At the end of July, I traveled to Rhode Island for a Rousing Intuition workshop. I was gone for 5 days from my family. It was a Mommy vacation. It was a wife vacation.

This vacation was for Alyssa. It was a chance to be me, myself and I and I enjoyed every moment. I didn’t talk the kids while I was gone. There was no point – they are very much out of sight, out of mind kids and talking on the phone does really do much for them. I have seen this when Daddy is out of town. So…they are a lot like me I guess!

I enjoyed every moment. In the mornings I went to a coffee shop to enjoy a latte and breakfast. In the evenings, I would head out into the town with friends.

One night, a friend and I headed to beach. There was the most incredible full moon shining brightly right over the ocean. I felt so very alive that night.

The next night, we were eating at a restaurant seated outside – again that full moon! And then at the table right next to us, a jam session breaks out! It was awesome!

I got to talking to this man at the airport about luggage process and airline incentives and he thought I was on a business trip! He thought I was a business woman – man, I still got it!

I talked and admittedly flirted a bit with this hot guy who sat next to me on the plane. He talked with me for like 45 minutes! Had I not been married – a phone number would have been exchanged. I still got it!

The workshop was intense, but great and I learned so much about myself. To chat with all these other mothers who also home school was great and really inspired me for this coming year.

I don’t know else how to describe it but electric.

I came home ready to dive into this new journey….and also ready to make more room for me to be me out in the world. I need that and this trip helped me realize how much. It is all a balancing act, but if I put some energy into it – I know I can make it work. So dance classes for me this fall….I think so!
