Well, I've finally had time to breathe and reflect on the retreat. I am SO grateful to have been able to meet new friends, new co-writing partners, and hear some incredible songs. There was such a spirit of comraderie, not a hint of pride or competitiveness (except during scrabble!), and some amazing writing. And look what one week has produced! Two cuts! WOW. I came home more committed than ever to writing my heart, writing more than ever, and to nurturing the wonderful relationships that I now have with people all over the country. Thanks to everyone for making this such a special weekend.

Gina,
I love your thoughts here. The LACK of arrogance and the ABUNDANCE of mutual respect and encouragement was what made the retreat so special. I feel like when ANY of those songs get cut, we ALL win! Go team!!
I agree completely, Allie, and loved the "family" feel of the weekend. Maybe because we were all there together, trying to do the same thing, there was such a connection to those songs, for me, that when I heard about those cuts, I honestly got as excited as if I'd written them!
