Love the holidays....

I really do love the holidays, but I sometimes wish that they didn't have to feel quite so crazy. Because I am registered with my governing body for massage therapy my clients can claim my treatments on their insurance. Most plans run out on December 31 so December is always a little crazy. People want in very last minute, late at night, early in the morning and on the weekend. I don't mind this, and the extra money is always nice, but when it gets dropped on you that you are hosting the family tea on Christmas morning when you work till 9 pm on the 24th..... not so much. My house is not up to visitor standards and I don't have a lot of free time between now and then. Not sure how this is going to work yet....

And on that note, I'm still at work. It's 6pm, and I won't be out before 10 tonight. I love my job, my clients are great, and I am thankful that I can do the work that I do.

I'm still preparing for Sunday. I feel more and more ready for the next year the closer we get.

Sunday is my birthday....

It might seem a little strange to start a blog with a birthday post to me but this is an important birthday for me. I will be turning 26, and this birthday begins my year and a day. Over the past several years I have explored the Wicca religion and have looked into blended paths and many other things. My grandmother was a witch, and I have felt called to this path since her death more than 10 years ago. I miss her very much.

I should probably introduce myself. I'm Rhya, I'm a Massage Therapist and Reiki Practitioner. I own my own business and work at a spa. I also train horses. I'm very recently single again because I apparently have no time for a relationship.... his opinion, not mine. But that's OK, he's probably right.

The dreams component of this blog comes in with my career choices. I'm applying to a very competitive program for next September. I will say more when I know more, but for now I would appreciate any good thoughts anyone wants to send me :)

And the drama? Let's just say that the spa has many similarities to a sorority house. Never a dull moment and I'm happy to share the laughs and the tears. I work with my best friend along with 6 other girls and there is always someone with some family drama, guy drama, client drama, something. We have spa days at least once a month where we have potlucks and loud music and dancing in the salon. We occasionally have slumber parties in the loft. And if this isn't sounding like the best job ever then you need your head read!! I love, and it will be one of the hardest things to leave other than my family and my dogs who will be staying with my parents while I am away at school.
