the unexpected should always be expected..Day #1 Belize

Laughter is all I needed to hear....The first day of my first retreat didn't quite go as expected. Our flight from Miami to Belize was stuck on the runway for an hour and then unable to land in Belize because of rain (really rain?! not in the plan). Stress...not all of the girls were on the same flight and we were all supposed to take a commuter flight to the island. Now we were landing in Cozumel and refueling. Not the plan. A very long day nonetheless but finally we arrived at the resort. I needed to take my own advice and breathe. And then the laughter....the sound of these women I brought together, bonding. It was all I wanted and needed. I planned this trip , this retreat to help women find a supportive space to breathe and be. And we were here.

The road is not always paved and the journey is often rocky. I know that sounds so cheesy and cliche but it is so true. I had put so much time into planning this first retreat. The travel day could have paralyzed me, and I almost let it. What I realized is I created so much unnecessary drama for myself! I projected the worst, that everyone was frustrated, disappointed..

but then the laughter.....nothing is ever what it seems....
