A HISTORY…RENU DAY SPA
My name is Anna Pamula, and I’ve owned RENU Day Spa since 1989. A small nail and cosmetic boutique when I first purchased it, I’ve reinvented and recreated this business—with a vision to shape it into the North Shore’s finest day spa. By infusing beauty with science, I’ve seen changes firsthand that I can make in people’s lives. RENU is my lifelong dream and calling.
I was born in Poland just six years after World War II ended. My childhood and teen years were a loving and interesting time: I was raised by three generations of women of one religion, and a man of another—all living under one roof!
The oldest of my caregivers, my Great Grandma, Antonina, owned a Martha Stewart-like farm. She not only raised animals and grew food, but also planted herbs that she used for medicines and natural remedies. She was truly a sophisticated farmer and medicine woman. My second beloved caregiver was my Grandma, Sophia. She inherited my Great Grandma’s farm, and focused on growing and recovering food for medicine, but her additional passion was fashion. She created skincare products from the herbs she grew. The youngest of the three women was my Mom, Stella. She loved food, but was not crazy about growing or cooking it. (And so, discovered the world of carry-out!) She admired the fabulous women of the day: Sophia Loren, Marlene Dietrich and Gina Lola Brigitta. She loved cosmetics, but did not care for those made at home. She admired Coco Chanel and Elizabeth Arden, and passed that knowledge on to me and my two younger sisters. While my Grandma wanted to lighten my freckles with cucumber juice, my Mom had already tried the cream recommended by the department store clerk.
My Dad did not get too involved in raising us, but was an excellent provider and role model as a hardworking employee. However, his beliefs overshadowed the three women caring for us, and he managed to raise us as atheists. Eventually, this would backfire on my Dad; over time, I’ve become a soul searcher and philosophy enthusiast.
My caregivers all focused on great education for the three sisters. Even though I had planned to go to beauty school and open a skincare salon, they convinced me that my destiny was best served by having a college degree. The only argument I won was in choosing to become a teacher instead of a lawyer. I was an excellent student, and ended up with more degrees than they expected. At 25, I was chosen by a college professor to participate in an international research team studying hearing-impaired adults and children. That research brought me to the United States in 1982, and I never returned to my beloved country. I was involved in Solidarity in Poland, and my return would have equaled an arrest.
I was never disappointed that I had to extend my visit permanently to the U.S. I sensed that something big was about to happen for me here. I washed dishes, scrubbed toilets and provided childcare with pride and enthusiasm while I perfected my English and looked for my window of opportunity. The turning point came during my first facial in this country: My childhood dream of owning a skincare salon was rekindled.
My journey and education, my search for spiritual existence and growing attachment to life, and my admiration for women (after all, I’d been raised by three of the finest) had all culminated at this point. I studied the art of beauty, but the kind from the inside out, and I created a place where treatments are therapy for the soul. Beauty is just an added bonus.
RENU is successful and people constantly ask me if I plan to open a second location or expand. For me, making it big means keeping it small. It’s the attention to detail that keeps clients coming back for more and more and more. It makes me—and all my employees—proud to be appreciated. Give us a try for the smallest service, and we promise we will win you forever…

5 STEPS TO HAPPINESS
We all have challenges and moments of negativity in our lives, and no one can possibly be happy 24/7. It isn’t human. There are things we can do, however, to put ourselves into a happy, positive frame of mind while still being realistic about life. Happiness, sometimes, really is a choice we have to make – regardless of the struggles that are part of being human. I learned a recipe for happiness from studying Reiki.
Reiki is the name given to a simple yet profound system of natural healing for body and mind, which was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui who lived in Japan during the nineteenth century. Rei means “universal,” and ki, or chi, in Chinese, means “Life Force Energy”. Many people also regard Reiki as a path to personal and spiritual growth. Something I want to particularly point out in this essay is that one of the most important aspects of the Reiki principles are the words Just for Today. They are notable for several reasons. Firstly, if you were to promise yourself, when repeating the Principles, that you would never be angry, or never worry, or always and forever be kind to others – well, that’s a pretty tall order, and quite hard to live up to! The other reason why the words Just Today are important is because they highlight the need to live in the moment and be aware of what is going on around you; to live in the present, in the “Now”. One of my favorite phrases is:
“Yesterday is history;
Tomorrow is a mystery;
Today is a gift;
That’s why it’s called the present."
Below are Dr. Mikao Usui’s Principles
TODAY DO NOT ANGER – Anger is usually tied to responses in the past which are of little use to us as we grow personally and spiritually, and it is usually triggered when someone or something fails to meet our expectations – or sometimes even more importantly, when we don’t come up to our own expectations. Although it may feel uncomfortable to realize it, anger is a conscious choice, and is often just a habitual reaction to a given set of circumstances, so we CAN choose not to be angry…just for today!
TODAY DO NOT WORRY – In the same way we can choose not to worry. Worry is linked with our fear of the future and the unknown, and our lack of self-belief that we can cope, and it often centers around a “what if” scenario…a future event which is not only unrealized, but possibly never will be! Worrying can also be a habit we get into, but is inappropriate for people who are living “in the moment”, so we can choose not to worry…just for today!
BE THANKFUL – It is important to value and appreciate many things in our lives and be grateful for our many blessings – to develop an “attitude of gratitude”, rather than just taking things for granted, or thinking with regret about what we haven’t got. As our consciousness is raised, we know instinctively that every living thing is a part of us, and we are a part of it, and that everything is a part of the Divine, God, the Source or whatever we choose to call it. It is therefore right to give…and feel…thanks for everyone and everything in this wonderful world.
WORK WITH DILIGENCE – We need to respect whatever “job” we have chosen for ourselves, and honor ourselves by doing our best to create a feeling of satisfaction in that work. ALL work is valuable to the extent that we choose to value it. It should also be a tool for spiritual growth, so this Principle is about working towards personal growth and spiritual development each day. Remember that YOU are your life’s work!
BE KIND TO OTHERS – This is about being kind to every person we meet, under any circumstances. We make conscious choices about the people who share our lives, choosing those from whom we wish to learn, those we want as friends, those we work with. But we need to honor and respect ALL of the people we interact with in our lives, not just those in our inner circle, because everyone we meet is in some way one of our teachers, whether we love them or loathe them, because they are all helping us to learn and grow to be human.
Have a Happy, Peaceful & Prosperous 2009
Love, Anna
