Literally 10 minutes after I clicked “schedule publish” on my 2026 Western North Carolina (WNC) Bucket List—which included “Visit the Shoji Spa” in the fourth spot—one of my good friends texted me.
“Do you have any plans tonight?” he asked. I didn’t, so I told him thusly. “I have a gift card to the Shoji Spa for a two-person soak I need to use before January 30th,” he responded. “Wanna go?”
Fate, I’ll tell ya. Obviously, I went, not only because I’d just added it ot my bucket list, but because free is for me…
