“A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead
As a kid, did you want to grow up to help people and change a corner of the world? If so, take a deep breath and realize you’re living your dream. Seriously, shed all the stress for a moment and take that in. Countless lives are better because of you.
You, as neonatal therapists, are more powerful than you know.
The more I learn about us as a group, the more I realize how much our unique perspective is needed in the NICU. Not just needed, but necessary. As much as we may think others see things the way we see them, it’s just not true. We complement the existing knowledge and add a facet to research and bedside care that no one else can.
Of course therapists have worked in the NICU all along – but building a united voice on such a strong foundation is leading us toward an even brighter future.
And I just want to say I’m grateful to be part of that ride.
When I experience your passion, and your incredible knowledge and drive, I know we are on the cusp of something more amazing than we can envision.
Or maybe we can envision it – we actually felt it at the 2013 conference. It feels like elation, excitement, growth and connectedness all in one.
I can’t wait to see how you continue to change the world.
One tiny life at a time.
