🍀 May the light of mindfulness illuminate everything—our thoughts, our words, our actions. With this clarity, we begin to see what truly nourishes life and what depletes it. We recognize that wholesome choices bring happiness not just to ourselves but to everyone around us, while unwholesome ones spread suffering like ripples in still water. And seeing this clearly, may we choose wisely. May we choose the path of wholesomeness, living in ways that bring joy to our own hearts and light to the lives of all we touch.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏

20 years!

Twenty years ago I began my journey as a massage therapist. I don’t know where 20 years ago Peggy thought this would all lead, but what an adventure!

A few weeks ago, I received one of the best compliments in my career when a client told me that from her first appointment with me, she could tell right away that there was “love in my hands.” That’s a compliment I can live off of for months!

All the training, technical understanding, trial-and-error technique practice, and all the other experiences in my career that have brought me to where I am with my work could never summarize what I do as well as this: when I work, I do so with the intention to offer relief, restoration, and a sense of being held.

Whatever the next 20 years brings into my life and practice, I hope that every day I have the chance to serve my community as a massage therapist, I always do so with love in my hands and the intention to bring relief, joy, and restoration into my clients’ lives.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. It’s truly an honor to have spent the last 20 years doing what I love, and your trust and support are what have made this all possible.

Don’t forget—you are the only person in your world who has the ability to discover the peace within you that leads to true healing and happiness. I’m so grateful to be a small part of your journey toward that peace and wholeness.

Thank you, thank you. Aho. 🙏

Finding peace amidst the current temperature in our country seems like a daunting task. Last night as I lit my candle in solidarity for the pain and determination that many people in our country are experiencing, I spent a lot of time thinking about what peace really means. The most important realization that has been sitting on my heart is that *there is no coincidence that the monks are walking right now!* Focusing on peace and standing up for what you believe in your heart to be right are not mutually exclusive acts. We do not need to turn a blind eye to what is happening in our country in order to develop inner peace. Instead, when we find that peace within ourselves, it allows us to take responsibility for what it is that we can actually control in our lives, which is ourselves and our responses. The struggle and pain and division in our country is not something we can or should ignore. Following the example of the venerable monks and their .usa movement by showing loving-kindness, compassion and non violence does not mean disengaging from reality. Instead we’ve been given a gift of something we CAN do when just lighting a candle doesn’t feel like it’s enough. If we all strive to find peace within ourselves, consciously and mindfully approaching situations in a compassionate way and recognizing how our perspective contributes to so much of our own suffering, that energy has the potential to spread - to our family, to our neighbors, to our community, to our country, to the world! So while we navigate the temperature of the political, economical and social climate currently happening in our world, let’s focus on those things we really can control: Finding peace within and showing compassion to those who are suffering. It’s not the answer we all want. But it’s the one thing we all can do. May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace 🙏 Aho!
