When a group of midlife women come together there is usually a story to tell. Whether they chose to share or not, we still shared a lot. There were tears but there was much much laughter. We all enjoyed a few good meals together whether they were around my dining table or out.
We experienced Yoga Nidra together which I wasn’t going to join in for fear of it being a bit too woo woo for me and guess what I LOVED it (I think, I may have slept, you are not supposed to, but I think the little snore was from me).
Reiki, Massages, the trip to the market was a highlight and the full day cooking and quaffing with Emma of @lamaisondurire was an absolute hit.
The ladies decided that a visit to the must see fairy city of Carcassonne was their last day wish and then back home to pizzas and Footloose (the night before was Top Gun..!) although some of the young 'uns, ie 51 and 53 year olds, carried on drinking outside their gites under the stars from my rapidly depleting honesty bar!
They have ALL said they are coming back so my October is fully booked.

"I keep asking myself did that week really happen? Then I reflect with smiles and laughter and realise yes it really did! What an inspiring thought provoking week it was thank you to our tribe and of course x"
"I am thinking that we didn’t just open doors together to the possibilities that #midlife holds, together we blew them clean off their hinges. @honestlywithhonor - you completely pulled off a remarkable week which we will be on a countdown to repeat! X"
"Last week I stepped out of my comfort zone and stepped into a #magicalmidliferetreat hosted by the wonderful @honestlywithhonor
It was more than I imagined it would be; full of joy, laughter, the occasional tear with a little bit of mischief in between.
Here’s what I gained:New friends, new experiences, new adventures & lifelong memories, an inch or two on my wine waist, a new discovery & love of lucques olives
Loved the amazing women on this trip. Midlife women really do rock."
