But as I thought about this tag, I remembered the week I had just had in Montreal and Mont Tremblant. This was an entire week of "LOVE Therapy" ! Talk about stuff to make you feel more balanced and more healthy ! And though I can't always keep the momentum going all the time, the time I spent this past week was so good for my being in so many, many ways ! This winter has been hard and long but spending a week in "LOVE Therapy" has done some major healing and filling up of my soul. I highly recommend it !!!
What does "LOVE Therapy" entail, you ask ? Well first off, you have to take the time. Now, a minute or an hour of LOVE therapy is great but if you can afford it, I recommend taking at least a weekend and definitely longer if you can. As my wise woman sister, Kristina says about taking that time "Can you really afford NOT to ???"
So where does the LOVE Therapy take place ? Think of the place that has the most LOVE available to you. It may well be your very own home ! For me, it meant travelling back to my hometown where my LOVE circle is big and has long established roots !
Okay, now for some of the knitty gritty of LOVE Therapy (with a little help from some of my friends !) :
1. LOve Therapy starts with asking for what you need and making that a priority.
(Azzy wants some water - he asks for it !)
2. Be Your Own Musher - In LOVE therapy, sometimes you need to take control a bit and make things happen.
(Thomas mushing the (empty) dogsled !)
3. Change Your Diet - Eat Things that are GOOD for you or things that taste GOOD- especially if they are prepared by someone else !!!
(Katie's Choice ?)
(F-R-U-I-T! FRUIT, Nature's Candy ! Smart Baby, huh ?)
4. Find Your Own Special Cheerleaders and really listen to their Cheers !
(2, 4, 6, 8 - Who Do We Appreciate ? Kimmy, Kimmy, Yaaay, Kimmy !)
5. Graciously accept all forms of PDA's from those who LOVE you !
(Even the kind that SQUISH a little !)
6. Take the time to look at and appreciate the beauties of Nature !
(Evening Grossbeak and Puffed Up Bluejay)
7. Get Lots of Rest - Be it by taking a Seat along the way :
Or as the experts suggest...
Napping Whenever Possible !
8. Keep the Beat and be part of a Circle of Friends :
(Was this as silly and as fun as it looks ? Oooooh Ya !!!)
9. Leave Judgements about Others at the Door !
(My sisters (Natalie and Kristina) a little quirky ? Maybe but I wouldn't have them any other way !)
10. Learn to Create Harmony In All You Do !
(Three sister sing - See our cool mikes ?)
So take the time, go to the place and fill yourself up with these LOVE Therapy techniques and before you know it....
You will be a Happy and Fulfilled Camper once again !!!
(I would like to take this opportunity to tell my wonderful family and friends thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do for me each and every day ! You fill me up with Love and make me feel whole. I love you all so very, very much !)
