I completely understand how summer is not like it once was when we were children...

We may anticipate it with the same glee & excitement,

but often times it arrives sooner than we can anticipate

(like, I understand it's the same time every year,

but it still sneaks up on me, am I right?).

And let's get real, real.

For most of us, summer only comes with

more complications once you become an adult.

No:

summer vacation with

3 months of sleeping late,

playing games,

exploring,

or laying around

watching tv

half the day anymore.

Now:

We have chores,

and responsibilities,

and errands,

and appointments,

and JOBS,

and some of us even have tiny little armies,

of destruction & distraction,

that we created ourselves.

These armies come with summer camps,

and summer reading assignments,

and sports teams,

and playdates.

ALL OF THAT,

is BEFORE you even have to plan,

coordinate and

pack ALL THE THINGS

for ALL THE PEOPLE

(except maybe a husband

& any capable-ish teen children, if you're lucky)

to head off on a "fun" & "relaxing" FAMILY vacation

(which in mom code means stress & chaos at least half the time).

By the time the 4th of July rolls around you are half sad & half relieved

that summer is half over and, half of you feels bad for feeling relieved.

Am I right?

 BUT you still haven't taken any real time for yourself

to enjoy that beautiful & sacred summer

that you anticipated with such childlike joy...

Darling, I feel you! On ALL-OF-THE-LEVELS! I feel you!

THIS is precisely the reason I decided to design this

3-Day virtual Dazzling Daze of Summer Retreat. 

I'll guide you back to the Dazzling Daze of Summer!
