A Bit Of This & A Bit Of That
Things have been pretty good most of the time but today I just felt like I needed to get some things down in print.
When the reflexologist I was seeing just up & left the business I panicked & couldn't begin to think how I was going to replace him. I mean reflexologists can be a dime a dozen but the skills they actually have are another thing. Stefan was super experienced in Eastern medicine & beyond reflexology did Reiki, Body Talk & several other practices.
Well I lucked out - the clinic did get someone to replace him, someone who knew Stefan really well. This guy (Matthew) is unbelievable. When I arrive we talk for a bit, then start with a deep breathing meditation, then reflexology, then Reiki & the other day he did this Crystal Bowl Attunement therapy. It's a practice where special types of crystal bowls of various sizes are used to help your body adjust it's natural bio electrical rhythms to be in better balance hence affecting your overall well being.
After Stefan left I did try another clinic for reflexology & for one hr it was $60. Matthew, for all he does for me, charges $45 & it's a little over an hr.
I'm sure if there were alot of people that read my journal alot would think I'm a bit weird (thank goodness not too many people read my journal) but this monthly treatment always acts as a fine tuning & just really keeps me on the right path to wellness.
Christmas will soon be upon us & I find myself wanting to do way more then usual for the underprivileged around my life. It's way more then usual somehow & at first it puzzled me but I have to admit it sure feels good. I wonder if I maybe had some gentle nudgings from our Lord.
I did 2 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, where you take shoe boxes, pick a girl or boy & an age group, then buy stuff for the shoe box. They are distributed to suffering countries around the world where kids might not ever have Christmas. I did a girl & a boy & it's so much fun. I got soap, pencils, notebooks, pencil sharpeners, candy, some balls, small toys & a few other things. I'll post a pic soon. This is put on by the Bill Graham Foundation.
And, our biggest Christian Bookstore is having an underwear drive in December for the city's biggest Mission. People so often bring clothes which is fine of course but people need clean underwear also & no one ever thinks abt that so today I picked up some mens & ladies to take down.
I also gave money at the church last Sunday to put towards food for the city's soup kitchens/missions.
I still sure wish there was more I could do but I guess who knows right, you never know what might cross your path, maybe more good I can do.
I'm still having some energy issues & sleep issues but not as bad. Matthew & I talked abt that & I think he focused his treatment on that too. I've finally gotten to a place where I'm not kicking myself on days I just can't function too well. I'm accepting it (SO FAR) & not letting it frustrate me, at least not too much.
Well I think thats it for now. To those who might take the time to read this, I love you dearly for that, may our Lord grace your life with his goodness.
