Small Business Spotlight
Ammo Box Well, I sent out emails to folks, mentioned in previous posts that I was looking for someone to spotlight and otherwise begged and pleaded but, alas, I have not heard back from anyone to feature today for Small Business Spotlight but no worries! I have something else I can share with you today that we’ve kind of been sitting on. Back in February Em’ was contacted by a fellow who wanted to commission a special gift for a family member who is a Scout Leader to be given during an upcoming award ceremony.
We didn’t want to post this during March because we didn’t want to run the risk of possibly spoiling the surprise in case the recipient somehow got wind of it. What the guy had was on old Ammo Box that he wanted to have sanded and painted back to it’s original green color then decorated with the emblems of the scout troop and other symbols representing the Boy Scouts Of America.

Neat And Nifty / New And Interesting
Blessed Are The Cracked The other day Em’ received a phone call from a man named Bryan Malatesta who is starting a store in Cleburne, Texas and apparently a 24 hour per day, 7 day a week shopping channel which will be featuring only products made by American citizens and made in the United States. It will be called the Made In America store and will be a 2000 square foot shop in downtown Cleburne. Not only does he want to have Em’ add some of her artwork to the store at a reasonable consignment rate but he is looking for other artists, crafters, musicians and anyone else who makes things to also participate in this new store and shopping channel. I thought this was an interesting concept and one that catches on because as anyone who knows us knows, we’re all about shopping local and supporting local economies here. Here’s a link to the site they have up so far: http://madeinamericatv.com/tv/ and I think the store is scheduled to open around April 20th to 22nd. This might be worth looking into folks!

Paul Kennedy - Calming States Massage So tell us about Calming States Massage.
I am a licensed Massage Therapist and Calming States is the name of my practice. It is located on the west side of downtown Fort Worth, in the Camp Bowie District and very close to the Arts and Museum District and the Will Rogers area.What can people expect when they visit you?
Relief!
Kidding aside I offer several modalities here:- Swedish Massage, which is the basic foundation of Massage.
- Deep Tissue / Medical Massage – This works into the deeper muscle tissue and fascia (connective tissue) helping with severe or chronic tension,injuries or pain caused by heavy physical activity.
- Reflexology – This is a technique used to stimulate the thousands of nerve endings found in each foot. These nerve endings correspond to specific parts of the body, including bones, nerves, organs and glands. By stimulating the appropriate region, it is intended to eliminate energy blockages thought to produce pain or disease in the related areas. Reflexology can be relaxing as well as help relieve stress and tension throughout the body.
- Reiki – A Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.
- It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Continue reading
