Radical self-care is vital not just for you, but everyone in your world. What sorts of radical self-care have you practiced? What’s your favorite?

Remember how much we looked forward to our summer breaks when we were kids? All that free time to be outside and carefree. Now we have responsibilities that keep us far from carefree all summer long, but we absolutely can and should find time for ourselves. It isn’t selfish. It’s necessary, healthy and world-changing.

Radical self-care is one benefit of attending Cycles of Life Women’s Retreat next month. If you’re in the area, I’d love to have you spend a day away from all your routine responsibilities and take a break to clear your mind in a beautifully maintained private, lush yard. It even has a pool. Come meet like- minded women and enjoy yourself.
