This was one of my birthday present from Mr. possible, I have been wanting to go on a self retreat for the longest time and I got that chance yesterday! When it was time to go, Mr.Possible   was quite reluctant to let me go, he asked i go another day, the usual for us has always been to go on these kind of stuff together, so he knew i had to go, heck, he got the hotel stay for me, but the idea that he would not have me for a day was hard…. thinking about it now, i feel flattered but when he was negotiating with me, it was so hard and by the time I was getting upset and I had decided to stay, he apologised and said he would miss me I had to go.

You see, I  was burnt out last year and was on a journey to personal discovery again and I just needed that space where I would not be somebody’s mum, wife, daughter for a day at least! I just wanted to be with Obee and Obee alone, I felt like the girl I knew has somewhat been replaced with mummy or wife and all of a sudden I couldn’t find me. Have you ever felt that way?

We all need a personal retreat as ladies where we step away from our everyday life and just think about ourselves, life, purpose, how we can better for ourselves that would be good for us and eventually better our homes, our career and others. Here is the thing though, when you have that opportunity make it count!!! We may not all be able to step out from our homes because some of us, our husbands would not agree, they want to be in our every space. I am not even sure of a next retreat on my own, I  can imagine my husband saying ‘let me follow you, just retreat and act like I am not here’.

 If you  are home and you don”t have the time or money to sleep over, you can just take some hours when everyone is out of the house, take a day off work and stay at home, but go out before they are back till close of work, take yourself out to a quiet cafe, buy a coffee, even go to a park.  Be Intentional about this time, it is for you and you deserve it.
