Yesterday, my neighbor Margaret looked at me after borrowing sugar, smiled a lovely wisp of a smile and said to me, “I’m so glad you’re right here.”

She walked back to her front door, steps from mine, a piece of me melting in her sugar bowl.

I’m so glad you’re right here.

I contemplated immediately driving to get this tattooed on my body and then remembered I had nachos in the oven.

I’m so glad you’re right here.

The simplicity of closeness. The value of proximity.

Right. Here.

And the warmth of knowing someone values you enough to want you near.

My friend, I want you to know I’m so glad you’re right here.

Love, Celeste

Rogue Retreat registration is closing March 31st and we only have TWO rooms left. Who wants them? We have been so excited to serve our amazing group so far. We will be starting zoom calls the first Sunday in April so we can get to know each other and really hit the ground running once it is retreat time. If you are on the fence, now is the time to make a move. (We have financing up to 6 months interest free available!)

I’m interested!
