IF It Aint Broke...You better FIX IT!

I'm a huge movie buff. I love the movies. Movies are my escape and I like to escape often; as it relaxes me. It calms me and it reminds me that ALL things are possible. Additionally, movies give us permission to dream and dream Big and out loud.

I went to see the new movie starring Ryan gosling and Michelle Williams, "Blue Valentine." The movie was about a couple who had basically outgrown the other and the one who was outgrown didn't receive the memo. Brilliant acting, powerful message, rolled up pure simplicity. There was no grand special effects, explicit sex scenes or any of the typical distractions from bad acting. There was just a story that we can all relate to. The movie was just that...it was simple, pure and painfully honest. It was art imitating life.

Here you had a couple who fell madly in love because they both were able to provide the other with what they needed; which in a nutshell was love and acceptance. Somewhere during the course of their relationship, one began to grow and their desires, dreams and needs grew along with them. The other, not recognizing that if you're not paying attention, you could stand to be outgrown by the person who vowed to love you till death do you both part. The person, not paying attention, believed there were no obvious breaks in the relationship; therefore, he or she treated the relationship like a car put in cruise control. They were coasting through the relationship without feeding it spontaneity, an intense workout (if you know what I mean), on a regular basis, attention, affection, kind words, patience coupled with a drive down the Coast to Santa Barbara or even Las Vegas. This relationship needed a new set of spark plugs; otherwise, it was destined to putter. And putter out it did.

The way we relate or don't relate to our bodies; is similar to the way we deal with relationships, both intimate and platonic ones. You have to feed your body with vitamins, trace minerals, kind and affirming words, positivity, nutritious foods, LOVE, exercise, adventure, alkeline water and then another dose of Love. If we're not tending to this remarkable gift...this one and only temple of life, the body will send us reminders that we've been neglecting it. Those reminders sometimes come in the packag of: Type II Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity, depression, stroke and on an don.

Much like relationships, let us not wait until there is a problem, situation or the chance to be outgrown before we nurture, love, pay attention to and cherish our bodies the way we ought to cherish our relationships, both intimate and platonic .

I'm going to share a few ways I Fix my inside and out before they break down on me is by:

. treating myself to a full body massage atleast twice a month

. treating myself to bath products that make my entire home smell yummy and delicious

. I love to light my scented candles while I'm in the shower with my red light on.

. I'll write love notes to that special man in my life and stash them in various places that I know he'll find at the most unsuspecting times

. As a massage therapist; I'll treat my friends and/or lover to a massage and use Scentsational Soaps new massage candle

. I'll treat a friend to lunch or dinner

. reading positive self-help books

. Loving and respecting my body by telling and showing her I love her by not allowing toxic people anywhere near her.

Hold on ya'll. We are about to go on a bumpy, but much needed ride.

. I look at my "Love pocket"; that's what I call my private area and I tell her that I love and appreciate her. After all, she needs to know these things. I need her to stay healthy and happy along with the rest of me.

I need you to stay healthy and happy. I want to hear some of the ways you nurture your relationships and your body. Feel free to shoot me a little note

Have a Fit and Fabulous week
