Bode and I ended our retreat at Grace Grove on our 2 months wedding anniversary. It couldn't have been more perfect. We left happy and rejuvenated and even closer than before. It was one of the most spectacular trips I have ever been on and one of the most beneficial leaps of faith I've taken. I'm excited for the future and not at all nervous for the hurdles Bode and I have coming up. I now have the tools to deal with them with grace and love and be able to show compassion.
I learned that a majority of the baggage that I carried wasn't mine and I've come to love and understand who I am....every single part of my crazy little self along with all the crazy decisions I've ever made. I learned that our plan isn't always THE plan and that adjustment and going with the flow when life throws you major curve balls is absolutely necessary. I've also learned that the cure to every problem, even if it's not what we want to do, is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (as hippy dippy as that sounds it's so true) I encourage everyone to do some research on this place and maybe, if you have the time, try it. It's impossible to leave without benefitting.
I am so absolutely excited to be heading home tomorrow. I do miss stability and familiar places. I am looking forward to cleaning out the boat and getting it listed so we can move into our dream home!
