I had my first Goddess Night tonight. I hadn’t planned to. I’d been working hard on my essay today and I decided to have a bath tonight as a reward. Then my inner Goddess kicked in, insisting I take the book on Animal Symbolism along with me and issuing a further stream of commands: exfoliate before you get in and again before you get out, shave those legs, ooo… it’s time to try out that cleansing mask, and make sure you moisturise your entire body when you get out.

Not only does my skin feel lovely and smooth, but I feel more present in the moment and the tummy ache that had been troubling me this afternoon (probably stress and bad eating habits) has quietened down.
