Happy August! Can you believe August is here? I don't know where this year has gone! I am living with intention, enjoying every day and it is still whipping by.

August is a great time for reflection as far as your personal and professional growth are concerned. It is a time that is quiet on the home front and for many, a time for summer holidays.

Before you know it, we will be "hitting the pavement" and back to the hustle and bustle of every day life with school and activities for many families.

August is the time to reflect and evaluate your accomplishments for the year thus far.

Are you on-track for your goals? Are you feeling satisfied with your professional growth? Have you participated in learning activities that will enhance your career, your practice and client/patient care? Or are you feeling behind? Are you feeling perhaps a little stagnant and looking forward to learning something new?

Grab a pen and your journal! If you have your goals written down, take a look at them. Do you have to revise, remove or reignite what you have written down?

I know for me, I have been focusing on my health this summer and am on target. After my accident a few years ago and then again breaking my other ankle last year, I hadn't been feeling like myself. Now with lots of swimming and focusing on my overall health, I am feeling more like my old self :) I still have some work to do but as I sat this morning journaling, it reminded me that we only have a little bit left of this year and I am feeling motivated to not only reach my personal goals but my professional ones as well.

We have some pretty amazing career enrichment programs scheduled for the Fall both Live Online and In-Person. And don’t forget, the All Access Virtual Pass is available until August 31st, if you are thinking of participating in more than 2 courses, it will be worth it!

I hope you feel inspired to take this month and plan the last quarter and a bit of the year to make this your Best Year Yet!

Have a great week!
