                        Friday, January 10, 2014

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
self motivated leader and innovator of the community, Ms. Candace 
Windom and Miyori's Massage.
  Born and raised in Rolling Fork, Candace graduated from South Delta 
High School and completed her studies in massage therapy at Antonelli 
College in July 2012. She earned her license as a state board certified 
therapist shortly after.
  In late January 2013 Candace was hired as the only full-time massage 
therapist at Harlow's Casino in Greenville, Mississippi. At the age of 
26, Candace opened the doors to Miyori's Massage at 133 Walnut Street 
in July 2013.
  Miyori's Massage offers a wide variety of massage techniques. ``This 
is my hometown,'' Windom said, ``I want to give back to my community 
and bring something here we've never really had.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Candace 
Windom for giving back to the community in which she was born and 
reared.
