Buying in the Neighborhood - Edition Eight (8)

Is it cold out there or what?  Wow, surely Arizona will start to warm up soon.  I got a huge birthday bash I am planning for March and we will be through the middle of February in about a week and a half and if the weather doesn't start looking up soon, no outdoor parties here!  I know those patio locations here and other outdoor venues are hurting but give it some time, the heat will be back and it will be with a vengeance as they often say.  So now that it is clear indoor activities are the best right now, one of my most favorite involves relaxing with your eyes closed and letting someone else do all the work.

Get your mind out of the gutter!!!!  I was talking about a spa and relaxation treatment commonly referred to as a MASSAGE.  You thought this was going to be a special story didn't you....well it is.  Because Arizona is a destination location for many things and we do have lots of sun, fun, and activities, we also have lots of places you can go to enjoy the spa treatments, such as facials, salons, manicures, pedicures.  You name it, you can find it.   One thing however which is extremely personal is that massage.  Why you ask, because if you plan to have a really good massage, you often don't just go anywhere or just let anyone give you a massage.  There are many reasons for this, probably too many to mention, but needless to say, you want to find a masseur or masseuse, as they are often called, that understands your needs, your triggers for your muscle pains, sensitive spots on your back, shoulder, arms, legs, neck, or whereever.  I have been fortunate and not so fortunate at times to run across individuals that sometimes understand how to give a good massage, but they are few and far between.  I do know one individual (http://mmimassage.com/default.aspx) that I would highly recommend and they don't even claim to be the best or try to pull that ego trip on you, their main purpose and sole desire really is to help others through their gifted talent of providing you relief, relaxation, and improvement to your body mechanics through the course of massage. 


Me, Myself & I. Massage Therapy by Don

Don Bearham of Me, Myself & I (http://mmimassage.com/default.aspx), is a perfect example of someone who actually cares about what he does.  He might not claim to be the best in the universe, but he works to be the best he can be.  Doing massages is not just about making a living but it is a way of life for Don.  I asked Don directly to tell me what makes him different from others.  I'd like to provide a excerpt from a discussion he shared with me,

"I believe it’s about balance, tolerance and awareness and not about any quick fix that is being sold on TV or by the giant Pharmaceutical companies. However what I try and do is create a flow and whether that is blood, lymph or energy I really don’t mind. I think that the body is b****y marvelous and given a chance to work at its optimal level can cure itself of a lot of problems." Don Bearham, 1/29/2011.

I don't think I could have said that better myself.  Truly, Don is gifted and tries to help those who come in contact with him.  He delivers through his massage more than just the relief and relaxation you might be seeking, but his passion for his calling comes across.  If only everyone could be so passionate about what they do everyday and how they live their life.  I highly recommend the services of Don Bearham of Me, Myself & I (http://mmimassage.com/default.aspx).  Please check out their facebook page as well - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Me-Myself-I-Massage-Therapy-by-Don/119125364813686?v=wall
