Earlier this summer when I was in a really bad place my friend and yoga teacher was over for a restorative practice. I mentioned to her that I was getting a massage that day, hoping that would help. We go to the same place for massages.
Well, I get to my massage and am talking to my massage therapist who I have known for awhile. i was pretty much pouring out all this crap.
After all that she said "I really wanted to wait until we were done but I think it would help to tell you now. Erin called ahead and paid for your massage."
I was so surprised and so very touched. My restorative yoga, massage and surprise did help. It put a smile on my face and still does.
