Wow what a year this has been for me! Some of the highlights-I celebrated a year tumor free, I graduated from grad school and fulfilled my dream of becoming a midwife, I got my first (dream) job. Life has been pretty awesome in 2013 and I hate to see it go. My big plans for tonight are to enjoy a nice glass or 2 of champagne to celebrate and rest up because the final countdown has begun. After what seems like forever, our clinic is finally opening next Tuesday. I have a host of emotions running rampant the two biggest of course being excitement and nervousness. There hasn't been much time to focus on those emotions though.
Our poor little clinic has had its fair share of ups and downs. I'm disappointed at some of the cattiness that has gone on from some of our competitors. I've chosen to take the high road but I must say its hard. We haven't opened our doors and yet it seems as though there are people out there looking to sabotage it. It's really sad because at the end of the day, our main focus should always be on the women we serve. Adding our practice is just another option for women of our community to get the type of care they want and deserve. That someone would undermine that with gossip and malice is doing those women a disservice.
Nevertheless, we are moving forward. We're opening our doors with scheduled patients and I can't wait to see our growth over this next year. I hope you all will continue to follow me on this journey and that you're just as excited as I am for whats to come over these next 12 months. See you in 2014!
