A Change In Plans
The weather this morning is bad and forecasted to get even worse before it’s all over. The Foot Pursuit 5K is being rescheduled for probably August.
I’m disappointed, but it does look like tomorrow is going to clear off for the afternoon which is good because as a backup to today being stormed out I’ve made arrangements to work the Dispatch Dash 5K in Decatur.
Check my Facebook page for event information and I hope to see you there!

My First Sporting Event!
One of the things I’ve been wanting to do as an Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapist is do events with my portable bars. Heck, it’s why I invested all those dollars on the portable bars.
Up until now I haven’t had much luck insinuating myself into any local events. Until yesterday when a friend texted and asked if I would donate a gift certificate to support The Special Olympics via the Decatur Police Department’s annual Torch Run. I had been involved with this organization in years past and immediately agreed.
Then I pitched, “How about I come out and work your event?” She got excited, I got excited, then we figured out I was going to be out of town that weekend, but wait, there’s another event this weekend closer to where we live.
So… Harvest Moon Massage Therapy & Reflexology will be at the Foot Pursuit 5K this Saturday giving out free massages!
Where: St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 1450 Sparkman Street, Hartselle, AL
When: March 26, ~7am – 10:30am
I would love to see you there!
And here’s a gratuitous plug for my friend / Ashi-Thai instructor. She is the subject of an article about Ashi and Athletes and put up some lovely pictures from one of her events.

How to Get Your Massage CEUs
I recently had an email exchange with a member from the board of the American Massage Therapy Association – Alabama Chapter (AMTA-AL). I was trying to gather information about becoming a demonstrator/vendor at the AMTA Alabama State Spring Convention (April 29 – May 1). And while they no longer have a vendor portion of their convention I did find out that they will be hosting several opportunities for CEUs over the three days.
They’re affordable as well, for AMTA-AL members $30 entry into the convention and as many CEUs as you can cram into the three days. For non-members $30 entry fee and then $15 per CEU course.
The courses listed in the email were Ethics, Energy Work, Shoulder Anatomy and Protocol, and Active Isolated Stretching… This can’t be all and as soon as my Alabama Kneads newsletter gets here I’ll put up a more complete list and possibly a schedule.
So if you need your CEUs come on out to Decatur and get all you need for a much more economical rate than having to travel to multiple locations. Oh, and don’t forget to look me up and say hi!

A Place of Our Very Own
I finally took the plunge and bought a real domain name for Harvest Moon Massage Therapy & Reflexology. If you look up in the address bar, you’ll see that we’re now listed as harvestmoonmassage.com instead of the old harvestmoonmassage.wordpress.com. Easier, eh?

A Door Closes And a Window Bangs Open
Still riding the disappointment from the cancellation of the Body Reading class, I answered my phone Wednesday afternoon. It was the host of a travel show that is produced locally wanting to know if I’d be interested in partnering with his show to get some “free” advertisement.
In actuality it’s a “no money upfront” deal, but it does get me a lot of exposure for a couple of hours commitment each week.
Having never dealt with television before, I was whipped up into the whirlwind of filming. We actually filmed my spot yesterday and it will air for the first time Monday evening with voiceover from the host of the show. I’ll go on the 21st to do my voiceover and I presume it will run with my voice for the duration of the season.
If you’d like to tune in and you’re in the Decatur, Hartselle or Athens area and you have Charter cable, tune to channel 20 (WYAM 51) Monday night at 7pm. You’re looking for the Alabama Traveler show. If you’re not local, don’t worry, I’ll have a video up here as soon as it is ready.
