Creative Entrepreneur Retreat - No.1

Okay kids, the blog's back on.
I'm going to just override the need to fill in the gaps between July and today and just start talking about what's happening here and now.
(Some journaling on the plane to get revved up before the retreat...)
First up, I just got back from the most amazing retreat ever in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I spent the week with 9 other amazing women and our fearless leader Lisa Sonora Beam at the incredible Hacienda Mosaico. I wrote somewhere that time and space for creative work is the ultimate luxury and now I know it to be true. I don't even know how to begin to describe the week- it was so chock full of color, laughter, inspiration, and "aha" moments. Not to mention the incredible experience of spending the week with some of the smartest, funniest, most caring and inspiring women I've ever met. So, I will just start with the where and move on from there.
View out my airplane window- it's Mexico! Can't wait to get on the ground and check out Puerto Vallarta.
Outside the walls of the hacienda; even from the outside, you can tell it's going to be full of life and color.
The first of the stairs leading up to the studio. How cool is that?!
Beautiful! Can you believe this is the view out one of the windows in the studio- how could you not be inspired here?
And this is the outdoor kitchen (by the pool!) where we were served a delicious breakfast and lunch each day by Sam (the proprietor), Alicia and the rest of her wonderful staff. It's also where Sam would make her amazing margaritas for us each evening upon request. I didn't want to leave!
Aaaahhh, what a lovely view before bedtime. More to come!
xoxoxo,
