Discounted massages available for a short time

Exciting times ahead. In early February, Open Hands Healing and Bodywork will be moving into its new studio space. Schedule with me in the next three weeks and get your one hour massage for $40. That's $5 less than the 30 minute price. Just a reminder, debit and credit cards are now accepted.

Evening times will go fast so schedule soon if that is what you need!

on a more personal note

Things are really picking up in the business aspect of my life. It feels good and right. It is also terrifying me. I take this as a good sign.

Things shifted for me while in FL. Like tectonically moved scale. The face of my life has changed and I'm not quite sure how things will ultimately shake out. Made some decisions, restructured things, communicated other things in better ways, overall good stuff going on in Amy-land.

I have set things up to pay my sales tax once a year. I will have to surpass 21 massages a month for that to have to change. I think this is an ok threshold to stay under for my health and wellness and overall focus allowed to other parts of my life that I find valuable.

( cut for financials )

It will take me a while to work my business up to the point where I am doing anywhere close to 21 massages a month but I have faith that I will get there. In the meantime I am doing everything I can to cover my bills(eeeeppp!!).

Car accident recovery continues apace. That pace being slow. There are a couple of places that are hounding me for payment since they either billed slowly or miss billed at the offset. Not so happy about that but I am lucky to have a good lawyer who is fighting for me. I kinda wish I could say I was done and recovered already but that would be a lie, or overly optimistic...

codependent

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-Dependents_Anonymous

One organization that helped me become who I am today.

I have an aversion to codependency in the same way some people have to cigarette smoke do. Hehe, my aversion to cigarette smoke is directly related to my own inability to breathe around it. Given all the people I know who have died from it you'd think ... I digress. Still, I do my best to be up front with people about this aversion in me. I think it is possible that sometimes I miss the mark in communicating just how little willing I am to put up with it from those around me.

It probably says something about me that I require people around me to be independent and communicate their needs/wants clearly. The Jeff Foxworthy bit about "I'm cold" disgusts me. Knowing that so many women out there feel that that sort of "training" is favorable and something to work towards also disgusts me.

I don't want anyone to be dependent on me to provide their self worth or really anything else like that. Especially not an adult. Hell, I require my cat to be as self sufficient as she is able to be and she is just a cat no matter how much I treat her like a higher thinking creature.

I have been labeled independent. By quite a few people. Sometimes it feels like there are no depths to how much that effects my psyche.
