That Massage Life 💆🏻 - Service in Action. I love working with my 🖐🏼 🤚🏼 hands, whether I’m drawing, painting, writing, taking pictures, or providing massage. Many of my followers know me as an artist-specifically a photographer-and while this is a love of mine, at this season in my life, it is mostly just a hobby. I enjoy sharing my images and pieces of myself through the images I post. But this other part of me, this part that serves other daily, this is a joy like know other. If Photography is my passion, Massage Therapy is my life. This is me. This is what I was born to do. Follow sister page #heavensentmassageofellijay and tell me in the comments below what your favorite type of massage is. 👇🏻 • • • #MassageLife #MassageTherapy #MassageTherapist #DayJob #KillingIt #ThisIsMe #Selfie #WorkSelfie #WorkLife #LovingIt #SelfPortrait #PortraitPhotography #LeslieByrdPhotos

You can’t truly know, love & accept someone else until you first truly know, accept & love yourself. ————— Just some thoughts I’m having around these days surrounding #ValentinesDay Knowing who you are, what you believe in, what you like and don’t like, what you accept and don’t accept, what you want and need and what you don’t, what you stand for... and loving everything about you that makes you who you are... takes YEARS of learning and discovering. You grow up thinking you know all there is to know, and you may feel confident about yourself, only to discover later that you have no idea what you’re doing or what you want, and that you’ve only brushed the surface of who you are as a person. You find yourself unhappy - in school or jobs, in friendships and relationships, in your beliefs- because you based it all on what you THOUGHT you knew of life and yourself, instead of actually taking the time to figure it out for real. We are all made of layers from what the world tells us, what media shows us, what teachers say, what friends say, how are parents raised us, how circumstances have molded us, what fears have kept us from, what we tell ourselves... It is ONLY when we spend time examining each of these areas that we finally begin to reveal what it is that makes us who we are and that shows us what we want and need. And often, this process is something we must do alone - for ourselves and by ourselves. When all this discovery has been done, it is only then that we are truly free to discover another. Until then, we are just looking for confirmation and acceptance of ourselves in all those we come into contact with. Not truly loving another, but rather, the pieces of ourselves that we see in another. • • • #love #self #selfdiscovery #personaljourney #selfacceptance #wholeness #thoughts #wisdom #alonetime #aloneNOTlonely #BeautifulLiving #lesliebyrdphotography

Back to work today after some much needed time off. This morning was all about #health & #comfort. I’ve been ill the past week or so, with what the doctors can only diagnose as #Lymphadentitis (swelling of lymph glands) in the right side of my neck. I’m on a strong round of antibiotics, but this thing has me all flared-up and experiencing night sweats and flu-like symptoms. Ughhh...! So today’s got me #BackOnSchedule, and I just wanted some comfort before seeing any of today’s clients. I had a #MorningCoffee ☕️ , followed by 30-something oz. of B-complex infused Fruit Punch flavored water 💧. That was shared with a round of meds and multi-vitamins, and this easy & delicious #FruitParfait! Made special for my birthday, this parfait has a delicious mix of #Berries & #Grapes 🍇 , #LoveCrunchGranola, and #AlmondMilkVanillaFlavoredWhippedCream. OhMyGoodness! 😋 #SoGood. How do you take care of yourself when you are getting back into your #DailyRoutine after some sick-time-off? Tell me in the comments! 😊 • • • #SelfCare #ChronicIllness #Vegan #VeganFood #VeganBreakfast #VegansOfInstagram #HealthyEating #HealthyLiving #BeautifulLife #ByrdFind #LeslieByrdPhotography

Omgosh, y’all... I am SO RIDICULOUSLY TIRED today, I almost forgot to post this! Call me #exhausted Nonetheless, I was able to get a little bit of office work done, had time for a chat with my best friend, made time for stretches, and read my morning devotionals. It was one of my #goals last year to get through this book: #SimpleAbundance #SimpleAbundanceADaybookOfComfortAndJoy and now I’m finally doing it! It must have been meant to be or something, because today’s words seemed to touch base with EXACTLY what I’ve been dealing with lately, which is accepting life as it is now, letting it be, rather than fighting against it. Change can be good, and much needed, but it will happen when it happens. For now, I will learn to accept what already is, and live each moment as it comes. I will accept the process and learn everything I can possibly can along the way.

My kids went to church this morning with their grandparents. Meanwhile, I stayed home and I am doing some laundry, brewing coffee, making up a chili, and wishing for snow. Hoping you all have a wonderful Sunday! #ColdWeatherComforts #NothingButFlurries #VeganChili #VeganGrilledCheese #VeganComfortFoods #Yummy #Delicious #VeganEating #VeganLunch #Nourishment #BeingProductive #BeautifulLiving #BeautifulLife #lesliebyrdphotography
