So I did


It's no surprise if you've been around here, well, ever, that I'm in a major funk (read: so depressed that if I get out of bed and wash my face it's deemed a successful day). It totally sucks. I'm sick to death of it. I'm sick to death of forcing my friends to listen to me cry and complain 24/7. I'm sick of crying and complaining 24/7, I really am. And I am trying my damndest to pick myself up and get back on my feet.

It's damn hard y'all.

 I have good days and I have bad days. My heart is broken, my soul is broken. And I keep getting my little heart hurt--I go full force into everything I do, and it backfires approximately 99.99% of the time--awesome. So, that's where I'm currently living. FML.

After a few days of dreaming about a Mexican surf weekend and then debating just going home for a few days (which, no), I was pleasantly surprised to see a travel discount email in my inbox this afternoon labeled "Yoga and Healing Wellness Retreat". This is exactly what I need!!
I mean, wellness, healing, YES PLEASE SIGN ME UP. It's like going all Eat, Pray, Love, but, without going to India--which I'd love to do, but, not yet.

So. I'm going here


At the end of the month.

Might be the most stupid and spontaneous thing I've ever done. Only for a few days--just enough to get in some tanning, some yoga, some meditation and some off the radar relaxation (no internet at the retreat!). I need to shut off my mind, and shut everything and everyone out-- just for a little bit. (don't worry, I still love all y'all, it's not you I'm shutting off!! Promise!)

I can't wait.

Hopefully I will come home with a full heart, a rested soul and a new lease on this brilliant life and we're all so lucky to have. It's my turn to take charge of my life, wipe the tears and LIVE.

Oh girl, you go get that vacation. Unplug, relax, don't do anything you don't want to do. We love you over here in the blogosphere, and lean on us when you need it. I'm always here for you. MUAH.
