I have been thinking about taking a personal retreat since
shortly after Elijah was born. I was so sleep deprived that all I could think
about was sleep, glorious sleep. In those early days, I am sure I believed that I was
never going to get to a full 8 hours of sleep again. So I told Paul that once I
was not pumping anymore I wanted a night away by myself.
Eventually, sleep became more of a regular occurrence in my life. So,
the idea of getting away for the sole purpose of sleeping sounded a bit crazy.
But, I really liked the idea of time way. The more I started thinking about a
retreat, the more I realized I wanted a time that purposeful in relaxation and
refreshment.
So, in typical Charity fashion, I put together a plan, really
a 4 page proposal. I wanted to have something to guide my time away.
