Note from Dawn and Taryn: We met Kelly in August, 2014 when she attended her first retreat with us. She has since become a close friend and a leader in our community. We are so excited to introduce her here and in the not too distant future will welcome her as a... by Dawn Nickel | Jan 7, 2017 | Authors, Dawn Nickel, Events & Gatherings, Recovering Out Loud
She Recovers has invited ten of the most popular female bloggers on the internet to attend She Recovers in NYC in May! These recovery superstars were chosen to participate because they are all making such important contributions to the cyber recovery movement. Importantly, these fabulous friends share messages that easily align with the principles and the messages that She Recovers has been focusing on for the past five years. We are strong and courageous women, and we do recover.

I love New York. Which was a bit of a surprise to me when my mom (Dawn) and visited the city for the first time this past June. I don’t have much experience with big cities so was kind of worried about the trip. I certainly had no idea that the 5 days I spent in New York would be as inspiring and life changing as the 30 days I spent in Bali last winter.

We just wrapped up our 8th She Recovers Retreat a few weeks ago here in the beautiful Riviera Maya, Mexico. As always – it was a week of joyful connection – with our “selves” and with each other, with our “breathe” and our “bodies.” We all need a Sacred Pause in our busy lives, and that is exactly what our retreats have come to be for the women who join us – some who return retreat after retreat.

I had a tea party tonight. My house overflowed with recovering women from my extended circle and my kitchen table didn’t have a square inch free of mostly healthy snacks, quite a few gluten-free and vegan because some of us eat like that. We had five little kids hanging about (well, one was a wee baby so he mostly hung off of his mom) and one teenager. Towards the end, a beloved woman who is closer to 80 than 75 these days dropped in. She is a dear soul to all of us.

Today is the day. After months of love, sweat, tears, writing, and playing with photos – the new She Recovers website is born. She Recovers is my passion project – and has been since I created the She Recovers Facebook page in July, 2011. My purpose here, as it is on the Facebook page, is to create a space for recovering women to visit, access resources, and connect.
