Untethered Soul
I have spent the last two days alone in the woods with nature. I experienced the “untethered soul”. I wondered how to write about this awakening without cheapening the beauty. I hope to write about the get-a-way to remember the events and archive pictures. That will come. For now, in short, I wanted to express…
A unique stay
Parish and I love runaway therapy trips. They are quick trips to get away and do something different! I receive the daily Gottman Institute emails.
