Have you ever gone on a mastermind family retreat? We did at the end of January and it’s definitely going to become a family tradition. Apologies in advance – this post is picture heavy 😊 All pics in this post were taken by us.

Our first family mastermind was in Joshua Tree, California. Derek and I have visited the national park a few times but hadn’t been in almost 10 years so we were excited for the trip. Although it was well into 2018, this was our first opportunity to talk through how we plan to turn our goals into reality for the new year. My brother was also visiting from Canada so I knew we were going to have fun.

We stayed in an Airbnb home – Joe’s Retreat. Ummm, can you say beautiful? This was our first experience using the service. We were pleased with both Airbnb and our accommodations. Joe’s Retreat was just as pictured on the site and extremely clean with quick onsite support.

We stayed three days and two nights. Who knew that a local getaway could be so invigorating! Shalom thoroughly enjoyed watching rabbits, coyotes and other wildlife from the large windows in the home. Zara handled the change in environment well. While the weather was crisp during the day and legit cold at night, I was happy that we went in winter. The summer heat would be killer. We had a lot planned for our time so we didn’t actually make it to the national park but our location and surroundings made up for it.

The other reason we went was to take updated family pictures. Between Derek and my brother, we got some really great pics.

What is a getaway – local or otherwise – that refreshes your soul?

happiness is a choice not a result. nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy no person will make you happy until you decide to be happy. your happiness will not come to you it can only come from you. Life is full of happiness and tears be strong and have faith.
stay blessed and always live a happy life......

These are words to live by! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

pleasure is always mine!!!!!!!!!

To create a family enough to love. And to save - you need to learn to tolerate and forgive. I liked your post.

I agree - family is based on love, mercy and grace sprinkled with fun :) Thank you for reading the post!

We need to go there! I’m bookmarking that Airbnb! So cute. I have lived in California all my life and never visited JT. Thanks for sharing!

You're quite welcome and enjoy if you do go! There were some other nice Airbnb homes in JT, too, if Joe's Retreat isn't free.

What a lovely family upVoted

Thank you for your kind words!
