Meet Our Friend, Maycee
My name is Maycee, my husband Will and I met when we were nine years old. We got married in 2019 and in November of 2022 we were blessed with our boy/girl twins, Beckett and Elliot. Our hands were full from the start and life was slow, a pace that was new to us but we had never felt more at home.
The spa doors have welcomed many different versions of myself over the past several years, from prenatal, to postpartum, to present, where I navigate the rapid waters of almost three-year old twins. I truly believe that I was created to be a twin mom, God knew how my mind worked, how fast pace I operated and blessed me with plenty of patience and he was excited to give me the ultimate go at multitasking. As a mama, it is my job to worry about the things no one else sees and to think ahead and be prepared, but by stressing over things outside of my control, I end up crowding what truly matters. It is very important for me to pay attention and know when I need to rest, so those counting on me don’t feel my uneasiness and I remind myself that I am doing a good job even when I need a break.
During my first massage with Dandle Spa, it was the first time I had experienced a quiet mind and that was massive, as a twin mom but also as someone who’s brain is always on. I felt as if every blessing in my life had been highlighted and everything else had fallen away. Stress feels heavy because it is something we aren’t meant to carry. “You can not accept blessings when your hands are full” -- a quote I remind myself of often and it still takes my breath away every time.
I would like to leave you with something beautiful the twins say, that we find ourselves repeating when the day feels hard:
“Easy”
They say it most often when something needs our full attention, when we are following them or simply carrying something they think is too heavy. “Easy mama” or “easy daddy” I believe they were given this word so their tiny voices could ring in our minds and it would outweigh the noise of the world and be louder than everything else in our brain. Similar to parenthood, there are times in your faith where there is routine and you find yourself in autopilot and ever so often you get a tiny reminder that you need to slow down, pay attention and remember to let go of things that are too heavy. Dandle Spa has created a space where I can do exactly that, I feel safe, it’s a place where I can take a moment to rest and reset and resume as the best version of myself.
Thank you Dandle and friends for being such a massive part of my life and being the place I can come to rest.
