A Touch Of Hartwell

I know that getting a weekly or monthly massage may not be in everyone's budget, but making yourself a priority is absolutely necessary. But it doesn't always have to cost anything.

Something as simple as taking a nap on a Tuesday, sending the kids to a play date and watching your favorite movie, wearing make-up after not having time in 2 years, calling your best friend you haven't spoken to in forever, taking 2 hours to read your favorite book, hit the gym, take a walk, go fishing, build a birdhouse, finish a sewing project you love, take yourself out to dinner, soak in a hot bath for an hour, get a massage, or pedicure or a manicure, have your hair done professionally.

Some of these have a cost and some are free. But anything that is important to YOU (not someone else's idea of self care) is absolutely essential.

Makng yourself a priority is no different than breathing air. Self care is not a luxury, it is an essential part of life. And self care looks completely different to everyone.

God loves you and so do I.

So this is on my heart.
A dear friend, Bonnie, lost her husband 2 weeks ago. She is the most selfless, kind, genuine person. And what I would love to do is offer her several massages at no cost to her (she was so kind to give her massages to her husband when he was sick). I would like to just show her lots of love but I need your help.

For every dollar I raise towards her massages, I will match it. If I raise $100, I will match $100. BUT....ALSO......
For anyone that donates ANY amount, your name will also be put in a drawing for a free 1 hour massage. If you donate $1, you go in the drawing 1 time. If you donate $30, you go in the drawing 30 times.

Please pray about this and if God puts it on your heart to help, you can send payments via....

Father God, I come to you today and ask that you bless this so that we can just shower our sweet sister Bonnie in your mercy, grace and love. In Jesus name, Amen

Ok all you AMAZING people. I will be donating lots of non perishable items to the Lavonia Police Dept that they will then be taking to NC. If you feel compelled to donate, you can bring items to my office at either the YMCA Hartwell or Salon 29 in Royston. All donations must be received by Wednesday evening as the have to be at LAPD by early Thursday morning. You can find a comprehensive list of what's needed on their FB page but items include water, batteries, canned food, MRE's, flashlights, dog/cat food, baby items (wipes/diapers/clothes) etc... please help if you can.

Make yourself a priority. You do deserve it.

Good afternoon, all you amazinggggggg people. A Touch Of Hartwell and BeBop's Bakery and Bistro are teaming up to cook, freeze dry, and donate food to a mission trip to Honduras in July. The missionary going is only allowed to take 49 pounds in his luggage for the trip, so it makes sense to send freeze-dried foods because it weighs so little but is so very invaluable.

Here's where you come in. We desperately need donations of the following items and could use your help.

For the soup....veggies can be fresh or canned
Celery
Carrots
Potatoes
Green beans
Rice
Chicken
Seasonings

For the snacks...
Bananas
Cantaloupe
ANY canned fruit that's sliced
Bananas
Apples
Berries
Pears
Bananas
Peaches
Mangos
Yea I know I said Bananas multiple times because they are such a great snack and good for energy.

If you can help with any of these items please let Tracy or I know. If you would prefer to donate cash and let us purchase, that is also a blessing we would not turn away.

If you are not able to help but wish you could, then we ask for the greatest donation of all. We ask that you pray sincerely that we receive such an abundance of donations that we have to pay for him to carry extra luggage to deliver all we have to offer.

Tracy and I are standing firm in faith that this will be an amazing donation and blessing and we thank each of you in advance for your help, love, support and prayers.

P.S. I know I have some awesome friends that also have freeze-dryers. So if God puts it on your hearts to assist in this, please reach out to me. I will be doing all the cooking and prep but could certainly use help getting all the freeze-drying done.

Self care is like a bank account. If you don't make deposits into your own health and well being, you won't have the funds to write checks to others. ❤❤❤

My prayer for you today is hot coffee, kind words, strong faith and self love.

Make time for yourself. Self care is absolutely a MUST. Whether massage, pedicures, dinner out, gardening....whatever makes you happy....DO IT. You can not continue to spend from your emotional and physical bank account if you don't make regular deposits.....

And especially especially especially for those of us that give, give, give of ourselves to others....we have to reinvest in ourselves or we become depleted and will eventually lose the ability and capacity to do for others.

Love yourself. You are worth it.

Please help feed these babies. They are in desperate need.

One of our Hart County Animal Society supporters, Christa McFalls from A Touch Of Hartwell massage has kindly donated two 1-hour messages to be raffled off to anyone responding to our urgent plea for Purina ONE puppy food. We are currently feeding several malnourished, underweight dogs and the vet recommends we feed puppy food to help their bodies gain weight. Please consider dropping off or sending a donation of a bag of Purina One Puppy Food to our shelter at 1364 Reed Creek Hwy, Hartwell, GA 30643. Don't forget to include your name. We will be picking the winners on September 17th at the Dam Dog Walk Thank you
