All love must begin from within. Before you move on to the next post, hear me out for a minute. I know that it’s often the hardest to love yourself or let yourself be loved. While there may be moments I personally feel on top of the world (damn girl, your a badass 💪🏼 ), there are just as many moments when I am at the bottom of an emotional valley 😔 . No matter how you may “feel” in a given moment, if you can't take steps each day to love yourself it's impossible for you to do the most important work of your life: to send your love out into the world. This exercise is a constant work in progress; a muscle that always needs strengthening. I'm willing to practice every day for myself, I'm willing to watch myself fall and pick my butt back up again and keep trying, no matter what. There are many uncertainties but one thing is for sure: nobody needs you as much as you need yourself! Celebrate our OWN LOVE this Valentines! 💜💛💚🧡❤️

I have always admired the many bird species in the world that mate for life. A little research on this romantic notion and it turns out it's not as true or as lovely as one might think. OR is it? Maybe our flying friends have it all figured out. Some birds do stay together for life, and in this partnership, they grow together even as their relationship may shift over time. Some birds are extremely loyal for a certain period of time, like parenthood, and then they move on and find another mate to grow old with. Others have extremely romantic relationships in their younger years and then their relationship shifts to something social and become more of a friendship. And so instead of idealizing love and romance, let's all remember to simply love LOVE for what it is, and celebrate when we have it and find as many ways as we can to send it out into the world. This Valentine’s day, love who you are with and who you have in your life, near and far.

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph! What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love those that can smile in trouble, those that can gather strength from distress and grow”

Love these words, thanks Tommy ;)

Is it actually possible that I have started to see the light at the end of this dark tunnel?? In less than a week, I received my covid vaccine and watched history take place with the transition to the new administration. I felt hope and excitement for the first time in many, many, many months. I keep thinking of a lighthouse: A source of direction and support; a beacon for sailors lost at sea. As a business, massage has often been thought of as a luxury, a treat, an indulgence, or at its worst a cover-up for sexual scandal. When we were trying to re-open our doors along with Phase 2 there were so many roadblocks. The county was calling us "massage parlors" placing us on the bottom of the list to re-open and sending a clear message that they did not find us legitimate. But we know this is far from the truth, and appreciate the recognition that has come from our work during this pandemic. We had an outpouring of help, hundreds of clients called and wrote letters, explaining to the county that we were health care providers essential in many people's pain management and much more. It was a battle. In the end, we were triumphant. Massage is a wonderful luxury and indulgence with so many health benefits. We are a service of peace and a source of hope and stability for the mind-body and spirit. After so many years of fighting off the constant demeaning propositions, we can place ourselves in the category of health care, essential workers. I was honored and excited to get my vaccine under this category standing beside so many other health care workers. This is a victory. And I know there are is only more we will be able to celebrate in the coming weeks.

I think we all agree this past year has been a challenge on many levels. One of the things I have struggled with over and over is acceptance. I can think of at least a dozen scenarios where I did not want to confront reality or accept circumstances for what they were (or are). The major one was the pandemic. It took me a long time to get on board with the severity of what this virus was, how significantly it would disrupt our lives, and what would be needed to shift. At first, I let fear take over. Before long, I could not sleep, could not breathe, and could not stop my mind from running through the possibility of loss on every level.

Hanging on by a thread, my mind continued to race: how was I going to stay open? I feared the loss of our wonderful community and panicked over the demise of all the small businesses that had worked so hard to build and grow. Instead of looking for opportunity or hope, I was paralyzed by loss and doubt. I snapped myself out of it and began to reinstate practices to recalibrate my thoughts: daily mantras, prayer and meditation. SLOWLY, I accepted this new reality. I learned that thru embracing the present moment, however difficult it was, brought sleep, ease, comfort, joy, and growth.

The resistance of the truth only holds us back. There is a fear that once we accept or even acknowledge the reality it could bring hardship, pain, etc. but in truth what I have learned from this year is that with acceptance comes greater understanding and movement. You can grow, learn and then shift your perception. When I was rejecting the truth that this virus was taking my business, the fear of losing all that I created, was debilitating and depleting. Not only for me but for all those around me. There are still tough days and it's hard -- and often painful -- to grasp that which we can't fully understand but I know that I can access peace and serenity when I accept instead of object.

I know we will rise again, and I will not accept any other reality.

The last week I have longed to escape. As an eternal optimist that believes we can find the good in each day, this is a rare and unfamiliar feeling. This pandemic has robbed so many of so much. And as it's peaking, perhaps at its worst, the challenge to find any silver linings or even a glimmer of hope is dwindling even for this positive girl. To then be hit with the sad and horrible truth that so many in our country are consumed by anger, racism, biases, and worst of all... HATE is depressing. On days like this, when I want to escape, I know to keep my own sanity I can always turn to my many blessings: my Ohana, my daughter, the many who I love and who I feel love and acceptance from. Today, I choose to escape to love. I choose to wrap myself in the beautiful, comfy love that I have received over all the years of my life. As my wise and wonderful father reminds me on a regular basis: All that matters in this world is Love. Today I choose to be the love. I invite you to do the same: to escape and surround myself in the love and spread it to smother the hate.
