“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
~ William Jennings Bryan
growing the new
I met someone very important today. It wasn’t an ice covered Nandina, but it’s pretty, isn’t it? Let me back up. Last Saturday I spent five hours clearing the fence of my neighbor’s unwieldy growth. Of course it made me sore, but it got worse as the week went along. By Wednesday I was moving like an old woman, so Doug Boyd recommended massage therapist Jennifer Ernst. She couldn’t see me until today. She was totally worth the wait. The problem might not be my back, but my guts not adjusting to my missing gallbladder. After an hour and a half of intense therapy, my guts felt better than they’ve felt since before I had the surgery, and incidentally, so does my back. It’s this kind of attuned therapist that’s incredibly hard to find. I suspect Jennifer is good in part because of her spiritual acumen. We had an incredibly fulfilling conversation, not just about physical wellness, but spiritual alignment as well. Too few understand how connected the two are.

As if my day couldn’t get any better, it was cousin Saturday. We usually do breakfast, but for the holiday we chose to exchange gifts and do appetizers. I came away with a full belly, loads of laughs, and this beautiful picture (thanks Zoe!). I even played a little drums for fun. Yes, this was a very important day, and one I am incredibly thankful for.
