Massage Therapy

This past weekend my best friend and I had a girl's retreat in Houston, Texas.  We planned a whole weekend on nothing but fun and relaxation.  We treated ourselves to a spa treatment which was a first for the both of us. We had manicures, pedicures, and a masage that included hot towel treatment, aromatherapy, and having our feet emerged in wax, wow! It was great! Not only was it very pampering but educational as well. They informed us on the importance of living a not only healthy but a balanced life. There were other effects that stress can have on you that I wasn't aware of like acne and painful menstrual periods. This is definitely something that I will try again

Beyonce's Babe

There has been a lot of talk about Beyonce and their new bundle of joy. Security blocked off the floor, taped up security cameras, and practically reserved the floor during their stay at the hospital.  I do agree that the couple should have the right to have and enjoy those private family moments that we all value. But my question; is it crossing the line and invading others rights and private time with their loved ones? Any comments..

Determination Inspite of the Situation

It amazes me that most of us that were set up for success makes up every excuse not to make it work. And the more odds a person has against them, the more determined they are to succeed.  At work I had a call from a customer that was mentally challenged, and his level of determination and independence really touched my heart. He was home alone, and called in to fix his phone. I don't even think he could read, but he used pictures and colors so that I could assist him.  Even when someone entered the room that could help him, he continued on instead of asking for help until  we solved his issue.  I heard a local pastor say, "Success is measuredbby how well you take what you were given, and make the best you can of it." Inspite of his situation, he was determined to succeed. I was inspired by his motivation.
