Athena - USA - Weekend Retreat

When one of my closest friends, Kumari, texted me with a last minute offer to spend the weekend in the mountains I couldn’t resist. Never mind my super long to do list for my last full weekend in Chapel Hill. Hanging out in the mountains? Of course I’ll go. So a quick packing job and a five hour drive later, I found myself in Skyfall, GA to said hello & goodbye to a friend I won’t see for another six months. Like me, Kumari is in a place of trying to figure out her next step professionally. An amazingly talented surgeon, Kumari is evaluating what to do after finishing her fellowship next year. So when she invited me for a quiet weekend in the mountains, filled with hiking, eating, and some quiet time to pray for guidance I said sure. I’d missed out on several opportunities to go to the mountains earlier this year, so I was excited to finally get there.
