Be Inspired ~ Sanctuary

Be Inspired from Annette Bridges

Are you feeling heartbroken?

Are you longing for a sanctuary to run to?

 

This beautiful song lifted my heart when I first heard it and I hope it brings you comfort as well. I was reminded where to find sanctuary. I was reminded that the sanctuary I desperately long for isn’t always found by running away but running into the arms of those I love. That sanctuary can be found in the remembering of happy times. Sometimes we need our loved ones to help us remember these by sharing their stories and memories with us. And other times no spoken words are needed. There is sanctuary to be found in sitting in silence together until we can go on.

There are times when we rest in the arms of what most sustains us. Share on X

It may not always be a person. It could be a place or an activity that brings you rest.

Ask yourself what is it that sustains you, that brings you comfort, that nourishes and soothes your soul, that brightens your spirits? And do that. Do more of that. Until you can carry on…

15 Things You Might Take on a Women’s Retreat

As I say on the handout here, the most important things to take on retreat are NOT things. Even before you decide to go on retreat, you will want to ask yourself some questions. A good one to begin with is…

what does retreat mean to you

Then consider my number 1 thing you might take on a women’s retreat – however I would change this to my number 1 thing you MUST take on retreat.

Your intention!

To do this you must answer the questions – Why are you going on retreat? Why do you feel you need a retreat? What are you hoping to accomplish or gain from retreat?

Whether you retreat alone or come away with me on retreat, I hope you’ll find this list helpful!

What Mamma says…

Me and Mamma wish you all a New Year that is happy, productive and filled with lots of good learning and living!

“Mamma says if we stay so focused on our past failings, we won’t be able to move beyond them and learn what we need to know.”
