Dr. Jeanette asked these questions on her recent radio show, Wellness Radio with Dr. Jeanette, and here is a clip from that show: Consider ‘normal’ is the concept of life where you feel comfortable, safe and secure. Perhaps we are at a door where we have stepped into the unknown and it is the only way to go, going forward. Can we allow ourselves to let go of the past and create a new future? 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. RDH Magazine: Readers’ Forum Nov 1, 2003 Serve those in need with compassion by Jeanette Gallagher Dear RDH: I am writing in reference to the article, “Rolling with the Punches” (“New Heights” column, September 2003). 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…

by Ariane de Bonvoisin I have a son called Everest, who has proudly just turned 5. (And started Kindergarten he would add!) Nothing however makes him more happy, excited and I guess proud of his blossoming relationship with the elders he sees in his New York city neighborhood. It all started one day when he was walking home from his martial arts class, still in uniform, and noticed an old man with a walker, walking I might add, very slowly. Everest said “Hi”. The man didn’t hear or notice this tiny human, so Everest tried again, this time a little…

Who are we? What is our life made of? What have we done in our life? Are we measured by what outward accomplishments we have accumulated and what others believe us to be? Our lives pass so very quickly and rarely do we take time to stop and reflect on who we really are and what we are really made of.
