Back in 2019, I had an unbelievable opportunity to spend an entire weekend with some of my best friends. Now I had only met a handful of these besties before we all arrived on that magical Friday. You see, we were attending a blogging retreat in Melbourne, FL, hosted by The Purple Teacup.
The world can tell us a lot of things; that doesn’t make us who we are.

Retreat Advantages
There are so many advantages to attending a retreat, such as finding out a lot more about yourself. All of the benefits you can think of are likely tied back to personal development, mental health, and self-care. You need to take time to develop yourself, and retreats are the best place to do it!
- Time away from your personal life
- Learning sessions to enhance your interests
- Wellness opportunities.
Authenticity doesn’t mean you have to share everything with everyone.

Retreat Sessions
Several sessions were held on Saturday for our bloggers to learn all about Mindset, Twitter, and SEO. I took away something from each of the speakers, and I spoke all about using Twitter for promoting your blog. Our other blogging retreat speakers were Mandy Burnett, Sandy Brantley, Hope Hanson-Baker, Jamie Makin, and Michelle Bradley.
People are waiting in the dark with you. Turn on your light and share it with others.

Product Launch – Now what? Planner
One of the biggest surprises and probably most anticipated moments of our weekend was the product launch by Jamie Makin. Jamie launched her brand new Now What? Planner! This fantastic digital planner is perfect for everyone because you have the power at your fingertip to customize it any way you want!
