I am preparing to take off on a new journey inside. For several years I had yearned to do the Spiritual Exercises, a 30 day Ignatian retreat at El Retiro in Los Altos, California. But while teaching, preparing to teach, and learning what to teach, it never fit into my summer schedule. Now that I was retired there was time, but I could no longer get to El Retiro for 30 days. Then it fell into my lap. My friend, Nancy told me about an at-home retreat that was sponsored by Santa Clara University. It is an hour of prayer a day for 9 months along with weekly spiritual direction. So I am taking off on an inward journey. I know it will be enlightening, joyful, painful, and difficult. I also know that I will be a fuller, more complete person when May comes. Pray for me.
