Massage or Knot

It’s cold outside but Harper Lee is laying on her heating pad and having snacks.

Be like Harper.

It’s been a year today since we worked together. ⁣
⁣
This week is also the 26th anniversary of me being a massage therapist. ⁣
⁣
What say we give it a test drive and see how we feel about moving forward with our relationship? ⁣
⁣
Let’s see if we can be of service to the good folks of Roanoke, Virginia. ⁣
⁣
Onward. 🫶⁣

Surgery went great and I have my nurse with me. 🐈
All is well. 🙏🏽
Thank you for sending good ju ju! 🫶

Happy Galentines Day! 💜💜⁣

*SIGH* 😑😑⁣
⁣
Tibialis posterior tendinitis. ⁣
⁣
Tendinitis in the tendon that wraps around the ankle, bottom of the foot and into the calf. ⁣
⁣
0/10, would NOT recommend. 🤬⁣
⁣
Crazy painful 😖 but hopefully will get a cortisone injection tomorrow to help the inflammation and pain so I can begin physical therapy very soon. Because at this point, alllllll of my curse words would be used on the physical therapist assigned to me. 🤦‍♀️⁣
⁣
If I haven’t already reached out to you about your appointment this week I’ll be doing that very soon. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been told that meds and physical therapy helps tremendously and I’m hoping that’s the case! ⁣
⁣
See you soon 🤞⁣

Sitting here, bored at home, since The Hubbs has covid. 😐🥱🦠 ⁣
⁣
Saw a few people do this and thought I’d give it a try. ⁣
⁣
The first panel shows the books I enjoyed last year. My very favorite book was 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 by Shelby Van Pelt! 🐙 ⁣
⁣
The second panel are my favorite podcasts. ⁣
⁣
I’d love to hear the books and podcasts you enjoyed in 2023! 📚 ⁣

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰! 🎇🎊🎆⁣
⁣
The year is starting off……interesting 🤷‍♀️😆⁣
⁣
Mr. Massage or Knot (aka Steve) got covid over the holidays. I banished him upstairs so he could keep the 🦠 to himself. It remains unsure if I’ll get it but we’re giving it a run for its money. We’ve done pretty well being this is his first time getting it. ⁣
⁣
To the clients that are scheduled this week, I’ll be contacting you to reschedule your appointments. ⁣
⁣
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my business being a success once again. I appreciate you and am so glad to see your face when you walk through our front door! ⁣
⁣
I’ll be back when we both get at least 3 negative Covid tests.⁣
⁣
See you soon! 😷⁣

Today is the shortest day of the year and we begin to have more light in our days. ⁣
⁣
Here’s a few ways to celebrate the winter solstice:⁣
⁣
🌲 Surround your yourself with candlelight tonight 🕯️ ⁣
⁣
🌲 Enjoy some light yoga 🧘 ⁣
⁣
🌲 Decorate an outdoor edible tree for the animals to feast on ⁣

May there be miracles this season.
Happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate. 🕎

This is so important.
Make your holiday season what YOU need it to be and not what everyone expects you to DO.

LET YOURSELF REST

If you’re exhausted, rest.
If you don’t feel like starting a new project, don’t.
If you don’t feel the urge to make something new,
just rest in the beauty of the old, the familiar, the known.
If you don’t feel like talking, stay silent.
If you’re fed up with the news, turn it off.
If you want to postpone something until tomorrow, do it.

If you want to do nothing, let yourself do nothing today.
Feel the fullness of the emptiness, the vastness of the silence, the sheer life in your unproductive moments.

Time does not always need to be filled.

You are enough, simply in your being.
