Back to Running Down a Dream

Back to Running Down a Dream

13 weeks. It’s been 13 weeks of physical therapy (PT), doing my PT exercises multiple times daily, and patience … And I finally have the green light to run!!!!! I started the Couch to 5k (C25k) running plan this morning, Saturday, May 25, and so 

Give yourself some patience, love and grace

I am feeling uninspired this week. Anyone else? I also have been feeling tired and rundown from just trying to keep up with all the things. It’s hard finding that balance between working towards your goals and taking time for rest and fun. I often

Having Patience Is Not Easy

I’m still here!

I’m bummed I haven’t kept up with posting at least once per week. That was my goal. Life took over and unfortunately I haven’t kept up here. I miss this writing and plan to take some control back. Yes!

So what’s been going on you ask?

I had a last minute temping opportunity come up doing dentistry over 1.5hrs away. Ironically that temp job came up after I applied to several dentisting jobs which then led to lots of calls and e-mails about those permanent positions.

I also had my first Revenue Analysis Consult (RAC) with Benco Dental in my practice coach position in those couple weeks as well.

Then I traveled to Ohio to visit with family.

Now I’m back!

But struggling more than ever.

I’m super happy to be back home. And with my dogs 🙂 But I’m finding that there are not many dentist job options available for part-time. It makes me really sad.

Yesterday I had an interview and most of the docs work 4 if not 5 days a week. Another call I had for a different company works 7am-7pm!

Let me tell you if I worked 7am-7pm you would not want to be my patient!

There is one possibility that I’m working on having patience with that could be a good one so being patient it is.

Since I have now done my first Benco Dental RAC delivery I’m hoping that more come along as well.

Of course there’s the lingering question in my mind about what is the long-term goal or solution? As I’ve mentioned I’d like to get out of clinical dentistry all-together but I’m not sure what that entails or looks like right now.

It’s so hard being patient and having faith that things will work out as they should. I try to remember this quote from the book, The Alchemist, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Stay tuned!
