we really loved the Lake Michigan beaches. so clean and pleasant. Watched the sun set a couple of times there. My hubby and I just planned another two day get away to Brown County Indiana so have one more mini vacation. At least some fun ahead!!!

We are soul mates in our love for travel! I thrive on seeing new places, new and different food, historical sites and just getting away. It has been hard not having that long hoped for trip to Maine that was planned and then cancelled due to Covid . Have tried to do some fun day trips and it has helped, but still want more, ha. Glad you were able to come our way and visit Frankenmuth! Such a fun place with great food. We are just a little more than an hour from there and enjoy it also. One day I am going to make it over to the western part of our state and go swimming in Lake Michigan. I hear no rocks and white sand! How awesome and nice change from our rocky beaches. Love our blue water though and am happy that I have had time at our local beach. Eager to hear what you will share about the retreat.

the silence and solitude soothed my soul and I heard my voice and God’s gentle response so well while on retreat. I will write about my experience soon.

May God help us to be flexible and creative as we seek more of Him.

He’s only a breath away.

This time we are in calls us to be creative and to think of new ways, doesn’t it?

I am just finishing my retreat and will share about it in the next few weeks. Different type of retreat with less “community” some advantages and disadvantages but God is still here!

I’ll look forward to hearing how it goes. Jeff and I have missed traveling together during this time too. So much has changed. I am taking a short trip next week with 3 of my best friends. We’ve each been isolating more than normal for 2 weeks prior to the trip to ensure the safety of each other.

I pray that the peace and solitude, the quiet communion with our Heavenly Father, and the respite from everyday responsibilities will nourish your soul in glorious ways!

Yes, lots of retreats and conferences have been cancelled or postponed. I am thankful for alternative ways to have retreats.

I do hope your modified retreat will bring you joy and peace. Those are things we all need during these times. Blessings!
