46 years of friendship deserves more than one beach sunset - but sometimes that’s all life lets you squeeze in at the moment. So when it does, you make the most of it because even one night can leave you with a lifetime of memories. 💞

The women who said yes to themselves are not only entered into a drawing for a free room at the , they are also getting a beach towel and a bag to carry their books.

Do you know what they won’t be carrying October 23 - 26? The weight of the world and everyone else’s problems!

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to say YES TO YOU, this is it. Come for the swag. Stay for the reset.

When I saw this post about Leos from empowerwomenclub_ , I almost didn't repost it because women are taught not to shine any light on their strengths - and then I realized that's exactly WHY and I created Pages & Passports.

As two Leos (Aug 6 & 7!), we are drawn to warmth, connection, and creating experiences that leave people feeling brighter than when they arrived. We believe in celebrating others, dreaming boldly, and creating space for every woman to shine.

So if you want to be a part of something that will remind you to believe in yourself, join us for Pages & Passports(and yes, there will be plenty of SUNSHINE!)

After almost a month of not being able to read, I was finally able to read a whole book this weekend and I don’t take that for granted. So grateful for the doctors, insurance, family/friends, and a job that allowed for a successful retinal reattachment and recovery - allowing me to regain what makes me, ME! 📚

And the first book I read included a quote about “West Michigan nice” - a sign? I think so!

Take care of your health, friends! It’s fleeting!

Everyone likes a good before-and-after transformation. But the best transformations aren’t always about what you see on the outside.

Pages & Passports changes you. Not because you become someone different, but because you remember who you are when you finally have space to breathe, rest, laugh, read, and simply exist.

Somewhere between turning pages, slowing down, and letting someone else take care of the details, you reconnect with the version of yourself that gets lost in the everyday.

Because sometimes getting away isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about finding yourself.

Contrary to popular belief, women aren’t complicated.

When it comes to a vacation, their list of wants is pretty simple and boils down to a few key points - uninterrupted time and having to make zero decisions.

That’s exactly why we created Pages & Passports - because women deserve the kind of vacation they really (really!) want.

Which of the top ten is your number 1? Tell us in the comments and then visit the link in our bio to book the vacation that gives you all 10 in one click!

As former educators, and I know how crazy May can be. Primarily a month of lasts - last concerts, last projects, last day of school.

And somewhere in the middle of taking care of everyone else, women put themselves dead last.

So this is a reminder for just a minute to put yourself FIRST - to say yes to something that is just for you.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to register for Pages & Passports RESET retreat, this is it because the LAST day of May is the LAST day to be entered to win a free room at the

When the calendar flips to October, you’ll be happy you said YES to yourself today.

Odds of getting four days of uninterrupted me time at home? Zero

Odds of getting that AND your room comped at our Pages & Passports retreat? 1 in 10 (yep, with only a few weeks left to enter, we’ve increased your odds!)

As Effie Trinket in the Hunger Games says, “MAY the odds be ever in your favor!” 📕🗡️

Book your room by MAY 31 and you’ll be entered to win. But even if your name isn’t called, you win because you’re choosing yourself for once! 📚🌊🌴☀️
