San Francisco video news http://bit.ly/c3KGry

I haven’t ridden SF Muni that much over the past few weeks.  The weather has been really nice and I’ve been able to build some walking time into my schedule.  This doesn’t mean that the usual craziness is going down somewhere on MUNI.   Look at this insane video.  I hope they catch these “people.”  Thanks to SFGate for the link.

I recently had an introductory visit at Heaven Qi & Earth with Elizabeth McDowell.  I met Elizabeth when she decided participate in SavantMD.com during the early Fall 2009.  To date, I have generally been agnostic about alternative medicine.  It has plenty to offer but it’s not an avenue that I frequent pursue with my own health. Although, I once visited a Chinese herbologist in Flushing New York.  I think I went to Flushing more for the free ride and the food than to see the herbologist.

After working with Elizabeth for a few months, I was deeply impressed with her ability able  blend Western and Eastern Medicines and to clearly communicate the concepts between Eastern Medicines which prior to meeting Elizabeth ranged fuzzy to downright baffling.

So, I decided to put aside my (mild) skepticism) and see Elizabeth for an assessment visit.

It was great!! As always her office was comfortable and welcoming.  Personally, the highlight of my visit was this “pulse” test that she did.  It was interesting and oddly accurate.  The main takeaway I got was to watch what I put into my body, there is simply no substitute for a healthy diet.

It was time well spent.  you can find her office here.

Last night I had the pleasure of leading a social media session with some members of the  Engage Her team.  Engage Her is a national organization dedicated to educating and activating multicultural women and their communities about the most important issues they care about.  I’m very excited that Engage Her will be partnering with SavantMD in the very near future.

Engage is getting ready to kick off a very exciting video campaign and I was lucky enough to share some thoughts about social media, communities and conversations.  Mable Yee, (the driving force behind Engage Her) was in attendance  along with team members Briana , Meenakshi and Tameeka.  We were fortunate that Sylvia Paull, and Engage Her board member Susan Mostajo were also able to join us.

We discussed strategies, tactics, and tools to help Engage Her execute successfully on their upcoming video campaign.   They’e already got the pieces in place for a great campaign so I can’t wait for the rollout.

Side note to Mable, I rocked this post using Posterous, Twitter, Facebook and just for kicks  …  I tossed in a bit.ly link to SavantMD’s health tip here.
