What would you do if you could do anything for yourself? That was a question asked in a recent women’s group I attend. I was completely stumped! I hadn’t given much thought to doing anything just for me in years. But it made me think.
Recently, our oldest began her freshman year in college. The next two will be grown and out the door before you know it. Then what? It really is time to begin to process what I want to do for me. I remember as a young woman, I enjoyed being outdoors and the peace that came with being outside. I loved spending time with friends. I enjoyed trying new things. I am not an invincible young woman any longer, so what does that mean for me now?
Then I realized, it is all right here in front of me. Virginia State Parks is offering the 2nd Women’s Wellness Weekend the last weekend in September at Westmoreland State Park. The whole program is designed to help women, like me, to gain the basic knowledge and experience in a variety of topics. Normally, to try a new activity would require the purchase of equipment, but who really wants to do that when you may hate the activity? At the Women’s Wellness Weekend, the equipment is provided, class sizes are small enough for one-on-one instruction and the weekend is full of new confidence building experiences. At Westmoreland’s program, there are even classes to help women identify and handle basic car and home maintenance issues.
If trying new things, building your knowledge base and meeting new people sounds like fun, come and join us at Westmoreland State Park on Sept 25 – Sept 27. For more information on this exciting weekend go to www.virginiastateparks.gov or to make reservations call 1-800-933-7275. Hope to see you there.
