All other conference organizers-please take notice-the bar has been raised! American Massage Conference Bats 1000I spent the weekend with over 1000 massage students and therapists, plus all the great vendors and support staff in Atlanta this weekend at the inaugural American Massage Conference. I’d have to say they definitely batted 1000! A good time was had by all! There were just too many good moments to talk about...

Civil DiscourseCivil discourse, according to Wikipedia, is engagement in conversation intended to enhance understanding. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, when it comes to that.
