Stop everything you're doing right now and go to the newsstand to pick up a copy of the June Oprah Magazine. Why? Because Mei Zen Facial (Cosmetic) Acupuncture is featured on page 164. Mei Zen is the facial acupuncture system co-developed and taught internationally by Denver's own Dr. Martha Lucas. The photo in O was taken at the practice of Martha's New York student, Dr. Melinda Mingus.

In addition to developing the Mei Zen system, Martha is also the author of Vanity Calamity (http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0578026295/mockerybird/ref=nosim) -- plus, most importantly, she's my acupuncture practitioner of ten years. Thank you, Martha, for being an acupuncture trailblazer! I admire your passion and dedication to Chinese medicine www.acupuncturewoman.com.

If you're interested in learning more about the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System and not in the Denver area for assistance from Dr. Lucas, you can find a MeiZen certified acupuncture practitioner in your area at this link: http://www.cosmeticacupunctureseminars.com/practitioners.html.

In May had a brush with history, as they say, when I got to participate in a client meeting with advertising legend and now Colorado natural resource (and CU honorary PhD) Alex Bogusky at his relatively new headquarters in Boulder called the Fearless Cottage. He was being shadowed by a writer from Fast Company, so this important personal event for me was duly witnessed by the media. I'm recording it here [originally on Facebook} for posterity (that's what we do now). Plus to give perspective on how this ranks with my other historical brushes of note: 1978, lunch presentation and photo opp with the "Best Print Copywriter Ever" Bob Levenson http://hogd.pbworks.com/Bob-Levinson-DDB-ad-Do-This-Or-Die; 1991, PRSA Counselors Academy Luncheon with "The Father of PR" Edward Bernays http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays; and 2008, lunch (I sat right by him for the entire meal) and photo opp with Guy Kawasaki "New Technology and Startup guru" http://www.guykawasaki.com/about/index.shtml. That's me with Guy K. in the jpg.

Here's to being inspired by the truly high achievers in our professions!
