Luxury Gift Basket Recently, I went to a preschool Christmas concert and their parents’s group was having a raffle to raise money. I could get five tickets for $20 and it was for a good cause. I never expected to win anything. Someone right after me bought 60 tickets so I figured my five wouldn’t win. There were 3 incredible raffle choices. Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call Wednesday…

A bath drawn, dried flowers and herbs making the water perfumed and soft. Candles upon candles lit to create a sense of sanctuary and holiness

Hands guiding an aching body into the water and smoothing over sweat soaked hair and bruises with a tenderness that can bring tears

Hair washed with gentle scrubbing, honeyed tea brought to lips in between, maybe wordless music playing in the background

Massaging sore, overly tight muscles with scented oils and wrapping the now sleep-heavy body in a warm, fresh blanket

Mummy said indoors it's too hot

So we cried
