Laura Kyser Callis on Confessions & Coffee

I have not gone on any non-required retreats, but I have been able to sneak off to coffee shops for blocks of time - such a win! we are out of the little kid stage, so now it's just about me making time. I think indulgences help to mark time as a "retreat" - work retreats generally have good food, coffee shop "retreats" for me include a cup of coffee shop coffee and sometimes Halloween/Easter candy I've pinched from my kid's stash. I've also done retreats with my colleague; we do a lot of writing & research together and we are so productive when it's just us in an empty classroom. I hope you get some "retreat" time! Such a nice post.
