The idea for a women’s
retreat all began last May. May used to
be a great month for me. It was all
about celebrating my momma, Sheri. She
was born May 9th and with
Mother’s day always the 2nd Sunday of May, this month was positively tied up in warm
feelings about her. Well four years ago
on May 21st, after a valiant
fight with cancer, my sweet momma went to heaven. So now May is a bittersweet, happy, sad,
melancholy month.
Well this past May as I was sitting in my silky robe eating chocolate mudpie ice cream right out of the carton, thinking about my mom and feeling a
wee bit sorry for myself, I had a thought hit me like a pie in the face, which
sounds delicious by the way since Pie is my favorite. It was inspiration that I know was sent to
me by my angel momma… You are a born
gatherer and you need to be gathering women who need other women. This idea filled me with so much joy that
I put down my ice cream spoon and picked up my notebook to jot it down….
…and after taking a very unscientific Facebook poll about
women’s retreats for older, women, I realized there were many other
50 somethings out there who need connection and camaraderie; who want to Serve,
Observe, Uplift and Love just like me.
I call them my soul sisters.
Thus was born…. Soul
Sisters – a place for Fabulous Women over 50 !
Why over 50 you ask?
Well…………I won’t be checking birthdates and ID’s at the door….but the
over 50 part is to let anyone who wants to come to the retreat know who it’s
geared toward. It’s for the 50+, 60+,
70+ woman who needs a get away. Our
discussion topics will not be about new
mother skills, babies and school lunches, but more about staying active, helping young marrieds, aging
parents, and grand mothering.
