For the past year-and-a-half I’ve been on sabbatical, what I like to call my own personal self care retreat. The truth is, I had to retreat. I needed to find myself again.
The day I was hauled off to the hospital in the back of an ambulance was the final straw. It was time for me to take my self-care to the extreme, something I had been teaching my clients to do for years.
So I withdrew from the world for a while. I shut down my websites, put my coaching business on hold, I turned down the volume on what felt like an extremely loud and busy life and I began to listen to my heart again.

My life has changed in so many ways this past year. I have broken through barriers that I never thought I could. I had already been working out with my husband, John, for over a year when I hired a personal trainer to help take me to the next level, and she did! I’ve worked hard physically and spiritually. And I can’t wait to share more with you!

Hi Vicki.
What a great story. I would love hearing from you
Thanks Pauline. I’ve been journaling most of my life so blogging is a good expressive outlet.
I’m looking forward to staying connected. By the way, it was so much fun (and quite amazing) to run into you in the mountains 2 1/2 hours away! Life has a way of bringing wonderful people into our lives in unexpected ways.
We all need to take time off from life’s hectic events . don’t apologize your back and that’s what matters.
Thank you, Debbie. I continue to work on life balance. 🙂
Inspiring blog Vicki. I need to find my motivation.
I so get it! It took me awhile to get motivated to do anything this past year. It took everything I had to stay on track with my health goals. I think it all comes down to priorities. Thank you so much for your comment. Just a spark of inspiration is all you need to create the momentum to really get motivated. So you’re already moving forward! Glad we can share the journey together. ❤❤❤
Hi Vicki ~ WOW! I can’t believe how time flies by. I smiled when I saw your name pop up here. I’ve thought about you a lot and miss our get-togethers at b&n. I would love to hear about your “new” life! Always in my prayers.
Peace!
PS It’s ALL good ; )
Cyndi! Hi there. I’ve been thinking about you too. We have got to get together and catch up. So much has happened. And I love watching what you’ve done with Wild Outdoor Women! You are an inspiration. 💕❤🚣
