Return

A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends. – Richard Bach

Once upon a time I wished to be part of a tribe of women who loved and supported and challenged and nourished me.  I wished for real and honest connection and to be met where I was. I wished for magic.  It was not an easy weekend, but it was a perfect one.  It was full of laughter, irreverence, reiki, tarot, tears, food, sleeplessness, talking, music, planning, silliness, sitting by the fire, photography (LOTS of photography!) chocolate, coffee, and a sugar hangover.  I have felt a little raw and open and sleepy since leaving our cocoon, but I take that as a good sign.

Dear Sas, Susannah, Lisa, Penny, Emma, Jo and Leonie: thank you doesn’t cover it.  I love you.

“Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim… Friends are born, not made… Intimates are predestined.” – Henry Brooks Adams

I’m up early on a very cold, wet day in England. I am even very excited about going out in the very cold, wet day in England! Why? Because in a few short hours I will be cozily snuggling in a cottage with some of the most wonderful, talented, honest, real women I know. We are ‘retreating’ in the best sense of the word. Retreating from our daily lives to a place where we can be whoever we want to be. We are going to eat and laugh and probably cry. I know there will be about a thousand pictures taken, plans made, dreams supported, and chocolate eaten. I’m so nervous, but also so excited to get on that train.

See you Sunday.
