In a world where we can focus on doom and gloom, or we can choose to count our blessings, I choose the latter. Today I am grateful for lovely colleagues including LMT Brenda. Sometimes we are the “needy” and sometimes we are the “needed;” and in massage terms, sometimes we are the kneaded! -Jill
If your life seems as roller-coaster as Iowa weather has been lately, perhaps it’s time to get a massage.

Were you/someone you know affected by the tornadoes in the Greenfield/Fontanelle area? We will be in Greenfield today Thursday 5/30 from 5:30-8:30 giving free chair massages at the Gathering Place. These are free for Greenfield residents and clean-up volunteers. We will be in Fontanelle at Summerset Estates this coming Sunday from 3-6pm. Both are about an hour’s drive SW of the Des Moines metro; I grew up in this area. All others can give a free-will donation which will benefit the Greater Greenfield Community Foundation.If you can’t make it and want to donate, go to GGCF (greenfieldiafoundation.org) One can’t pour from an empty cup. -Jill
Living in the moment is a component of wellness. Ask about guided meditation. It can be done off-site – at your workplace for example – or your organization can schedule a group session at our location. Better yet, plan it before or after a yoga session (classes naturally happen Tuesdays and Fridays at 5:30 here) with Hortencia the yoga instructor, or contact her at https://sites.google.com/view/yoga-with-hortencia/contact Nourish your body, mind and spirit! -Jill
Stretching is underrated. Use unplanned waiting time to stretch. There are many youtube videos – some even as little as a few minutes – one can access from your phone. Just make sure the video is from a qualified professional – certified yoga instructor or physical therapist for example. Notice the difference! -Jill
Like attracts like. Be kind, and see what kindness comes into your life! -Jill
Some people stay at the top of others’ minds by contacting them only when they need something.
Some people attract others by letting their inner beauty and kindness shine, kind of like a positive people magnet.

Typing massage near me might get you a massage now at other places, but make sure you ask questions when scheduling your appointment. For example, some places will say they offer couples massage but the massages aren’t in the same room. At Serenity Massage they are.
