Journey of Survival

Being diagnosed with a brain tumor and seeking out treatment seems as if this would be the natural storyline. This was only the beginning of that journey. Having a date circled on a calendar, knowing it could possibly be my last day of living, I thought my story was about the challenges brought about by a brain tumor diagnosis. The journey begins with surviving with this second act of Life. What would YOU do if given a second chance?

Two cabins. One ocean. A retreat dream in the maki Two cabins. One ocean. A retreat dream in the making.
This week I visited a Wes Anderson-worthy summer camp and a seaside inn where the fire pit is just steps from the waves. I’m dreaming up Journey to Becoming retreats—and carrying both joy and grief in my suitcase as I head back to Louisiana for a funeral, a wedding, and some grandbaby snuggles. 💛

Would you attend a retreat here?

Would you rather start your morning with coffee and crashing waves 🌊 or forest mist and bird calls 🌲?

Camp DeForest just opened last week and stepping o Camp DeForest just opened last week and stepping onto the property felt like flipping open a vintage field journal. There’s a canoe. A fire pit. A little compass swinging from a pegboard.
If my younger self could have built a retreat center, this might’ve been it.
Now I’m asking myself: Could this be the setting for a “Journey to Becoming” weekend retreat?

Would you come journal and sip something special here?
Maine is trying to apologize for all those foggy, Maine is trying to apologize for all those foggy, misty weeks we’ve had. It’s nice to finally have an afternoon to enjoy outdoors, in the sunshine ☀️ , just watching the lobster 🦞 boats return to Cushing Harbor. Lots to be thankful for 🙏🏻. Happy hour is every hour in my world. Cheers! 🍸

After a stretch of Nor’easter gloom, this kind of golden light feels like a personal gift. The Beehive is open, the grass is green, and all is calm (even the guests). Grateful for quiet days, warm light, and a little space to breathe.
