lazy day

this blog is dedicated to my teddy bear, jason lentz!

it was mostly a lazy day, i think the most "activity" i did today was pick up oliver at work & took us to get breakfast at the natch (the local natural foods store "island naturals") i picked up me & rachel some soft flakey croissants & bought some tea. the rest of the day was filled with napping, npr, photo editing, counseling (me counseling) & giving a reiki treatment....but more on that in a bit

last night i attended my friends johnny & tara's anniversary party. well it was also johnny's birthday yesterday. today is their actual anniversary. anywho, this island seems to destroy relationships often, as far as i can tell. very few couples i've seen here have made it look "good". in short, tara & johnny make it look good. & i have come to love them lots & feel blessed to be able to celebrate their second year of marriage together with them!!! according to them it was more a party for us, their friends, who support them through their marriage!
here are some shots from the party:
(yes, i may have done an irish car-bomb for the first time in my life)


the reiki treatment i gave tonight was intense. at one point i remember looking down at my hands & at once knowing that they were my hands & having that familiarity & simotaneously seeing that they were also foreign objects. like flowers. strange. beautiful.
i gave my first full treatment on our massage table in the "waterfall" room. i'm always amazed at how powerful human touch is. i guess that's all i can really say about it right now....


my friend jason lentz told me the cutest story tonight, which is how he became my teddy bear. actually i guess he's always been my teddy bear, i just didn't realize it until i heard the story!

it goes like this: This professor had an open door policy with one condition

Anyone could come and ask him a question at any time when he was in his office, but first they had to ask the question to the teddy bear which sat outside his office

he had this rule because he found that 9 times out of 10 the student would figure out the answer to their question simply by asking it aloud.

so the teddy bear took all of those questions

and if the teddy bear failed to answer it for the student, then they could ask the prof.

is that not the cutest thing EVER??!!! :D i love it!!! i also played teddy bear today!!
