“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt
Ready for a new and daring adventure in 2025? One that you’ll feel so good about you’ll want to continue it into 2026?
A hot rock massage could fit that bill.
When winter winds chill us to the bone, hot rocks can soothe our frozen joints by sublimely relaxing away those cold weather blues. This type of massage involves stroking hot rocks on the body.
“Ouch!” you say.
But in the experienced hands of a professional massage therapist, it’s not even slightly painful. The rocks are heated just enough to offer maximum warmth to create a sense of deep relaxation. So open your horizons to yet another alternate reality because rocks rock!
And as we move forward into the new year gathering up amazing fresh experiences, let’s not forget the lessons learned from our trials and tribulations of this past year. A year of blessings mixed with challenges – some likely continuing into 2025. Let’s hope it’s more blessings than challenges because depending on the level of challenge faced, moving forward could feel daunting.
Yet by taking care of ourselves we discover more cooperative ways of being with each other. Uncovering and nourishing our own inner light helps us to see the inner light of others better too. Even though it may take some serious dusting to get that internal lamp glowing, eventually, the dust will settle, and then…
Rock on, baby – up and out!
So whether it’s hot rocks, reading a good book, checking out the local library, joining a service organization, giving your time to someone in need, or finding ways to expand upon your own inner peace – meditation, music, yoga, knitting, weight-lifting, etc., etc., etc.
In this new year of 2025,
Let’s learn our lessons,
Breathe deep,
Count our blessings,
And pause to look kindly
into the eyes of our neighbor- even Scrooge.
Sincerely wishing you a new year filled with everything and everyone beautiful. And if you happen to be someone who continues to meet up with more than your fair share of struggles and Scrooges. Or if you’re simply finding it difficult to see the beauty in anything or anyone out there –
Search within.
It’s there.
Yours in peace,
Joan
