What has changed in our lives? Are we going through the motions until the gate opens and we get back to whatever we were doing before the virus showed up? Dr. Jeanette shared on a recent radio show about how will we rise up: Peace, kindness, compassion and empathy; how do we define their existence and how do we engage in giving and receiving. It is a loop that is to be created with love and understanding. Are you giving and receiving unconditionally? Doug Carnine and Dr. Jeanette recently discussed the aspects of these words and how we may look…

Consider: how uncomfortable are you willing to be to create change in not only your world but the world around you? Feeling pushed to give up your habits and beliefs these days? What about your livelihood and businesses? Seeing lives ending way too soon and without warning? Perhaps we have become accustomed to access of all that makes our world flow easily on a daily basis. What happens when access is aborted or denied? Is it time to find the source of that ‘problem’ and get rid of it? Might a door closed, an abrupt ending, be a new start,…
Thought for the week to consider: How has life changed for you? Are you looking to go ‘back’ to the way you had things? What would you like to see change for your life going forward? The fork in the road has already altered our lives and if we consider this as a great opportunity for self reflection, might we let go of getting back to anything.

Join Dr. Jeanette as she shares on radio, blog postings and social media for the latest updates and thought provoking concepts of creating a new…
Do you need a hug, I know I do! This social distancing has made all humans fear the existence of another human being. Have we taken a fear and escalated it to epic proportions to keep us from dying a harsh death or challenging us to consider that something outside of ourselves may harm us fatally? The very systems we put into place to save us at all costs, such as healthcare and religion, are now crumbling at the core. What will happen to us as humans? Will we falter and crumble? Might we take what we see, fix what…

Copyright 2010 Out of the Box Healthcare All Rights Reserved Notice anything in this picture? We did. We thought perhaps the bird just had it’s leg up or it was turned. So we decided to check our other five photos of the same birds. We discovered that the same two birds had only one leg. Yet, if you were not looking for it, you would not have noticed it. So, if you are in a group of people, do you know all there is to know about them? Are they standing on one foot? If you walk down your…
Below is an article I wrote many years ago which describes how I feel about the dental hygiene profession. It is my opinion and the original article is available below. Thank you for coming here.

I spoke with you previously concerning my personal disgust with that article and hope there are other dental hygienists who are not as idealistic and superior as to refer to this large…
