great ideas! i enjoy hearing the multitude of ways people can treat themselves. it's not easy for me to accept such things but we all deserve and need a little TLC in whatever way it comes. i wasn't necessarily planning on using any specific idea mentioned, but a massage resonates. it's been 10+ yrs since i allowed myself that luxury, partially due to guilt with the self perceived over indulgence, and partially due to a fear that those petite, white towels would fail to adequately cover me mountainous girth! joking aside, my mind and body are just beginning to recover from years of neglect, but i'd like to put myself out there. the hard part will be finding a space and therapist that possess the right energy for me. but, what the hell, i deserve it!
