Time is limited. We budget it according to what we think is important. Work, getting food on the table, giving time to causes we care about, and spending time with people who need us are important all year around. In December our time budget gets further squeezed with extra baking, socializing, decorating, gift purchasing and wrapping, all potentially joyful activities…until the common element in all these activities—you—gets squeezed so dry the joy evaporates. Take time this season for you.
Put yourself at the top of your time budget for a few minutes to breathe and perhaps gaze out the window, firmly pushing away that mental to-do list. Slip into a yoga class, or read a couple of chapters of a book, maybe one that reminds you that the best you have to offer the world is a whole and healthy you. We would love to see you in the Salon and lavish you with attention and beauty (we even have express options for mani, pedi and facial,) but if that has to wait for now, just remember that we are here and rooting for you, and wishing you all the joy and blessings of the season.
