Several experiences this week had me really considering the growth process...a funeral, summer camp, and a mastermind meeting. In life we have experiences that stretch us, and it can hurt and isn't easy or comfortable, but through this process we can be remade into something new.

Today it was my pleasure to interview CDR Jerrol Wallace, an active duty Navy Nurse Anesthetist and we talked about his journey from being anti-military to being on track to get his PhD 28 plus years later. This self-described "chronic student" and I discussed a variety of things from nursing education, fibromyalgia, course work, and the realities of military life to the importance of advocacy and self-reflection. Regardless of your occupation, his advice on being mission-minded, investing in yourself and your future, and always doing your best applies across the board. It was fun to reminisce a bit, too, since we served together over 2 decades ago. Thank you for your continued service, CDR Wallace, and I'll be cheering you on as you continue to uplevel. 

Lately I feel like things are here, there, and everywhere as we wrap up this school year and prep for summer travel. I am behind and sideways and upsidedown and inside out and everywhichway in between. Going from one thing to the next, and the next, and so on. Life is FULL. Here's how a little shift in prayer is helping me today, and I hope it can help you too.
