Iftar - daily sunset meal to break the fast during Ramadan.

04/11/2023

Ramadan Mubarak!
After hearing about the benefits and purpose of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan from a good friend who is Muslim, I decided to experience it for myself. Today is day 20, with 10 more to go. Among other sacrifices, no food or drink including water from sunrise to sunset every day. It’s a chance to slow down and deepen one’s empathy, kindness and compassion towards others, to increase one’s generosity to those with less, and to restore focus on one’s religious (or spiritual) practice. Today I visited a local mosque for the first time as I wanted to have a fuller perspective of its importance to the Muslim community, and to connect with others making this same sacrifice. I was greeted warmly and made to feel more than welcome. It’s been a very positive experience so far and a reminder that you don’t have to travel far to expand your horizons, experience other cultures and grow. True religion is simply goodwill towards others.

Happy Mother’s Day to my best friend and all the other countless mothers that graced our lives!

May this next adventure be filled with as much love and joy as the last!

Do no stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the light on ripened grain.
I am the autumn rain.

When you wake up in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of birds circling in the flight.
I am the stars that shine at night!

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

Sadly during COVID-19 quarantine I had to put my practice on hold. I’d like to give a shout out to for loaning out equipment to its members during the shutdown.

A good little article. Always feel free to speak up during massage if something doesn't feel right.

I like deep pressure, but is there ever a point where the work could be too deep? Do I ever pose a hazard to myself by getting deep bodywork?
