It’s finally a beautiful sunny day here in Dallas although a bot colder than I prefer.

Guess what! I got recognized for an award here in Dallas for small businesses! You can read their press release at the bottom of this blog post.

It’s so nice to be recognized and to receive awards (any kind of award)! I got this notification regarding Dallas acupuncturists and small businesses in Dallas a few days ago and thought I’d share. It seems partially to be about marketing, which I find hilarious since I do next to no marketing whatsoever. I guess it was more about the “enhancing the positive image of small businesses through service to their customers and our community” part that got me noticed. And it is certainly a compliment to be noticed for those qualities in business. I can’t say it often enough: support small businesses! Your local corner market, farmers market, meat provider, dairies, bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants, clothiers, tailors, auto mechanics, appliance repair - we have lots of options of where to do business, and supporting a small independent business really helps our community overall, in more ways than we can count. For anything you need to do, I encourage you to explore and do some research to see if there is a local small business you could visit and shop from as opposed to a corporate owned store.

I am ever grateful to my lovely patients and the Dallas community for supporting my acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practice for all these years (I’m in my 16th year of acupuncture practice in Dallas now - I can hardly believe it! Add to that the three years I spent as an intern in the grad school clinics and I’m at 19 years of treating patients)!

Thank you, thank you, Dallas community, for the recognition and the award!
