![]() What have you done to honor your body today? Assignment: Find a body lotion that you love. Maybe you love the scent of the lotion. Maybe you love the way it absorbs into your skin. Or, maybe, just maybe, the tactile connection between your own hand and your skin feels like a friendship. Or a romance…. Or maybe none of this is true. The harder this assignment seems, the greater your obligation is to do it. The benefits of this practice are dramatic and potentially life altering.
