Friday, Nov 3 - The best facial ever!

Today I totally treated myself (a belated birthday present, if I have to justify it) and had the most amazing experience! Sonja calls it a "facial" - but I've had one of those, and this wasn't anything like what I've experienced previously. Not only did I get a facial, but also a back massage, arm, hand, shoulder, and neck massage, plus the foot and head massage. WOW!!! She said I had 37 year old skin - wasn't that nice of her??? Thank you Mom and Grandma for the awesome skin genes!

Then, to really put a spin on the day, Deborah and I hiked Devisadero - the trail I hiked last Friday that had snow on the north side. Last week it took me 3 hours - today, we had to do it in 2 hours because of a time commitment - so we moved our tushies! Whew - exhausting, but exhilirating, too!

So exhilirating, in fact, that coupled with the quart of apple juice I had to drink that afternoon in preparation for a cleanse, I was wiped out and in bed by 8 p.m. You might be thinking, "what a wuss!" but there is no explaining the energy here - everything is magnified and intensified - and authenticity is required - there's no hiding from your SELF here!

I encourage everyone to make Taos a "must see" destination on your list of vacation options. You won't be disappointed.
