Has it been this long?

March 14th, 2008 by Donna

I can hardly believe how much time has passed by since my last entry.  It just seems like it’s been one continuous day.  I returned from Miraval (www.miravalresort.com) feeling energized and ready for everything and then some twists and turns we call life decided to give me another jolt.  You know what I mean……house challenges, feeling overwhelmed and the list can go on.  That’s why I feel so strong about taking a break from ‘life as we know it’ and sometimes it’s just about taking a long drive to clear our head or going to your favorite cafe for a long cup of coffee or glass of wine or better yet an hour at the gym – that seems to do me the most good. 

I’m ready for another 3 or 4 nights away just to regroup, how about you?  

I will send you more details, however there are some great specials going on at many destination spas and if you’d like to know more, give me a call.   For instance, Green Valley Spa (www.greenvalleyspa.com) is offering a Bring a Friend special and it’s quite a savings and with spring around the corner, what a wonderful ‘renewal’ for many of us.

Miraval has some specials as well as Canyon Ranch (www.canyonranch.com), Red Mountain Spa (www.redmountainspa.com) and Lake Austin Resort Spa (www.lakeaustin.com).  Take advantage of what I can offer you and send me an e-mail if you’d like.  Many of you have e-mailed and called me about mother/daughter getaways as well as family reunions (mostly the girls…) and long time friends wanting to catch up on each other’s lives.

Whatever your reason, there are ways to escape and get back that energy. 

Have a great day and I’ll do my best to not let so much time pass.  My goal has always been to write you daily and just like all of you, life challenges come up and sometimes we just can’t do it all.  We do our best and hope that the next day will be better. 

A spa vacation is more than just a pampering experience.  A spa vacation offers tools to help with stress management, healthy eating, fitness and so much more.  I know that I’m a stronger person because of the journeys I’ve taken and that is my hope for you.

Thanks.
