Introducing the Live Like a Goddess Summer Tour

Fellow Goddesses,

I’ve been writing articles for Live Like a Goddess for over a year now. The recurring comments I get when I teach a Mediterranean cooking class, give a speech, or write an article is . . . “I love the idea of a Mediterranean lifestyle, BUT I don’t really know how to apply it in my life.”

The other thing I always hear is “OMG, I would LOVE to go to the Mediterranean!”

Well, here’s your chance! Beginning Summer 2016 there will be a Live Like a Goddess Tour to get your Inner Goddess into full swing.

7 Days, 6 Night tour of Cyprus (the Mediterranean Island of Aphrodite)

July 30 – August 6, 2016
