Wow, what a month!  I have really been enjoying school!  New classes, new people, and a new learning system.  Massage here i come!  Right now i only have two classes 1) Massage Therapy 101 lecture and 2) Massage Lab.  Both are great.  I love how i went to two schools learning about the same thing because you get all those cracks and spaces filled that were once questions and uncertainty.  Tomorrow we are starting full body NAKED massage...eek.  Im ok with my body but i guess i just need to get used to my body being naked underneath a sheet which is then going to be exposed in different areas haha.  Oh well, i guess ill bite the bullet :P

I am, as of right now, at Level II Reiki.  The attunement for the class was truly life changing and right now my body is going through a healing process.  I have really just started everything but i can surely feel a change already.  If you guys know me im really not one just to imagine things and make up stories, i like proof and Reiki is more than enough proof that the energy healing is real.  

I got to meet my long lost AWESOME cousin Rachel!  Finally after 11+ years i finally got to spend some time with her.  Man i was nervous.  For those of you who dont know she is a Wiccan High Priestess in Florida, a Massage Therapist, AND a Reiki Master.  She also teaches multiple classes and lessons in the Craft.  I spent my whole day with her and learned SO much.  Because of her i can really see things the way they are.  I wish she could be here in Chicago more often but next time she comes down we can chat and learn more :P  Im thinking about looking into crystals more because of her PLUS she is a great motivator for my path through Reiki.  

Jeez what else... Work is good, im REALLY enjoying that.  The only thing i dislike are the crazy people coming in saying we are going to hell blah blah or that we are evil...other than that things are peachy lol.  Its been tornado/storm crazy over here too!  Seriously im expecting to one day be riding my bike and float away looking just like the witch in the Wizard of Oz! lol
