Breathing Space: Mini-Retreats for the Heart and Soul

Since 2008, I’ve been sending Breathing Space e-mails inviting women to take min-retreats into the oases of their own souls. I collected my favorites into a single beautiful book that will be available next week and I can’t wait to share it with you!

The following is the introduction to Breathing Space: Mini-Retreats for the Heart and Soul:

I woke up in 1992. It was a shock to discover that I’d been sleepwalking through the first forty-six years of my life.

And even more shocking, once I’d awakened, I realized that I had no idea who I was, what to do, or where to turn. Or even what to ask.

Coming home to myself—my imperfect, beautiful, enlivened, authentic, passionate self—has been a bumpy ride, one filled with surprises and lessons and often requiring more courage than I knew I had. I still continue to learn, sometimes the same lesson over and over (and I really hate that!). Sometimes I am still foolish enough to think I know where my life is taking me —and that’s when I know I’m the most lost.

A Woman’s Way and the books I’ve written have been my way of giving back, of providing other women with a safe space to find themselves, of providing other women with some guidance and tools for awakening to an authentic, meaningful, and passionate life.

Breathing Space has been a joyful experience for me since its inception as weekly mini-retreat e-mails in 2008. From the beginning, the women who received the e-mails have shared how these mini-retreats have infused their lives with inspiration, hope, and guidance.

This book is a compilation of my favorite Breathing Space mini-retreats, one for every week of the year. It’s my sincere hope that they assist you in creating some breathing space in the middle of your frenzied world and provide you with an awakening to your heart and soul.

I share them with you in the hope that they enrich your life as they have mine.
