A Motherly Attitude

I've been considering what mindset I need to have in my career when working with people.  I am the kind of person who worries about what others are thinking.  I tend to lose myself by giving way to what I think they're thinking.
I forget the truth about who I am.

I've realized that ultimately, we all want the same thing:  to be cared about.
To me, the ultimate picture of caring is a mother.  I want to be a mother one day and I feel that I have a good bit to go on since I've been around a lot of good moms and kids.

My own mother is a great caregiver!

Mothers do what is best for those under their care.  A mother doesn't think about herself.
She's not trying to impress anyone.  She listens, is accepting, caring, fearless.

So I've decided the mindset I will have in my massage career is that of a mother.
I will listen to and take care of people.

Meet My New Best Friend!

You may not believe this, but for over a year I have been using the office's antibacterial soap to wash off the oily jojoba lotion I use for massage. Well, it doesn't cut it, so I said enough is enough!

I bought a small bottle of this stuff which is so tried and true!  Sure, it will probably dry me out just as the antibacterial soap did but it will take off all the oil and any odors.

My timing was perfect, too, because shortly after buying it, the Dr. and the Mrs. needed to get rid of some yellow jackets right outside the office.

They asked if they could use my detergent.  I said "sure thing, but you owe me $50 because it's like gold" - just kidding!
