It’s that time of year my lovelies.

Acupuncture gift certificates are available! There is a fancy new menu button with all the details you need to get someone you care for the gift of… love? Health? Stress relief? Yes! All of the above!

One of these babies with some scrumptious chocolate (the selection at parkerandotis.com leaves me drooling) or a bottle of wine (wineauthorities.com has the BEST selection) is a little piece of heaven, and will score you some serious points.

These can also be purchased for future use by you, to ensure at some point (perhaps right before the big day(s)? Or post-holiday madness?) you get some acupuncture goodness for yourself as well.

Crazy big head skull dancers…

I went to the event at Outsiders Art & Collectibles (outsiders-art.com) last night. They had a great turnout, fabulous food trucks, nice weather, and some great art. There were lots of little ones and puppies milling around. I also got upstairs to see Happymessart.com , I’d read about them but didn’t realize they were in the same building. I saw some GREAT plush pets, check ‘em out there or at peculiar-pets.com. I want the dog smoking the cigarette.

I feel safe in saying these are some Paperhand Puppet actors dancing around. Their masks are fantastic! There was one particular dog that didn’t agree, however. I wish I’d gotten video of that.

Exciting news!

I’m moving to the Watts-Hillandale neighborhood! I found a sweet little rental on Englewood and I’m excited to be living in a part of Durham that’s within walking distance of ANYTHING… I’m looking forward to walking over to Nataraja for some yoga, to Joe Van Gogh for some coffee, and to Vaguely Reminiscent for, well, some shoes!

To celebrate my move I’m offering a special price on outcalls to my brand new neighbors – if you live in the Watts-Hillandale neighborhood, or in the Old West Durham neighborhood, an acupuncture outcall is $70. Contact me if you’d like some assistance feeling the way you want to feel and living the life you want to live.

This took longer then I thought it would…

Welcome to my new WP blog/site. I’m not the most website-buildin’ saavy gal, so it’s been an occasionally frustrating afternoon, but no worries, I shored myself up with some coffee and dark chocolate and now I’m all better.

I’m Maria. I’m an acupuncturist, I live in Durham, NC, and I do home visits for my clients. I’ve been in the area since late in ’07 and I am still exploring, and am often excited about what a cool town I’m living in. My clients are wonderful, interesting, great people and I love assisting them in feeling better.

This blog is going to be a random mix of acupuncture, Durham, life, and anything else that strikes me as interesting enough to share… talk to you soon.
