Massage Therapists have it hard. I once had a young girl come to get a massage from The Peppermint Room. She was so enthralled with the idea of "spa life". "Everything's so nice", she said. "It's so peaceful and smells so good. I wanna be a massage therapist too." I had a very candid conversation with her. I was trying to see where her heart was. I explained, "You have to really care about people to do this job because it's not always pretty." "Are you prepared to deal with the not so pretty side of massage?" I started naming some unpleasant scenarios. One scenario included washing smelly feet. Her face turned upside down.
"Yeah, nevermind." She said. "That's exactly what I thought." I said to myself. Everything that glitters ain't gold my love.
What we do is truly from the heart. As we don't turn people away for not knowing any better. We serve and we assist even when it's hard.
