Mrs. Jones Wears Only Black, She Put Her Husband Through Law School

Heart to heart conversations happen in the spa.  Why, you ask? Because you have created an environment where people tell all.  You have created a place where people can exhale.

They will open up their hearts and tell you every little detail.  Knowing that Mrs. Jones wears only black is a fact, because you have always seen Mrs. Jones in black.  Knowing WHY Mrs. Jones wears black is because you have created an environment where people tell it all.  It is good and bad.  Good, becaue you have created a safety net and a cocoon, where people can exhale and have private conversations.  Bad, because you know a lot about people, their personal life, their dreams, their needs and desires and YOU must keep secrets.  If you tell, you will put a hole in the safety net.

Now for the secret.  First, Mrs. Jones is not her real name.  And, she wears black, because she mourns everyday for the loss of her marriage.  I still haven’t connected the dots between law school, marriage, and wearing black, but she has, and as long as she still comes to the spa, I will keep honoring her secrets.  Exhale!
