 Psychologists have tried to connect the dots. Childhood, Your parents, Your past relationships… We think, “I’m too old; I’m too young. "I didn’t go far enough in school; I have college degrees that don’t help. "I’m too skinny; I’m too fat. "I grew up without opportunities; The economy went bad; The climate is wrong for me…” When actually, you are making every decision, every choice, every perspective you have. What you make of your life is a result of the choices you make. This is great news! It’s you! - and you can choose from an amazing array of choices at every turn. Choose well. Start now. Love every minute.

Two pioneering orthodontists, Walter Doyle and Robert Ricketts, were incredible and gifted innovators. What made these two brilliant men different?  Isn’t it amazing how hard we are on ourselves? We judge, and assume others judge us the same way as we do ourself. And yet, most times people don’t notice - UNLESS they are busy judging themself and using you as a measure, for good or for bad. Don’t worry if people don’t seem to like you. Most folks are merely struggling to like themselves. And there you are to utilize as a measure, a comparison. You do the same thing. We all do. Get to loving everyone around you - and the others will like you a lot… And you’ll like yourself a lot! Love you!
Two of my nieces had the same diagnosis relating to airway problems - and two wildly different experiences in their treatment. Being on time in every aspect of a dental practice makes for happier patients, sure. But it also makes for happier doctors and staff. Here's how to do it.
Have you ever thought about how so often, you don't know what you can do until you actually do it?
And, you don’t know what you can be until you find you’ve become it? When you think about it, it’s all about using your courage to start. Because, you are so much more than you can know. Saw a beautiful reminder of this that Deepak Chopra posted: You - a bright shining star in this gorgeous Universe. Step out. Go after whatever you want to be, to do, to have. I love you and your light!
There is a simple adjustment the dentist can make to his or her office that can make a huge difference. Here's the secret. There are daily actions that will make every dental practice better. What are they?  Know that within you NOW is the Divine ability to manifest or attract everything you need or desire. Know that all you desire is on its way; it will arrive on time, and in even greater amounts than you have imagined. Think upon these thoughts. Feel your gratitude. Live your gratitude. “Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Your words are the greatest power you have. The words you choose and their use establish the life you experience.” ~ Sonia Choquette There you have it. Miracles on their way. Now the trick is to notice them! “One of the major obstacles to our experience of gratitude is the habit we have of sleepwalking through life. The truth is that we are never lacking for blessings in our lives, but we are often lacking in awareness and recognition of them.” ~ Diane Berke Happy day, happy week! Love,
