After my dad passed, my mama asked if she could get a bicycle. We purchased an adult tricycle with a basket…she toured the neighborhood at 85 years young taking gifts to her neighbors. She said to me, “Oh, I just love the wind blowing in my white hair. And when I come around that corner, you know, I just coast right into my driveway!”
My husband and I now both have bikes. The treks went with us to the beach just last week. I experienced the wind in my hair and the coasting into the driveway of our beach condo. I remembered my mama…
Such a retreatful moment out of time. Come…retreat with me!
Where’s your bicycle?
Create your retreat moment right this very minute!

This is such a great reminder, Sharon. My retreat moment is walking in the woods–especially when there’s a slight breeze. And I love kayaking on the river. Oh such self-care bliss!
I love how you supported your Mom in realizing her retreat moment. What a great daughter!
Retreating is a state of mind, huh Coach Sharon? what a beautiful way to remind us about turning moments into truly meaningful ones that link to our core memories. Thank you for saying so.
Ah, Lee and Helene, there is nothing more important for a woman than to retreat herself! That oxygen mask can show up in many creative ways. We just have to slow down a moment and listen to the whispers. Thank you both for your kind comments!
