Mmmmm, Massage!

I’m lying facedown on a comfy bed in a dim room, the scent of candles and sound of relaxing music fills the air. I sigh deeply, feeling my muscles relax under the massage therapist’s skilled hands. Heavenly! Teacher got me a Massage Connection gift certificate for Christmas and I couldn’t…
