She-Vivor So, what went wrong? Truthfully, nothing. All your plans and everything you did on vacation fed and nurtured your body. So why the disappointment? Perhaps what you crave is something that feeds your soul. Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn, or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude - Denis Waitley. ‘Waitley’ points us inward on our journey to happiness. Finding the beautiful in the little things empowers us to feel happiness every moment, every day. Happiness equals calm loved and energetic. So, go ahead do the research for the beautiful location, the best prices and the most fun things to do for you and your family - nurture your body. You will be surprised that next vacation you will feel rested before you go and even more grateful when you return home. Practicing these steps everyday adds to our personal vacation bank. We can use time from our bank for part or all every day. Follow Annie G as she faces her challenges - your challenges. Moments of victory, moments of awakening with a determination to never again ‘Vote’ herself out of her life. 29
