Ginger Bath
I just finished taking a ginger bath about ten minutes ago, and I have to say — it works! If you’re looking to sweat, that is :) I filled my tub withhotwater and a full teaspoon of ground ginger and soaked for 20 minutes. Within about 10 I noticed my pulse had sped up dramatically, and I was sweating all over, from my head down. When I got out I actually had a bunch of dead skin brush off onto my towel (gross I know, but a good sign I think!) and I can say I am still sweating, but feel incredibly calm and refreshed! Try it out if you’re feeling the need to get rid of toxins!

The Window
This is what I’ve learned. Each person has a certain window of time that they leave open for you to come into their lives. I have watched this happen countless times, seen people reach out again and again, and when the timing doesn’t match up for whatever reason, that window closes. Each person has their own, and some may even reopen their window months or years later, but typically not. What I’ve learned from this is to be gracious with others, and to take their time and effort seriously. If someone is reaching out to you, they are asking you to be a part of their life. That’s a big gesture. And if someone continues to reach out, and you continue to deny them, blow them off, or simply just neglect them unintentionally, they won’t stick around. Their window will close when you’ve got your back turned. I’ve learned the hard way that you have to take time out of your own life if you want to live with others around you. Taking for granted the windows that others leave open for you is dangerous — this is how one ends up completely alone. It happens gradually, when you’re too focused on yourself and your own petty issues, and suddenly you spin all around and realize that all the people you thought were there have left. We have got to take time for each other. You can’t ever be too busy for a friend.
