* whom I adore.

Here is some info about it. If you’ve ever wanted to try a retreat but aren’t quite ready to leave home and go into a strange environment, this is the retreat for you. I was one of the teachers last year and I can say that the way Jen has structured it really gives a feeling of being on retreat. It was very inspiring and people learned a lot. You go, Jen. Plus look how cute she is.

You know the power of retreats and you also know you can’t be inspired or give birth to your creative dreams if you are depleted, exhausted, or run by fear. Recharge your inspiration and find your self-confidence again -with 13 other world famous teachers without getting out of your pj’s. Best-selling author and long time retreat leader – who wrote the Oprah featured book, The Woman’s Retreat Book, has created a Valentine’s Day weekend VIRTUAL RETREAT designed to give your creative heart a boost and your mind a rest.  You can participate in all 13 mini-retreats or dip in and out because all the sessions are recorded and transcribed – allowing you to get the renewal you need on your time table, without travel or hassle. The retreat includes a free e-book How To Retreat to help with fear and finding the time, gentle ‘get ready’ emails, a private blog for support, plus 13 heart expanding mini-retreats.

Downtown Wichita in the rain

Beautiful & flat

Completely strange shopping mall with some kind of play area with gorilla. I cannot figure this out. But thought the gorilla looked pretty cool coming through the mist. Gorilla in the mist, Kansas-stylee.

Drive became extremely foggy at one point. Kind of cool.

Prairie moonscape.

Mountains rising up on the road to Boulder.

Video interview from the road with the beautiful Erielle. She discusses her broken heart and what helped her to find a way to stay better.

It’s my response to the Brit Hume & Bill O’Rellly vs the Buddha flap.

Here it is. I have no idea if it went well or poorly at this point, but I really liked my outfit.

If you’re here looking for more info on The Wisdom of a Broken Heart and how to deal with the extraordinary situation that is heartbreak, please go here. And remember–no matter how awful it feels, something wise and good is also present.

Scheduled to appear on CBS Early show tomorrow (Jan 5) sometime between 8a & 9a to talk about heartbreak and how to deal with it. I think Maggie Rodriguez is doing the interview. Will try to post link to video. Wish me luck…
