‘All of our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them .’

Every other week we have orientation for the new hires. My job is to educate, train and check off the new clinical hires that will be going out into the offices and on the weeks there is no orientation, I am part of a team that is designing and building an electronic charting system.

As I stood in front of the class today, it struck me how a year ago, or even four months ago, I would have never believed I could be doing what I am doing now.

I am nervous in front of people. But over the last 90 days, I have learned to stand up in front of a class and teach the policies and procedures that they will need in their new positions.

I had designed a basic website before, but never would I believe I would be involved in such a large project that will impact such a huge community of doctors, nurses, and patients.

Wow! Talk about getting out of my comfort zones!

But I really am loving it.

I bought myself an early birthday present! Last Saturday at our chapter meeting, we had a new visitor that had the coolest playtoy and I decided I wanted one.

Check it out!

It is an NEC Mobile Pro handheld 790! It is only 9.64 in wide, 5.2 in long and weighs 1.69 lbs.

It is perfect for fitting into your purse on backpack or briefcase. The keyboard is 94% of a regular laptop.

I can’t wait to get it! I figure if it doesn’t work for me, I can sell it on ebay or something.

Growth–it’s a beautiful thing. All those marvelous little moments of realization that we’ve stepped outside of our comfort zone–and we manage just fine, thrive, in fact–are simply delicious, Sandy. 😀

The new toy looks super!

Michelle Says:

I am so in touch with this. If you had told me a year ago what I’d be doing today, I would have never believed it.

I’m so jealous of your new toy 🙂

Sandy Says:

Dennie: Hope it is going to be cool!

Daisy: I believe that is so very true. Gee, maybe if I start believing in myself as a writer…

Michelle: You never know even what tomorrow will bring!

Bailey Stewart Says:

Congratulations on the big step – I’m proud of you.

And I am uber-jealous of the new toy.
