....a
place where everyone understands what you're going through....a place where
you can be alone or be with others. A place where you don't have to remember
anyone's name or care what time it is when you feel like taking a nap......a
place where the temperature is always "just right"....where every pillow
stays cool all night....in other words, imagine the Minnie Pauz Retreat!
For
now, it's just a vision, but with all of us visualizing the same image,
we can make it happen. You can print out your own copy and display it somewhere
that you will see it every day....and someday you will see it in reality.
In the meantime, here's some places you readers sent! Thanks for sharing!
Sending this for the "retreat page"
you mentioned in the newsletter. Castle Lakes, CO.... Jennifer Oh
wow...look at those chairs by the lake! Beautiful..... Dee
My husband and I visited Crater lake
in April and I have decided it is THE most beautiful place in the world.
It is the place I see now when I close my eyes and take a breath ( you
know those times). Martha in NY Absolutely gorgeous,
Martha....Dee
This is a picture that I took at one
of our local city parks here in Edmond OK, in the winter of course! I thought
it would make a great "Cooling Off" picture. Love you news letter! Lorraine
Definitely
a "cool" place, Lorraine! .....Dee
My happy place is along the Riviera Maya,
Mexico. Warm sands, amazingly aqua blue water....take me away! Sandra

YOUR favorite picture that "Takes you away"!
| Hi Dee....great photo
of the retreat! Oh....to be there now (in warm temps of course!)....getting
a massage, and sipping on a frozen marguerita! LOL Oh well,
that is my visualization!
Just wanted to let
you know, this thing about visualizations.....when I was diagnosed with
clinical depression in 1995, I was told by my therapist to "go" to my "safe
place" when I was feeling overwhelmed. My "safe place" was a walnut
tree that hung over a pond in our high pasture. There was beautiful
green grass all around, and once when I went up there (for real...not visualizing)
I dozed off under the tree....I awoke to find two does walking over to
drink from the pond.....apparently they did not know I was there, or did
not sense any danger from me. This is what I would visualize when
things got to be too much for me to handle in my life. Now, years
later...I am no longer depressed...no longer on medication for depression
(I still think it was a lack of hormones that caused the depression in
the first place...I think I was going through menopause but since I had
had a ptl. hysterectomy and had no periods for many years, it was hard
to know, and the doctors told me I was too young! I was having all
the symptoms though, and did eventually start HRT.) Sadly, we sold our
property several years ago, but even now, I can close my eyes and see my
beautiful, safe place.
Thank you for all you
do for us gals in the "prime" of life! |
Wow....have I found a place for you! I
know this LOOKS like it might be an ocean, but notice the pine branches?
This is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.....the Keweenaw Peninsula and
it's my new favorite place!....Dee
