Pamper Me Please!!

Greetings!

So it's been a minute and I am feeling blessed today which just happens to be my birthday!

So in honor of pampering and taking care of oneself - this is a reminder to treat each day special, whether it's your birthday or not! I am so blessed and thankful for my family, wonderful friends, and my sorority sisters.

This has been a trying year and I swear I had no idea how much stress I had until today. If you have a family, work, relationship..all these things can take a toll. Someone told us women years ago "We can have it all." I think they forgot to mention it comes with a price.

In order to make sure the price is not comprising your health - both mentally, physically and spritually - spend some time pampering yourself. Let go of the stress. Get out and get active. Learn to manage it.

I've learned this year I cannot do it alone. Seek out friends, family, church. Do (or find out) what makes you happy. Figure out how to de-stress.

In honor of figuring it all out... today I went to my favorite spa...(check my other posts if you need to know!) and had a 1/2 of pampering. I had 90 minute massage, and 85 minute reflexology. The technician advised I was so stressed...it took me almost 1/2 to reflex...then finally fell asleep! :)

I then had a dinner date - good food and great company :) I was determined to keep my great attitude all day long. So what I learned today - and hope you do too..is that it is not what happens to you...but rather HOW you react to what happens that matters.

My motto has simply become "You can't pray and worry at the same time." 50 Cent.

Until next time....

Ciao
