I Can't Believe I Did This - Would you EVER?!

I was getting divorced and my life was crashing around my ears - and I decided to do the unthinkable...I took 2 weeks off and went to Costa Rica.Alone. Without my kid. Without my computer. Now, this may not seem crazy to you, but for a single-mom, almost divorced, self-employed work-a-holic, taking 2 weeks to just go hang out in the rain forest was pretty far fetched.But I had support from my community of friends I met through (Ariel & Shya Kane's workshops) and I took the leap. Two weeks away changed everything.I came home refreshed, grounded, and revitalized - more than that, I was truly in love with my work again, and I was truly in love with my son again.Yeah, these were tough secrets to admit - that I was losing my passion for my work, that I was overworked and not taking good care of myself, and that I was getting so fed up (especially as a single parent) that there were weeks I couldn't wait for the Dad to come take over for a few days.I learned the value of self-care in a way that I hadn't really understood until then.Like my family from Texas always says: If Mama ain't happy, no one's happy. In a few days I'll be leaving for Costa Rica for my second 2-week R&R adventure. With supportive people I like, who are excited to help me be my best self, with no duties or agenda, without my laptop.And I will come home stronger, loving life, and healthy. Isn't that what true health is?(Don't worry, my son will be with his Dad globe-trotting and learning everything about being a producer/director while splitting his vacation at the BBC in London and Sundance in Utah.)
