I've learned over the years that one of the best things I can do for myself is to have a massage once a month. Once it's booked I don't have to think about scheduling it again and I never get to a point where I'm longing for a massage. If you're anything like me, my calendar dictates my life. Appointments are my lifeline and I always check my calendar before I say "yes or no" to any event. A pre-booked appointment is not only something to look forward to, but it actually makes my life easier.

It may sound funny, but at the beginning of the week of my scheduled appointment, I find myself day dreaming about it. And one of the first things that comes to mind is that moment when I crawl onto the table into the warmth and the softness of the sheets. I know for the next 60 or 90 minutes I am going to be cradled in pleasure. The music, the aroma, and of course the sensation of touch just warms my soul.

The last time I had a massage I decided to indulge myself and booked a Hot Stone Massage. Have you ever tried one? It's totally delicious!!! The stones are heated in a basin of hot water and then they glide over your muscles in such a way that the heat just sinks into your body. Any stress that you carry just seems to melt instantly away. It's totally relaxing and wonderful. I always feel very well cared for when ever I receive this treatment.
