Home Retreat

I always wondered what it was like going to a SUH-WEET, expensive AF* retreat to get away, pay complete attention to myself, sleep without interruption, wake up to do Yoga without kids riding me like a horse while in down dog, really hit that reset button, get a fancy massage, pay a depth of attention to my emotional status, sweat in a sauna and return to my home like a sunny, refreshed Goddess. Ah, all the glory. But, I learned something incredibly valuable even without going on a retreat. My home should be a retreat. I shouldn't have to leave my home to focus on and nurture me. My home really should be my sacred space where I can do the deep work, on top of work work, on top of being a mom. I have a good feeling I would be longing for the next retreat if my home environment didn't meet my needs. It's my home retreat. I get to love it, indulge in it and cherish it year round. Pssst ... honestly, also, this is how I have not gone insane over the past three years.

And, let's be real, not all of us moms can make it to a quarterly or even a yearly retreat. It isn't as practical for some. So, I hope this inspires you to make some motion in creating your home to be a sacred, nourishing retreat to call your own.

In my opinion, that's worth its weight in gold.
