💓💓💓 video credit to Something about working side by side with other massage therapists is so healing to me. Learning new techniques from each other, while exchanging loving healing touch in return. Ah 😌 The more I know, the more I realize there’s SO much left to learn in the world! I’m here for it!

Oh fifth water hot springs. You do it again! And SNOW!!! First snow of the season!

This was a beautiful day! ❤️
I loved watching Lucky run up and down, playing in the snow with that sense of joy and FREEDOM!

*If you’re thinking of going, be sure to bring spikes under your shoes and bring a head lamp! A rescue team was there to help a lady who slipped and had hurt her ankle. It was slippery in several areas.

“I didn’t realize how much tension I was holding in my jaw until we released it, and I could finally feel what it’s like to live without that constant pain. I thought ‘Is this what a normal jaw feels like?!’ I couldn’t believe the difference I felt after our session.”

Follow up appointment today one month after her first session when she reached out to me seeking help for pain in her TMJ and neck, and headaches.

Message me if you’re interested in setting up a TMJ consultation to try a new approach.

“I know I can do an adequate job!” My mantra this week while I change my thoughts to change my reality. In therapy today, I shared how I am scared to make big, real commitments (I.e. committing to a strength training program) and I want to understand why and how to change it. Our THOUGHTS create our FEELINGS which create our ACTIONS which creates our REALITY. I told him about this moment last night where I had to stop my initial immediate thought right away, and swap it for a new one that then let me FEEL more CONFIDENT!

Neither John, nor I, have fixed a broken dishwasher before. Here we are, with residue being left behind on my bowls and plates after they just finished a cycle in the dishwasher. I realized I was waiting for John to fix it because I assume it’s his role, his job, to fix this. Somehow I assume he has done this before, he is better at it, he is the male, therefore, he’ll do it. He isn’t more capable than I am, however, he is often willing to TRY. He tried. And now I’ve tried. I watched three YouTube videos, I’ve sworn three times trying to get this one plastic doohickey back into its original spot, and shout “finally!” when it sinks into place! 💪 Now John and I both can appreciate this beast of a machine- the cheeky little bu**er it is! And we’ve both put in time and elbow grease to appreciate one another’s efforts!We shall see if this works, or if we gotta recruit outside help and/or try the next thing!

We assume we know, but we don’t.

I observe as I follow behind my mom walking back to the parking lot after finishing hiking Jenny’s Canyon in St. George, Utah:

I hear hikers say “Hello!” “How are you?”
and “Beautiful day, isn’t it??”
to my mom as they pass each other in opposite directions.

I wonder what they think when she doesn’t respond.
She walks past them, lips zipped.
Legs moving. Boots stepping. Hiking poles pole-ing.

Do they assume she is just a grumpy woman ignoring them?

They don’t know, they couldn’t know just from looking at her that
she is deaf.

My mom walks past them without responding.
Silent.

Because she didn’t hear them in the first place.

When their eyes meet mine after passing her, sometimes I say hello.
Sometimes I tell them she’s deaf and I’ll tap her shoulder to have her turn and interpret for her through sign language.
Sometimes I’m quiet as well, despite hearing them.

My mom didn’t hear any of those friendly hellos from passer-bys,
and probably doesn’t know it’s a common social norm in the hearing world to say hello as you pass one another hiking.

I wonder what she was thinking about in those moments instead?

It makes you think.

We assume we know, but we don’t.

I.love.cats. I arrived to this fave home girl’s house for a quick cupping appointment. She laid down, and approximately 13.86 seconds later, Chip the kitty jumped up and settled in. 😸🩷

I was having a weird morning after a weird, cold night of not-sleep sleep. It is officially COLD in the mornings and at night! I went to turn on the heater in my RV before a massage and it wouldn’t start up. I scrambled and found a tiny little space heater and gathered up all the warm supplies: hot stones, heated eye mask, electric booties, etc and we got it heated up!! So this is your public service announcement to check all those things BEFORE you need it to work for you. 😅 Also, a surprise bleed for me today a few days early- beautifully lining up with the Harvest Moon which was GORGEOUS this morning. 🤌🙌🩸 Time to go make some warm soup!
