And, we also get away once a year for 5 dsya for a girl's weekend - this is an absolute must.<br /><br />I'm not sure where or who I would be without my girlfriends. They are priceless to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-37673270511218600142011-04-19T11:19:06.394-07:002011-04-19T11:19:06.394-07:00I just spent a weekend at a women's conference...I just spent a weekend at a women's conference (a bit more than a retreat, but fabulous nonetheless)and although there were 200, we all felt as one as we got to know each other.<br />It truly is a marvelous experience to bond and share with other women.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339405331797773251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-27210269716631577062011-04-19T00:01:52.872-07:002011-04-19T00:01:52.872-07:00Thanks, everyone.

I have to say, I am pretty sure that it will be the women in my life who get me to the finish line! This retreat was so easy - I just picked a date that worked for me, and put the date "out there." It was easier than trying to get consensus on a date, let me tell you. I feel quite certain that we have started a tradition. Not the first women's retreat tradition I've started...now that I think of it. Two friends and I used to head out to my parents' acreage every winter while they (the parents) were down south. That setting didn't have ocean views, but it was lovely nonetheless. It's the company that counts. Oh. And the food.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277751616587900015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-38633242409480102502011-04-18T16:44:54.283-07:002011-04-18T16:44:54.283-07:00Absolutely beautiful♥Absolutely beautiful♥Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640080709868893088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-39515373221808842612011-04-17T12:07:25.516-07:002011-04-17T12:07:25.516-07:00There's nothing that can compare with the kind...There's nothing that can compare with the kind of understanding and support we can give and get from our women friends. I didn't realize what was missing from my life as a newlywed in my 20s. Now, approaching 48, I heard myself counseling my oldest daughter (28) that as a woman matures, jealousy, insecurity and perceived competition can make way for rich bonds. So glad you had this experience, Dawn.Scrollworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761198237613139398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-86355497203134900142011-04-16T10:14:33.042-07:002011-04-16T10:14:33.042-07:00How lovely.

It seems that self-care like this is one of the hardest things for women to do. Maybe we need a national "Women Go on Vacation Month."Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-63091231476415785732011-04-16T05:36:39.075-07:002011-04-16T05:36:39.075-07:00I've been thinking a lot recently about the wo...I've been thinking a lot recently about the women in my life and how important they are to me as well.
