1. Quote I love… “Well done is better than well said.” -Benjamin Franklin The world is full of talkers. I like doers! We talk about change, but we don’t change. We talk about doing better, but we don’t do better. I love leaders, athletes, and human beings in general that silently achieve. They talk less…
1. Moving video I re-watched this week… I saw this story/video about ten years ago. I’ve never forgotten the gist of the story, but could not remember the details. Last weekend, I searched for it online numerous times, trying every combination of words, but could not find it. Finally, I found it… and it was…
1. Great story I heard this week… I received a text from a friend (thanks, Al B.!) with a picture of the following story. I believe I would have had to sit down for a moment after reading it had I been standing up. I love stories, especially true stories, that move me. This one…
1. Coolest thing I saw this week… After last Tuesday’s rain, a rainbow emerged. I’m not sure the pics I took quite do it justice, but it was the most vibrant, clear rainbow I have ever seen. And I believe it is the first time I saw a complete rainbow. Check out the pics and…
1. Podcast I was a guest on this week… John DiJulius invited me to be a guest on his podcast, The Customer Service Revolution Podcast. The title… Health and Wellness has Never Been More Vital Than It Is Today. John does a great job with interviewing and getting his guests to open up and share…

1. Cool thing I witnessed this week… I have a patient who was unable to keep his regular appointments in our office for the last few months because of COVID. He is on a wellness plan and pre-paid for the full year of care. At his appointment this week, he was talking about coming more…
1. Great talk I watched this week… I was sent a video of a talk by Scott Calloway, called The Algebra of Happiness (thanks, John DiJulius!). I loved it… and I know you will too. It’s a fast 30-minute presentation loaded with some thought provoking and practical info. If, at the end of the day,…
1. Story I re-read this week… Here is a story that I believe I first read years ago in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book. It popped into my head this week, so I looked it up and re-read it. Doctor Jim Clark was fighting for his patient’s life. Little Liz had a rare…
1. Person I was thinking about this week… My mom sent a reminder this week that Monday would have been my grandparents’ anniversary. She included a couple of pics. My grandfather, Bill Padavick, is one of my ALL TIME favorite people. He was always laughing and joking around, was kind and caring, and lived a…
