Today’s episode is a special solo episode! I just did my first silent retreat. I went to the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky for a silent retreat. I was there from Monday to Thursday. During that time, I had 3 conversations. One with a monk for spiritual direction. The other 2 were with a guy from my church. The rest of the time, I was silent. I was nervous going into it. I’m an extrovert. I love to talk to people. I’m also addicted to email and social media. Yet, I unplugged. It was hard at first. Then it got easier. Then it got to the point I was scared to turn it all back on! Ha! There are tons of learnings I learned, and I am excited to share my experience with you.
