If you look around, you’ll see that we all have our unique personalities, lives, and agendas. Our individuality is exactly what makes us special. If each of us are all independent beings who march to our own rhythms, then how can we simultaneously all “be one?” It’s also hard to imagine how I can “be one” with a complete stranger driving in […]

The last road trip I took was in dental school– that’s over 20 years ago! It made sense at the time. We had an extended break and very little money to pay for travel. Based on the time commitment and the lack of comfort, I thought they were a thing of my past. But a few months ago, the road trip came back on my radar. My mom moved into a smaller house, and she had some goodies that she wanted to share with me. It wasn’t enough stuff to pay for a […]

It was 2 years after I had officially quit dentistry. After blogging for some time, I met the first of many other dentists who had also experienced life after dentistry. I was so excited to meet Rick, a dentist and fellow blogger. A lot has changed since then. I no longer hide behind the screen name, Lolabees, and Rick has also evolved his own career. That is the great thing about taking that leap the first time– once you do it, you never fear changing again. Check out his guest […]

In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll go back to the very beginning.  This whole blog started because during desperate times of wanting change, I mustered up the courage to enter a silly little contest.  My task was to make a short video showcasing my skills in order to win a travel show host gig.  If you knew me then, you would see that I am the last person who would […]

We can make plans and have dreams and hopes for our lives, but we never really know how things will turn out.  When I was in college, I didn’t know what I wanted to do.  The only thing I knew was that I enjoyed studying and speaking Spanish.  It really was the only thing I […]

While I’ve summarized my journey into and out of dentistry on this blog, I realize I haven’t shared much of how life has been “post-retirement.”  It’s no secret that I believe it was the best decision I could have made for myself.  It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but it was right.  I am finally content, and […]
