In other news from NextTribe Global Headquarters….

Jeannie Ralston’s adventure to South America began in Costa Rica yesterday. She’s looking at three resorts as possible hosts for a retreat in 2027. The one she’s staying at today near Nosara is a true wellness resort—no sugar, no additives, completely organic food. Plus, an option for medically-supervised cleanses that repeat guests here say make you feel years younger. Hmmm. She likes the sound of that!

Jeannie Edmunds is holding down the fort in Austin for another week and a half until she heads out on a short trip. Details to come next week. Her big purchase arrived from Morocco, an antique mirror that originally hung in a Berber Kasbah, (as in “come with me to the…”) with coral and turquoise accents and camel-skin in the frame. Fortunately, Dave approves.
But as someone on her Morocco trip says to her husband “I appreciate your approval but don’t need your permission!” Mic drop.
Enjoy the reads!

Jeannie Ralston says “We all need a light jacket for the spring—if it ever gets here (looking at you in the Northeast). I love this long denim jacket from Chico’s because denim will go with everything and the longer length means our bums are covered—always a good thing.”
