2015 – Whatcha Gonna Do With It?

, , , , , ,
As I sit here on New Year’s Day eating a piece of leftover coffee cake (thank you to Carmela), I reflect on the pressure we find ourselves in to set “resolutions”. On New Year’s we feel obligated to “start over”, to reflect on…

Responsibility and Our Own Actions

, , , , , ,
With the risk of making people angry at me, I felt compelled to write this article.  It’s not intended to insult anyone but to make people THINK on their own and to stop casting blame.  Guess what?  WE are part of every situation and…

Congrats on Building Your Dream!

I woke up to this message on my LinkedIn this morning. "Congrats on Building Your Dream".  What better way to start the day? Yes, I do believe I've "built my dream".  I'll explain. As many of you know, I've worked in healthcare since 1987,…
