Everyone deserves to feel radiant and joyful. A few years ago, I was in my 40’s , a Mom to two, and a doctor in the Army. I was burned out and felt busy but bored. I needed a change and was about to get it. A move to Germany with the Army! Fun, right? Nope. We took all the usual tours; church, museum, church etc headphones tours droning on about this or that. Ugh!
Everything changed when I discovered hands-on, experiences. Stuff we could actually DO! In Cinque Terra, Italy we made Pesto with a local family, in Iceland we visited a Ranch and groomed Icelandic horses (the furriest horses ever by the way) and in Greece we made olive oil. I loved it!! I felt alive and excited to travel. I wanted to and keep the learning and growing going in my day to day. So I did! I started a skin care biz, got yoga certified, learned to knit, make jewelry and lots more. I was connected, excited and growing not just in my free time but at work too. It was a new kind of self care (not knockin’ mani-pedi’s here, they have a place) but this was self-care from the inside out. I became “radiant,” growing and learning about so many things!! You can find that spark, joy, fun too and I am here to help!
