I can't put "it" into words
PS I love you extra today & RETREAT to Portugal July 2024
If you’re a regular reader, or new here, I’ll start off by telling you I love you… since I forgot to add it to last weeks note. The irony is that I wrote an email about slowing down, but I pressed send so quickly because my computer was at 3% and it was time for the weekend.
Anyways, today I posted a quick video clip on instagram from Summer 2023, on my final morning in Greece. It was a final morning of reflection, stillness, writing, movement & soaking “it” all in.
I can’t quite put “it” into words. When we go away, we don’t always know what to expect. We don’t know what moments will quickly pass by and what will stick with us forever.
Looking at photos & videos from last summer, I’m transported back to that time and can’t help but smile. It was an indescribable adventure, liberating on many levels, and filled with self-discovery. As I reflect I feel a lightness in my entire body, my breath slows and deepens and then if you know me, you already know, my chest tightens, my lips start to quiver, and I let myself cry. I laugh a bit and the lightness reappears. It’s a big gift to be able to feel it all.
For me, travel is crucial. If you’re reading this newsletter, I imagine travel is compelling for you too. That you can also close your eyes and hold on tight to a memory that not only lets you smile, but also allows you to really feel.
The most incredible group of retreaters is forming & booking flights to Portugal this summer.
July 13-20 2024, we’re staying on a 275 acre coastal farm 2 hours south of Lisbon… But as you can imagine, you’ll gain a lot more than that.
Questions? Reach out!

Amanda
