retreat!!!!
Well, I guess it's technically more of a convention. Not that it really matters. So this weekend I will be traveling to sunny Cincinnati for an all expenses paid (by me) three day and two night stay at the luxurious Woodfiled Suites. (I think it's actually the Woodfield Suites but that is how it was spelled in the email and thus it shall remain.) This is the locale for the annual Crosswalk Fall Convention this year. As a Six Step gal I am required to be in attendance. I must say, at first I was reluctant to go. Now I'm anxiously awaiting my departure. What spurred on this change in attitude? Things falling apart, of course! It's not that I don't miss my Six Steps buddies dearly, I just had a to-do list I didn't want to let go of. With a little encouragement I laid aside my school work and job related responsibilities. Although I don't feel ready, off I go. Off to leave behind my family, several friends, and my church family for a weekend. Off on a break from the crumbling mess that is my life. Whether I'm just blindly running away or seeking a stable refuge I can't say. All I know is it's truly amazing how much you can hurt for your own good...
