✨ Kindness deserves to be honored.
Starting in August, I made a quiet vow: to offer a free massage to anyone who truly moved me with their kindness and authenticity. Today, I met someone who did just that.
My granddaughter had a haircut appointment with Ashley McGuire. While I waited in the car for a bit, I eventually stepped inside and was greeted by a friendly gentleman who mentioned he was disabled. He was pleasant, and his presence added a gentle hum of humanity to the space.
But what truly caught my attention was Ashley. As she worked, her smile radiated something rare—genuine warmth. Even while answering the gentleman’s questions, her energy remained calm, attuned, and deeply empathetic. She checked in with my granddaughter throughout the haircut, asking about the length, the shape, making sure she felt seen and heard. And then, with such grace, she told her: “If you ever style your hair and it doesn’t feel right, just reach out—I’ll fix it for free.”
That kind of care isn’t taught. It’s soul-deep.
So I asked Ashley if she’d ever had a massage before. She said yes. I smiled and said, “Wonderful. I’m a massage therapist, and I’d love to offer you a free massage in September—because you have such a beautiful soul. Just contact the The Wellness Cottage crystals and schedule your appointment”
Thank you, Ashley. Keep shining that radiant smile and spreading your kindness like glitter—it sticks to hearts in the best way. 🌟
