A Sweet Suprise

I recently bid farewell to my incredible tenure at Parkview Health, and my colleague Lori Whitman orchestrated the sweetest surprise on my last day. 💖

For years, Lori, with a sprinkle of assistance from Jana Vastbinder, Brian Spahr, Jon Swanson, and others, curated a daily dose of inspiration known as the "Daily Dose Express." 💌

This daily ritual has been a beacon of encouragement for our hundreds of coworkers, and it holds a special place in my heart.

On October 26, my farewell day, Lori unearthed a forgotten quote of mine. It read:

"Who are you? When you stop answering that question with your job title, you are on the path to a happier life. You are not, primarily, a job code. You are a human; loved, infinite, creative, and unique. You are a fingerprint. The only 'you' that the world will ever know. Your job is just one of the current expressions of your ultimate self."

Little did I remember this gem, but Lori brought it back into my world at the perfect moment. 🌟 It resonated deeply with me as I closed this chapter of my career after over ten incredible years.

And yes, a tear or two may have escaped. 😢 Grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the amazing colleagues who made this journey unforgettable. Here's to new beginnings and cherishing the essence of our true selves! 🚀💕 #LifeBeyondJobTitles #GratitudeInGoodbye
