Happy Holidays from All Ways Well
Now that Thanksgiving has passed and winter holidays are nipping at our heels, please allow me to wish you the very best this holiday season. I felt struck this year by how much I have to be thankful for - family, friends, the beauty and joy I find in the Emerald City and the thriving acupuncture practice I love, which I have thanks to all of you. So please accept my gratitude this holiday season and allow me to say thank you for choosing me to be involved in your health and your care. I feel honored by your trust, your referrals and your continued support.
Shop Locally This Holiday Season - The 3/50 Project
Holiday shopping has begun and while some people thrive on it, for many holiday shopping is one of the least enjoyable things many of us can count on doing each calendar year. This year, however, the 3/50 Project is here to help us think local and and shop smart. Many of you may have heard of this project already, but if you haven't the 3/50 Project is an effort to save the local economy three stores at a time. Its a simple request - think of 3 local independently owned businesses that you want to see stick around, and spend $50 at each one. If half the population spent $50 a month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Furthermore, according to the US Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, small businesses employ over half the country's private sector workforce in the United States truly making small business an essential part of our nation's backbone. Beyond revenue, imagine how many jobs could be preserved if not created if half or even 3/4 of the US population supported small local businesses. For more information about the 3/50 Project click HERE and if you have a choice between a local store and a large chain, think about shopping local as much as you can this holiday season.
Rebecca's Holiday Hours - book online anytime!
The holiday season marks my annual break to spend time with family, reflect on the past and prepare for the new year. Appointments for December 2009 are going fast, so if you want to get in before the end of the year please do call or go online to book today. I will be out of the office from December 23rd, 2009 to January 3rd, 2010 and will resume seeing patients Tuesday January 5th. My online schedule will continue to be up and running 24 hours a day, however, so you will still able to go online and book anytime. My calendar is already up and open for booking through the beginning of March 2010 so please go online and book away! The holiday season is a GREAT time to think about what you want for the coming year, and making a commitment to your health which includes a series of acupuncture, foot reflexology or massage appointments is a perfect way to ensure that you are putting your best foot forward towards a happy and healthy new year.
