mystery mama to be

One of my greatest pleasures in life is getting a massage. It can be an expensive venture but it is so worth it. I look forward to those appointments like a kid on Christmas Eve. 
My massage therapist, Lauren, is a magical, gorgeous human with such an intuitive spirit. I made an appointment with her about a month ago and could not wait for the day to come. My body was desperate. 
This past Monday came and 6:15 pm could not come quick enough. My husband got home from work in the nick of time for me to leave and I hurried my way across town. 
When I arrived, the woman at the front desk asked if I had come from school. This made me giggle. 'Oh no, I've been out of school for a while and pregnant with my second baby' I replied! Shew, I'm almost 31 years old, I thought. I appreciated her comment. 
Lauren came out to get me and as usual we sat down in the room and began discussing how I was feeling. I told her about my aches and pains. We talked pregnancy and yoga for a minute and then she told me the most amazing thing: A fellow 'mama to be' had paid for my massage. HUH?!?! I mean, someone called and paid for my massage? I don't remember even telling anyone I was getting a massage. A wave of emotions came over me, I wanted to cry. I could not believe in that moment that such kindness had been shown to little, ol' me. 
I had been saving up for this massage! I was prepared to pay and you're telling me it is taken care of?
Mama, who are you?
After my massage, I posted something on Facebook, hoping the mystery mama would come clean. But no such luck. I still do not know who this angel is. And I'm discovering that maybe that's okay. 
I recently gifted someone anonymously so I am extra shocked that the same thing has been done for me. I guess this is when karma isn't a bitch. Kindness is contagious. 
I am inspired to carry on this precious spirit of goodwill in a big way. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the mystery mama to be who paid for my massage. You are a true angel, whoever you are.
