HELLO FRIENDS – IT’S FINALLY SPRING!!

We have officially celebrated SPRINGING AHEAD with Daylight Savings Time.  While I do not cherish losing that 1-hour, I absolutely love that we are experiencing longer days!  And now, there is talk about

ARE YOU READY TO DISCOVER THE VALUE OF TRAVEL & FINDING YOUR PEACE?
I don’t think anyone will argue we live in challenging times. It is not always easy to know what to do, how we might help our family & friends, or even how to plan for the future, whether near or far.
Personally, there are many daydream moments as of late when I envision being somewhere else I can retreat to and recharge. I imagine many of you might feel the same way.
With those daydreams, we believe doing exactly that is part of travel’s true value.
The value of our travels is the time we take to decompress. It is the journey’s experiences that are meaningful for us, the communities we visit, and the contributions we knowingly make to the greater good. It is sharing our new stories with family and friends and thinking affectionately about the people and places we visited a year after returning home. And it is the peace we allow ourselves to feel when we are free of our daily routine and restrictions. We can all use a little more peace now if only peace of mind.

GET MOVING & SEE / FEEL WHAT’S OUTSIDE
Spending time in nature delivers moments of activity, awareness and restoration.  Challenge yourself with wall or rock climbing, hikes in nature, Pickleball, Biking – limitless mindset provides limitless possibilities.
What MOVES you?  Are you ready to awaken your senses?  Are you ready to shift your perspective?
Give yourself the permission to enjoy a Celebra-cation® Retreat to your Body, Mind & Spirit.

We Believe That Kindness & Caring are Contagious
With every season and for every reason, our hearts remain with those in UKRAINE who are experiencing unimaginable challenges.
We hope you have chosen a humanitarian resource to make a difference for those who are in need.
“It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt
