letting the ball roll

I think right now I'm having the hardest time allowing the work relationships to continue on down the path without me. I've done my best to jam a limb in every door, eyes pleading the party on the other side not to close the door on me slowly. Cracking bones through splintered skin.

One thing I've noticed is that travel de-roots my sense of continuing realty. To energetically detach yourself from the clockwork hum of one side path of life to another place in which you must skillfully re-insert yourself without jamming the second hand, dodging slippery rocks.

Which brings my attention to the first hand, which is still in the first door.

What ends up happening is you give the world the biggest hug you can while you stay stretched in pose.

If life is going to force you to pose, why not make an impact.

Dear Mr. Kon,

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to massage.  I’ve been anticipating these lessons since 3 years ago, when my older sister learned it through Health Academy.  And to tell you the truth, being able to learn how to massage is one of the reasons why I joined the Health Academy.  

On Friday, I was inspired by your massage therapists to take up massage when I’m older.  Like them, it won’t be a full time thing, but just a fun hobby on the side.  I really like massage because it heals people, and I want to do something to help them to relax and brighten their day.  

My massager on Friday was Ms. Amber.  I thought it was cool that she was also a photographer!  She was awesome.  After the massage, I felt so relaxed and didn’t want it to end.  She showed me where our lungs start, and that I should breathe through that section during the massage.  She also told me that my left side was really tense and that I should ease up on that side.  The massage was amazing.

I also thought that Ms. Karen was super nice.  Eunice, Diovi, and I were her massagers.  She was very friendly and encouraging.  She gave us some helpful tips on how to improve, and taught us the circling arm technique.

Thanks again, Mr. Kon.  I will never forget what you taught us.  Please send my thanks to your massage therapists for their awesome work!

Sincerely,
Nathaline Pilande
