A Sunday Morning 🌄

This Sunday morning Keyani and I went to Starbucks for a light breakfast and then we went for a walk. 

We enjoyed mother nature and had a lot of fun going to a different place we have never been at the JMU Arboretum. 

We played with rocks, sticks,  flowers  and leaves. Every new step ‍♂️ of the way I kept sharing with her positive affirmations. If she was trying to walk by rocks I would make sure she knew she could do it without holding my hands and that if she fell it was ok to get back up. It was funny to hear her repeat my words. I know she is listening.

 

She would say hello to people that would walk by her, she would say “have a good day”. “Good morning”. It was just great to hear her trying to interact with adults since she has been spending most of her time just with us and no much contact with other kids. She is learning a lot. I’m so proud of her.

What things do you share with your kids to show positivism?

God Bless

Crown Council Annual Event

Crown Council is a place where fellow dentists and team members genuinely celebrate and encourage their fellow practitioners success. Their principles and fundamentals are essential to making any practice successful.

This is my second year and I enjoyed their speakers as much as I did last year. One tradition that I started is to purchase their books at their registration day.

If you are one of the countless people who don’t make a habit of reading regularly you may be missing out.

Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. Food for thought. Knowledge can never be taken away from you.

The outward Mindset by The Arbinger Institute will be teaching me how to change lives and transform organizations.

The ROI of Kindness by Biro and Mac Anderson will be teaching me how to help me teach others how to put a little kindness in our culture. My goal is to help others make the world a better place.

The apprentice model by Dr. David Phelps DDS will be teaching me how to help young leaders to have an exceptional life if they are willing to stand out from the crowd and aim for higher than average.

Lastly I have the Finish book by Jon Acuff, excellent and funny speaker. This book will help me to give myself the gift of done. When you are a leader one of your biggest hopes is that your team will finish its goals, but with thousands of distractions it gets harder and harder every year. I’m hoping this book helps me help others fix that problem.

Lastly I have my notebook where all of my notes were taken. Lots of wisdom is written down there and I just need to continue to get better so I can help my team and our patients.

God Bless,
