Two weeks ago I jumped on a plane and set off for my very first International trip devoted to both work and play.

Coincidently (or not so coincidently) it was ALSO the three year milestone since attending the very first retreat that changed everything for me. From marriage, to parenting, to divorce, to infidelity, to same-sex love,…
