Anniversaries
I missed posting about it here, because I've been swamped with work, but this past week was the one-year anniversary of my practice.
One year ago I saw my first patient through Autumn Care & Crossings Veterinary Hospice, taking the idea from idle whim to cautious concept to actual business. And I couldn't have done it without the help of more friends than I can list, my amazing husband, and a lot of other professionals who held my hand along the way.
I have a practice. It's successful - I'm getting word-of-mouth referrals, and making enough of a profit to cut back on my relief work to less than half-time. It's a year in and it's still going and getting bigger and better.
I'm celebrating this milestone by making a donation to the MSPCA in honor of every patient of AC&C that's passed away over this past year. And next year is going to be even better - the International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care is starting their certification program this June, and I'll be taking part in that, becoming one of the first certified hospice practitioners in the world.
A year. Wow. How the heck did that happen? Whatever else is going on in my body and my life, I am still lucky beyond words....
