A week in photos

I don't quite know how I've become a random blogger. I used to be consistently present. I had posts in my queue, I was chomping at the bit.

Suddenly, life has gotten in the way of my favorite time suck past-time, which is all together, a good thing.

Almost daily, I'm composing posts in my head. I'll have something I want to share, in just a minute. Suddenly it's 10pm and the alarm is set for 6:20am. If get into anything other than bed, I'll be doomed.

Despite my lack of appearance around here, I have been taking a photo a day, (even if my lovely camera was delivered this morning to Melville, NY, sniff), which will be a nice way to catch up visually.

Last Sunday morning, M dropped Nina and HPD at the airport and I got ready for our last, big derby game. A great game (we won!) made even better by H-girl's appearance as a guest ref.

see that super cute necklace H has on? she made me a matching one for mother's day.

I've been super busy at work, yay me! As a sole practitioner, I am a healer and a business owner. Not always the best combination. My business marketing efforts are minimal at best, but that's even over-stating it.

I'm a listed acupuncturist with many different insurance companies, free advertising as far as I'm concerned. And I have my office in a wellness center which invites a constant flow of like-minded individuals; my brochure is next to the elevator in a prime location. This is it.

I'm grateful for referrals, but I also work really hard at manifesting what I want for my practice. Trust me, I'm the first person to roll my eyes at tree hugger manifestos. With my work, if my intention isn't there, neither are the patients. My daily wishes are recorded in my wish book and it has made a difference.

I've gone back to the gym. Talking the talk this time, I didn't let being sick way lay my routine. It's brilliant, the way I feel from exercising and being strong. I can't stop looking at myself.

Is it wrong to love Target as much as I do?

Like a deer caught in headlights, I am so awkward when I have to appear in public. This morning there was a health and wellness expo at my gym. I thought it was a good marketing idea.

When I arrived, it was clear to me, that I sabotage myself.  My display was spartan, I didn't feel completely prepared.*  It worked out fine in the end, but here is my lesson. I've got a list of items that I need to take care of, systems really, that will help me be prepared and professional.

That brings us up to date. I'm hosting bookclub tonight, we read Divisadero. Tomorrow is Friday Love and photobooth strips, but I'm busy at work and probably won't get back here until the weekend.

Smooches.

*The other acupuncturist at the expo, is someone I went to school with and we're friendly. She had a big herbal display and I know for a fact, that she didn't study herbs. Which chafes me, I have to admit. I studied ridiculously hard to be both an acupuncturist and herbalist and because there's no licensing on herbs in this country, herbal medicine is a supplement and anyone that wants to, can call themselves an herbalist.

I haven't felt like blogging much myself lately. It's great that you're busy doing good things!

That's awesome about the gym! Keep up the good work!

And I love Target too.

I have a Target love thing too. It would piss me off to have someone pass themselves off as something they're not but I've worked hard to be. Sorry I missed it- stuck inside all week with sick boy.

You are the busy kins. I like all of your pictures. You're such a cutie. If you ever need any new brochures or cards, you know where to come. We'd love to make identities for small businesses.

I heart target too, and now we're back to my first store. They carry Boots products form England, and I love this stuff. xoxoxo

I think it's wrong to NOT love Target as much as you do, just sayin'

I completely understand life getting in the way of blogging. It seems like your life is full. I wish I lived closer so I could come be a client. I've always wanted to try acupuncture.
