Honoured

Yesterday I received a phone call as I got out of the shower, an acquaintance/friend of mine who has a natural healing clinic and school (they offer a variety of massages and colonics) called and asked me if I would be the model for the class they are having for Hawaiian LomiLomi massage... hmmm, let me think about this a minute.... of course yes!

When the class resumed after lunch it became evident that one of the students was having some difficulties: 1) due to a physical disability he has difficulty with movements and 2) he was having difficulty with the instruction (possibly a learning difficulty related to the cause of the physical disability?) So, I began to try to re-teach the instruction and slowly he began to understand. (My friend who owns the clinic/school had suggested that I may do this to keep the frustations down... furstration isn't good for massage)

Today my friend and the instructor both thanked me repeatedly for helping, and the instructor told me that I was a "blessing" to her in the class... I feel so honoured yet humble. It isn't often that I get the opportunity to tie my teaching profession skills with my massage profession (I don't get an opportunity to practice massage very often.) Again, I am wishing for a little more time in each day so that I could pursue my massage therapy instructor's license.

Today I am grateful:
1) that I have friends who think to call me to share such wonderful opportunities
2)for the wonderful organic, vegetarian lunch we were provided
3) for my baby girl who greeted me with a smile, and cried for my attention when I got home today
