Jason Mraz - "Lucky"

So the video may not be that great BUT I think this is my new favorite song! If you've never paid attention to Jason Mraz and you love the cool stylings and fresh beats of young musical geniuses then LISTEN!!! An added bonus... Colbie Caillat singing alongside!

afternoon delight

The warm, soft surface glided across my bare skin as if the two were meant to be in connectivity. The divine scents of eucalyptus and spring magnolias wafted through the air like billowy clouds directly into my nose as I drifted into a state of peaceful delight. A soul satisfying, all sensory invoking gift from me, to me – my first (and hopefully not last) hot-stone, full-body massage.

From the initial contact of heat along the sides of my aching lower back to the moment she removed the remaining stone from the center of my forehead, I was entranced.

I often dream of heaven…. I imagine its grandeur. Sunshine. Rainbows. Celestial voices singing sweet melodies. Family. Old friends. Beds made entirely of egyptian cotton cloud puffs. Laughter. Soft winds breezing through endless fields of sunflowers. Dancing. Crystal clear oceans rolling into white powdery sand….

And me, on a massage table indulging in the warmth of smooth stones and sweet smelling oils.

The price of my rejuvenating experience = $95 (a minimal price to put on an afternoon of luxury and pampering). If you live in Charleston, I recommend the ladies at Stella Nova. Maybe we'll bump into each other in the spa lounge! =)

I got an email today entitled "Tips for living an exceptional, superb, & powerful life" - the title stuck out, so I decided to dive in. Out of a list of 40, here are a few the email suggested that I'm going to try and invite into my daily life...

  1. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to________ today.
  2. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
  3. Dream more while you are awake.
  4. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
  5. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
  6. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
  7. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
  8. Ladies - Go on and burn those 'special' scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good china and wear our fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion. Everyday is special.
  9. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: In five years, will it matter?
  10. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch with them.
  11. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:
    · I am thankful for __________.
    · Today I accomplished _________.
  12. Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and ENJOY.
