RETREAT

WOW...it's the WOW experience that we need to get when we do all kinds of things during our life and the Casting for Recovery retreat this year was a WOW!

Great weather, great accommodations, great staff and great participants. What more could you ask for?!

There is not a better feeling than that last hug when the retreat is over and the 14 ladies are loading up to head home a completely different person in so many ways. The hugs are genuine and strong. There are lots of tears. This year I realized and stated that these 14 ladies leave their "home" cancer home and exchange it for the "retreat" cancer...because being a survivor myself, believe me, you are never, ever completely without it. The exchange is wonderful. You get to meet other survivors very much like yourself. Talk about it and feel about it in a completely different setting even though it is still the cancer.

Two for 2011!! Lots to do, lots of fundraising but next year...28 women instead of just 14!!!!!
