Blog Policies

Comments:

I encourage comments, suggestions, and opinions. My hope is that this blog may become an online watering hole for like-minded "fellow travelers." In order to eliminate spam and other inappropriate comments, all comments are reviewed before they are published. I review comments frequently, however it may take up to 48 hours before your comment is published on the site. Comments will not be published if they include profanity, personal attacks, solicitations for products or services, or other inappropriate content. If, for some reason, your post has not appeared within a day or two, then please e-mail me directly at info@mindfulhands.com.


Disclosure:

This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. With that in mind, we make the following disclosures:

I own a small independent retail shop, called "Mindful Hands," in the historic district of Alexandria, Virginia. Mindful Hands is a specialty shop dedicated to helping people live gentler lives. We offer gifts and decorative accessories for the home and garden, including incense, statuary, books, and music that will lift your spirit and inspire you towards serenity. I will periodically review books, music, and other products that I have selected to sell in my shop and that I think may be of interest to readers of this blog. These reviews will be clearly labeled as "book review," "music review," etc.

I also occasionally accept advertiser-sponsored posts. These will always be labeled as such in the body of the post. I will only accept advertiser-sponsored posts when the product, topic, or service offered by the advertiser is in keeping with the values and principles of this blog. My promise to you is to always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.


Sponsorship Opportunities:

I am actively looking for sponsors for this blog. Sponsors' logos appear to the left of the blog with a link to your website. Monthly rates are available. If you would like to help sponsor this blog, please contact me directly at info@mindfulhands.com.
