Your Exquisite Destination!!

It would be so easy to believe this gorgeous, picturesque scene was in Italy. But this one-of-a-kind Villa, built in the 1930s by Italian artisans is not only all-encompassing, but it is also infused with wonderland beauty and is rich in history, located in easy to get to, centrally located, Mineola, Texas, just East of Dallas.

The Villa sits on 55 acres of beautiful hills, peaceful lakes, and scenic trails, providing an awe-inspiring experience.

This amazing treasure-find location is abundantly rich with nature and the organic life of water, trees, gardens, plants, and animals that run free.

It’s no accident that healing and melding of past and future will happen here when you understand that Italy is called Old World because it is one of the most ancient countries in the world, yet it is today one of the most alive but true-to-itself places to visit. It holds dear its history and architecture, yet has healed and grown and flourishes in both an old and new world.

This perfect location promises to gift you with the same!

Can you think of anything more healing than nature and all its sights, sounds and smells amidst an overwhelming, graceful beauty kissing you with well-being?

You are walking The Villa’s grand open spaces boasting of bodies of water and fountains that promise to flow with healing power through both your body and soul. In truth, water is the most powerful healing and life-giving force on earth. It’s why everyone loves to be anywhere besides, on or in it, and pay premium prices to do so.

You’ve never tasted water so pure, invigorating and healing! You will have the chance to experience the ancient, healing, natural mineral waters that abundantly flow on the property from the fountains to the pool, to the showers!

You have before you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step into this Old World and bring the precious of your past into your VIBRANT NEW LIFE, and to explore and thrive in the exquisite paths now set before you!!!

You will need to remind yourself that this is not a fantasy!

You walk into the loveliest gazebo seemingly one with the beauty surrounding it, offering relaxation, sitting for quiet visits, meditation or journaling, and even enjoying refreshing snacks. It also serves as a sanctuary to butterflies symbolizing the wings you are gaining.

Come On In!

The hospitality matches the magic. You feel well cared for and provided for by the incredible hospitality, generosity, kindness, community, and culture! It dawns on you that you are worthy of it all!

No kind of loss or heartbreak can change that!

 

Sleep has never been so sweet as you wake up to bright sunbathing the day. Awareness and life energy are electric and wildness is unleashed with every hour, silencing oppressive lies around loss, the past, grief, impossibilities, and age.

Queen size beds and luxurious bathrooms wait to comfort you. This illustrious Villa is eco-friendly and chemical-free.

Count me in!

Mouth-Watering Cuisine

The gourmet cuisine is exquisite, tantalizing all your senses – such as the succulent California Marinade; The yummy Butternut squash with Toasted Sesame; The tummy pleasing Cauliflower and garlic hummus; and the surprising Bammie Cakes.

The healthy choices nurture your body as much as your soul, prepared by our own private chef. And not to worry, there are yummy vegetarian options available.

And don’t forget the delectable desserts!

Most meals will be enjoyed on this magnificent patio with plenty of yummy, laughing, relaxing, bonding, and oh, yes wine.

Meals and intimate little gatherings can also take place in the pleasant, perfectness of the vast grounds, whether in the lovely gazebo, amidst the columns, or even waterside.

Our Journey

Afternoon stretching yoga connects the wellness of your body to the stretching of your mind and soul.

The physical and mental release of breathing and stretching brings a refreshing sense of freedom and wellness. You’re still wondering if it’s possible to move past what lies behind, yet you are connecting it to a glorious future.

You sip a refreshing drink as you laugh and enjoy bonding with new friends. The freshness flows through your soul like rain on a garden.

You feel a daring for your soul to live in these fresh, fluid, open spaces.

After a delectable evening meal, all gather to share from ignited souls as the sky slowly transforms its light into mesmerizing, vibrant colors and you realize this is a picture of what can happen in your soul.

Dreams are your lifeline to hope

It is a perfect, gorgeous morning as you are gently guided through healing meditations, emotional release and the truth about grief loss and resilience. Hope for your dreams is ignited.

You are caressed by abundant beauty as you walk the grounds finding a quiet place to journal about the shifts that are renewing your soul. The words flow, describing all you are seeing and feeling.

You enjoy observing the animals and wonder about the way they so easily exist on this earth. Their beauty and simplicity are magical as the donkey seem to be looking you in the eye, the beauty of the swans seem to be saying, come on in, float with me.

You then know that among many choices to spend free time, today, it will be a renewing swim in the magical, mineral waters of the pool, allowing the wholeness of life float over and around you.

The plethora of healing options certainly don’t end there.

 

Take your body, mind, and soul a step further!

Treasures are now weaved into your being, changing the structure of your cells and how they thrive in your body.

The afternoon brings with it bright colors and an array of soft brushes and creative tools. You now understand that the creative juices flowing are the healing, freedom, and expression of your soul.

With your own hands, your soul comes to life in a physical form.

 

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures. ~Henry Ward Beecher

With every stroke, there is no holding back. The healing art is kissing every tender place of your heart. It’s time to make a creative, energetic imprint, syncing your soul with your new life. It shows you what to let go of and what to hold on tight to.

Once again, a nourishing, delectable meal does not disappoint. With a sense of joy, united souls linger under the sweeping colors of the setting sun. Each soul is forever touched, eyes beholding each other’s creative expression of healing.

You will never be the same.

My Beautiful Friends,

I know loss!

I know heartbreak!

The journey can be long and hurts in ways that escape words.

However, my soul hurts when I think of how much vibrancy and magic is sacrificed because, well, it hurts too much. And there is no one to walk with you who get’s it and knows how to walk through, or guide you to the truth.

I think the hardest part is not feeling like you can be open and authentic about the pain and struggle. It was one of the most shocking things for me: the blank looks; the judgmental comments; the get-on-with-it attitudes. The truth is, it’s not about you, they really don’t get it. And that’s OK!

This is why with all my heart I offer this time of retreat. I want to journey with you on this path to ignite your vibrant, new life – NO MATTER WHAT! It really is possible!You deserve to discover a sisterhood that desires the same joy and wholeness you do.

You deserve to be nurtured, body, mind and soul, by tender guidance and the magical beauty of nearly every form of nature.

This Texas location offers you perfect weather to enjoy, heal, rest and discover the possibilities just waiting on you, offering all you’ve ever dreamed, right alongside the painful past.

It would be my greatest honor to spend these healing days with you and gain a new friend to connect with on a soul level. That is one of the most healing things that can happen to our soul and future.

Without a doubt, it takes courage to choose a journey of adventure you know will change things up.

What is courage?

Let me put it this way – It is the brave choice to act from the Strength and Power within the Heart. Courage is an asset you gain through overcoming life’s biggest challenges.

You deserve it and I want to walk this brave Journey with you!!!

Please don’t pass up this opportunity to LIVE!

Banish any excuses that cause you to choose the little things determined to override and convince us to sacrifice the big things, the choice to live the life you alone were meant to live.

My passion to guide women to LET YOUR GLOW SHOW was ignited after being hit with heartbreaking loss, and finally seeing clearly that my inner light had been shadowed by living my life for everyone else, sacrificing my own well-being, curiosity, desires and joy. I became a Certified Life Coach in 2007

When life first became heavy with heartbreak, I instinctively returned to my love of writing and began to write my first novel, FIREFLIES, about two women who had to face the truths of false beliefs and found the courage to do the hard stuff to live the life they wanted. Because the publisher went out of business, the book is not presently available on Amazon but can be purchased at RuthieLewis.com.

After several traumatic punches, I eventually resumed writing my book, eventually finding a publisher. Only a few days from turning in final edits, my worst nightmare showed up with a knock at the door. Two officers informed me that my daughter had been killed in a car accident.

My world crashed, changed forever.

Struggling to even breathe and take the next step through the day, I was faced with a choice when I read, “To let your dreams die because someone you love dies is to let your soul die and turn one tragedy into two.” I was faced with a choice: crawl under the covers and die – whether physically or spiritually, or live – LIVE to the fullest in honor of my daughter.

I am proof that you can build a new life more vibrant than you can ever imagine and it’s why I continue to spread my passion.

Declutter Your Soul

It’s true. The process of decluttering is not glamorous or an enticing spiritual practice. We would much rather have things disappear or have someone do it for us; however, that’s not how it works with our souls.

Our life and soul are ours and ours alone.

Discover practical ways to declutter your soul in this complimentary ebook.
