It's been a really hectic year so far, I just don't seem to have stopped. I've finally reached my qualifications as a Therapist, so I can begin treating clients & getting paid!!! I'm now searching for clients to build a stable business from; I don't mind travelling, as long as you pay the ticket!!!
I'm working on soft-tissue injuries, so I'm reaching into a market where my competition is a little vague on what they are offering. Lot's of bone crackers cracking bones, but not alot of muscle work. I can treat injuries with massage, with aromatic oils, and with Reflexology. If I'm honest, I really enjoy aromatherapy; it's the alchemy of combining plant chemicals to effect a treatment that excites me. I've already made creams for friends with skin conditions, as well as bath oils to help improve recovery rates. Even oils to reduce cellulite!!!! Not saying who I've made that stuff for though, must maintain client confidentiality (serious face)!!!!
I've also stopped using Facebook, too much rubbish coming through. I want to stay in contact with friends, and FB can do that, I just don't want all the stuff that goes with it. So from now on, it'll be email and the telephone.

Why do we lie to ourselves
In an effort to understand myself, I find asking this question is crucial to starting my journey. Shakespeare said,"Of thine own self be true, thou canst not then be false to any man". If I lie to myself, if I deceive my own thoughts and visions, how can I possibly find the basis of all truth. So I ask searching questions which may be uncomfortable to see written down, but need answering none the less.
We lie to ourselves for various reasons; we're afraid of the truth, we want to be something more than we feel we are, we're disappointed with our efforts so far, we're not happy, we don't want to face the consequences of our actions. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to suffering; good old Yoda. It's true all the same. I'm afraid, and that makes me angry; angry with the situation and myself. My anger makes me hate the things I seem unable to change, and I suffer for it.
I think I've taken the first step in a long journey.
