Planning for 2012: My 3 Words

Kathy — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:34:52 +0000

If you’ve been reading here for awhile, you may recall that last year I selected 3 words for 2011. I did that following a post by a blogger I follow, Chris Brogan, who suggested that 3 words to define the upcoming year was a better plan than making resolutions. I tend to agree with that [...]

Three Words Revisited

Kathy — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:00:42 +0000

Last December as the new year approached, we had a discussion here about our three words for 2011. Now it’s September, 9 months later, school is starting for many, new things are happening, and it seemed a good time to revisit those three words. For me personally, the last few weeks have been a bit [...]

Building Unusual Relationships

Relationships are so important in our lives. Here’s a post we had last year where we talked about the value of relationships and about building unusual ones. When I lived in Barbados, there was a saying that you had to “have a person” for everything. It just meant you had a connection with someone. For [...]

One of my favorites, republished as I take a few days off. Today I will be celebrating two years of marriage with my awesome husband in the city of Vegas. Enjoy! First, one of my favorite quotes by Mark Twain: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t [...]

Inspired: It’s All About Attitude

Kathy — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 12:00:46 +0000

I love this quote from Thomas Jefferson: Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. We are two weeks into a new year, where people have created goals for themselves. For many medical transcriptionists, that goal is [...]

Medical Transcription: I Have a Dream

Kathy — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 12:00:50 +0000

Today our country celebrates Martin Luther King Day, a man who fought and gave his life in the battle for civil rights. When I think about that and realize that it was less than 50 years since that speech was given, it’s sometimes hard to wrap my head around that. And yet, I can remember [...]

Medical Transcription and Setting Goals

Kathy — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 12:00:47 +0000

The medical transcription profession is perhaps one of the most “measured” professions I know. There seems to be a metric for everything. In order to meet those standards, MTs must have a good method for setting goals. So today’s let explore that a bit, using a well-known system called SMART goals. This works well whether [...]

Is Fear Holding You Back?

Kathy — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 12:00:07 +0000

Today I’ve been thinking a lot about how sometimes fear grips us and won’t let go. I believe it’s pertinent at the beginning of a new year because we set goals and resolutions for ourselves and then the panic starts about whether we can accomplish them. Sometimes I think we actually are afraid we just [...]
