My 4 hour hiatus

I took a 4 hour hiatus from my parenting job and spent a wonderful afternoon at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Day Spa with my sister.  This place is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!  Notice the emphasis on the word amazing?  It truly is the Disneyland for adults.

 Here we are, all ready to go in!!

Incredible food!!!

The day is usually spent lounging on a raft in a pool, hopping from the spas to the mud bath to the sauna and to the grotto and enjoying the huge locker room with a steam room, bath house and all the other wonderful amenities.  This time however, we did the pool, skipped the rest.  We were short on time so we didn't take up all that was offered.  BUT they were holding a visualization workshop that we decided to attend. Visualization is where you use the Law of Attraction and attract what you want in life.  You ask for whatever you want, send out the vibration into the Universe and believe you will receive.  It's really cool stuff.  It works both ways... if your thoughts are positive, then you will get the wonderful things you want and if you have negative thoughts, well, you get the icky things you don't want.  We started the class off with meditation.  We all closed our eyes and my immediate thought was, 'I hope my phone doesn't ring'... remember how I just explained the  Law of Attraction... ring ring, ring ring!!  Oh shoot!  My sister and I both scrambled for our phones {coincidently {or not since we are twins} we have the same ring} trying to shut it off as quickly and quietly as possible.  It was her phone... phew!  Way less embarrassing for me.  I went right back into the meditation and all of my lack of sleep and exhaustion suddenly caught up.  I nodded off.  After the teacher gently woke us {me} we started making vision boards.  We took magazines and tore out pictures of what our soul desired and allowed our creativity juices to flow.  I haven't had much time to sit and read magazines lately so I took a little time and read through some great articles.  An hour later I started tearing out pictures left and right.  I was going crazy.  There was so much beauty in these magazines that I wanted.  I finished my project at home and had the kids make one too.  Here is a look at mine:

I made one of these a few years ago and it had all materialistic things on it.  Things I wanted.  This time around I have apparently matured a bit and want all the feel good emotions, love, happiness, bliss, health, faith.

*This day could not have been made possible with out my dad's help.  After he read my post about needing "me" time he called up and offered to watch my kids so I can have a relaxing day.  I spiced things up a bit and added my sisters 2 kids to the mix... hope ya didn't mind dad!  Thanks a million!!
