Just What I Needed

Ever have one of those moments where you find just what you need when you need it?

No, I'm not talking about how I constantly misplace my keys or have to call my cell phone. At any rate, I had one of those moments on Friday.

Thursday had been an 'off' day. We've all had them, this one was spurred a disagreement with someone dear to me. Nothing that shook the earth, just one of those days.

Friday I had to go to Maly's (beauty supply) in Indy. As a bonus from the universe, my favorite book store is just minutes from there. As I walked into Inner Path, I just felt instantly better and more centered. Having no idea what I was looking for, I just wandered. Something I do there often, just waiting to see what jumps out at me.

I picked up a book on massage, a book on reiki, and then I found it.

The Five Agreements

The Five Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz « Waking Giant Blog

I had read a previous book and keep it on my headboard, The Four Agreements and it is helpful. But lots of things are, just a matter of putting them in practice. I may not be perfect, not even close, but I do try to be the best person that I can and help those around me. Especially those I care for. As do the rest of you.

I was awfully glad for the book I needed at the time to show up in front of me on Friday. It is my wish for all of you that when you need something from the world that it shows up at the perfect time as well.

Fall's New Beginning

Sending the children back to school is always a little bittersweet. More this year than other years, possibly this summer was so nice. I hated for it to end. No big trips or anything, just a nice, calm break. I enjoyed them and our time together a lot.
Much less stress than the previous years.
As many of you know, I slowed down my schedule some early in the summer to take care of some health issues. I'm happy to say that I feel pretty great and am thankful for the patience and understanding of my family and clients during that time.
Now that I'm 'back' it's time for a new beginning of sorts for me as well. While I'm not exactly celebrating the return of the children to school I do have some plans for myself tomorrow. Starting the day with a massage from my friend Vaneesa, hitting the gym, getting a pedi and then lunch with Ang and Amy. Right after that, I'll be responsible and back to work, promise : )
It's a time for new beginnings for the children as well as we 'older' students of the world.
What are your plans?
Please let me know how I can help you look and feel your best during your new beginning.

Sincerely,
Vcikie Hildreth
