Each retreat is unique based on the women who participate, the topic, and the weather. Here in Ohio, the weather does not always cooperate, but we know how to make lemonade out of lemons. A Finding Purpose Today retreat was held on Saturday, April 1 in Bay Village. It was the first time this topic has been presented in person as the mini-retreat was developed during the first year of Covid as a way for women to gather in community while not being in the same room at the same time. The weather at the beginning of the day was cool, but the sun was shining. A great way to start a retreat. My hope was for an outdoor scavenger hunt during our lunch hour, but about fifteen minutes before lunch the skies turned gray, the wind started blowing, and then the rains came. As women, we know how to change directions, to find a new way. The day was special for those in attendance even without our outdoor time. Here’s hoping the Lakeside retreat weather treats us better at the end of the month.
