Gratitude
Oh turkey day, a holiday for sitting down with family, eating delicious food and drinking delicious drinks? Yes, please! This year I have so much to be thankful for: a healthy baby girl and her doting older brother, a thriving massage practice, my friends and family, memories of my mom's holiday dinners, god health and sunny weather!
This holiday season I wish you all lots of joy and the ability to stop and really feel it amidst the madness that comes with the season of joy and giving. And don't forget to start and end your holiday to-do list with: "Take care of me!"

Holiday Yummies ...
And of course I have to include a recipe! In the spirit of the holidays I'm sharing my great grandmother's recipe for (my all-time favorite) Butterhorn cookies. One bite brings me back to her kitchen and the tin of these she kept on a shelf for when we visited. There's not a thing healthy about them, but all bets are off October 31st - January 1st, so enjoy! Try them out and share your thoughts on Facebook and/or Twitter #lifebalancemassage #gramscookies
