Reflect.
(ri flekt) Verb. To think, ponder or meditate. To be turned or cast back as
light. Random House Unabridged Dictionary
Anniversaries. Birthdays. The marking of 365 days switches on that light to
meditation – an opportunity to reflect upon that which has passed and
that which lies ahead.
It has been a year since I opened the Chicago office of Lesley Pearl Massage +
Bodywork. These 12 months have been a time to grow, to embrace change and to
step confidently into offering the very best of what I do.
This month, I am delighted to introduce you to The Body Sherpa: Expert
Guidance for when Your Journey with Food, Exercise and Body Image Feels Mostly
Uphill. This is, in part, a reflection upon my own work to make peace with
my body. It is also a response to the urgings of friends, clients and
colleagues, all imploring me to make available what I already do naturally with
them – offer practical suggestions and support without shame for managing
food, fear and their relationship with their physical self.

I’ve offered you a lot to ponder. Perhaps some of this reflects back to
you as light – an opening, an opportunity. In these slow-paced days of summer,
I invite you to consider what it is that you need. What it is that you do.
And what it is that will allow you to cast your light onto those around you.
As always, I look forward to hearing what you uncover.
Be well.
Lesley
