In order to bathe properly you must begin with TIME. Not merely enough time to lather, rinse, repeat; but rather the time to luxuriate, unfurl, and gently blossom with beauty. Our body requires a minimum of 20 minutes to fully open herself to receive the full benefits of bathing. So, once you have set aside an abundance of peaceful moments . . .
(Taking care to ensure your solitude remains uninterrupted)
. . . Select
gelees, salts, and lotions . . .
. . . Add an abundance of pure water and essence of tranquility . . .
. . . Along with something to nourish the romance in your soul.
[NEVER this!]
Flood the room with soothing music . . .
. . . Taking great care to have something beautiful at the ready upon your exit.
Remember:
Make a promise to yourself today.
~~~Now go be beautiful from the inside out. ~~~

When I wrote my If - I lived on a small island, a friend mentioned Anne Morrow Lindbergh's book and quoted her:
"I am content. I sit down at my desk, a bare kitchen table with a blotter, a bottle of ink, a sand dollar to weigh down one corner, a clam shell for a pen tray, the broken tip of a conch, pink tinged, to finger, and a row of shells to set my thoughts spinning"
Now I have this book on top of my wish list :-)
Such loveliness!
