New name, expanded mission and a kick a** website.

How does one keep up the momentum and vigor for a profession long into it? Especially one as difficult as the veterinary medicine.

The veterinary community is starting to realize that we are in real trouble. We are headed towards a massive vet shortage in an already overworked profession. Veterinarians are strong enough now to ask for help and be vulnerable because the alternative is too painful to contemplate. The time is now to make changes within our profession and we must join together to seek a better way of life.

But how do we wake up? How do we stop sleepwalking through life before decades have flown by? The answer is way more simple than you can imagine.

Nothing could have prepared us for what we faced getting our animals to Hawaii and for the most part we kept our sense of humor. It wasn’t until the end that we began to lose it, replaced with fear and fatigue. These are, after all, our family members and we would never leave a man behind.

Even if you are mildly fatigued, do not wait until you have reached your breaking point. Let our loving community surround you. Let’s drink delicious wine together and learn the art of turning inward. Mark your calendar for April 3rd-6th, 2025 and watch our website for the ticket launch. It will be our greatest honor to host you in Northern California.

Living in the present is truly a gift and staying focused on living in the present is truly difficult.  It takes intention and practice daily.

At the end of your work day, before you walk into your home carrying the day with you, meditate to release it. The work day is over so just let it go.

How do we know when to let go, who to trust and how to delegate? Often we get stuck here and refuse to move forward taking on all the tasks ourselves and thus solidifying our fantastical and rapid self-inflicted implosion, aka burnout.

Spend five minutes each morning setting intentions for a beautiful and peaceful day.
