How I did it
How to go on a silent retreat
It took me
5 days
It made me
feel powerful.

How I did it: I attended the 5 day "Metta for Women" retreat at Cloud Mountain in Castle Rock, Washington.  They have a beautiful facility and the teacher (Adrianne Ross) was amazing.  Read how I did it…

How to give more "notes of appreciation"
It took me
1 day
It made me
grateful.

How I did it: I bought a box of blank note cards and handwrote messages to five different people in my life.  One was a love letter.  Three were letters of support.  And one was a thank you.  I had considered sending emails, but handwritten cards were more personal and sincere.  This is the first time I have ever written "notes of appreciation," but I hope that this inspires others to do the same.  Read how I did it…

give more "notes of appreciation"
5 1 week ago

I went out and bought some cards today. I thought about sending emails, but then realized a more personal touch would be special. I just finished writing out 5 cards…

The first to my mother to remind her that she is surrounded by a community of love and support. The second to my friend who lost her father seven years ago. The third to my friend who is going through a divorce. The fourth to my partner of 3 1/2 years. And the fifth to a classmate that has inspired me to look for the “gifts” in others and send more notes of appreciation. :)
