New words and waters, for a new season

September, is often seen as the month of new beginnings. There’s school starting, courses to sign up for, and the leaves changing colour. For many, the new season also means it’s the time to think things through again, or even consider new directions.

Words to live by

WHO you are is what makes you special. Do not change for anyone.
WHAT lies ahead will always for a mystery. Do not be afraid to explore.
WHEN life pushes you over, you push back harder.
WHERE there are choices to make, make the one you won’t regret.
WHY things happen, will never be certain. Take it in stride and move forward.

Also remember to drink plenty of water, particularly after your massage! Drinking lots of water at this time will help flush out the toxins released during your massage, and rehydrate your muscles.
