovering and doesn't need surgery. Thank you for your open and honest sharing of your personal story these past few weeks, and I hope you enjoy this well-deserved time for rest during your weekend retreat. Calistoga is such a special place.
Your posts are such an inspiration for me and how I want to move forward in this world. Thank you for all that you do and share with this community.
So happy for you and your family! Enjoy your retreat! I’d love to hear your suggestions on where to take a solo retreat. I love to be immersed in nature.
Wonderful news! What a great way to start the weekend. Thank you for sharing. Your advice on planning a solo retreat is timed perfectly. Next week I start a 14-day house/dog-sitting job in a beautiful home located in a charming town. I'll incorporate your tips into my stay. Again, so happy for you, Emelie, and the rest of your family.
Shira I’m so happy for you all. It’s amazing how these things happen. I hope you have a wonderfully relaxing retreat. You really deserve this time for yourself so you can be refueled for yourself and family. I’m having a short 3 day retreat house sitting for my daughter while she and her husband are on a first baby moon in Queensland. Just me and her dog and I can’t wait to relax, read, etc.
I am so happy for you! What a relief.

I'm a city girl, but I would check out Yosemite or Inverness if you're on the west coast! x
