My Veterans Story:
So this past September my husband and I were blessed to go on a trip to the Dominican Republic, thanks to the generosity of his employer and my husband's hard work... love you babe! On the first leg of the flight I met Joe. Joe has neuropathy and asked my husband to open his bottle for him because his hands just don't work like they used to. Now, what you should know about me is I get excited about words people say... like neuropathy... because that triggers a host of ways I have been able to help people however, it's 4:30 am, this person is a stranger, it's a pandemic and I cannot just grab strangers! So we all board the plane and, lo and behold, Joe sits across the aisle from me and HE strikes up a conversation...Joe is a veteran, on his way to see family and his hands hurt all the time. I gave him my card and told him about reflexology...and then we were told our take off was going to be delayed a bit...so I offered him some hand reflexology.
Long post long, we reached across the aisle and I did reflexology lymph drainage session on his hands. Afterwards he kept looking at his hands, making fists and saying, "that was incredible, my hands don't hurt!" We didn't talk anymore after and when we got off the plane he thanked me and we went our separate ways. I thought a lot about Joe and our veterans and about the health care system and challenges they can face.
About a month ago I received a postcard from Joe. He thanked me again and said he hoped that I continue to introduce myself to strangers and tell them about reflexology because I really helped him. I cried when I read his postcard, he had sent it from his time with his family and that touched my heart.
And so, thank you Joe for encouraging me to do what's in my heart. In honor of you and all the veterans, active military and first responders in my life I am offering a discount. In addition, on Veterans day, I am offering free consultations from 9am to noon.
