This month, when I sat down to think about what Chiropractic tip, mindfulness technique or just health tip in general that I wanted to share with you all, I instead was pulled to the thought of, not what I can do for you, but what you have done for me, and felt the need to say THANK YOU from the depths of my soul! See 3 years ago, I was dealt a very difficult blow. My relationship of 23 years came to an end. She was my first love, the mother of my then 3 amazing children, and essentially my best friend. I felt lost, confused, and for the first time, I questioned my purpose. Why am I sharing this with you? Well, I’ll tell ya.
There were 2 constants in my life that kept me sane, 1. The support of close friends and family 2. My chiropractic practice. To be able to have a few people to talk to, deep and meaningful conversations, along with clients that still came to see me in my office, that’s what kept me going.
I fully admit, I was in zombie state for those months, just going through the motions, and it wasn’t just from the lack of sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I was doing my best and showing up, but I was nowhere near what you as a client then deserved. For that I am deeply sorry.
But I want you to know something… You may not of known it, but you showed up for me when I needed it the most!
You have no idea how important it was for me to see you through those times. It was rough, the toughest part of my life to date, and you kept showing up. You kept me going, gave me purpose and you cared for me, your doc. That meant a lot.
I am in deep gratitude for you being there for me during that time.
The irony is that you come to our office for help, but you were way more help to me than I could have imagined I helped you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
And thankfully, my life has improved, SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED. It took some time, but I was able to see light through the darkness, with faith and support of close friends and family. I began being optimistic about my future. During that time, I figured I'd be single the rest of my life and it wasn't until October of 2019, I could finally imagine being in another relationship. At the time I had no idea how great my life could possibly end up becoming.
Little did I know then that I would not only be growing my chiropractic practice into a full wellness center, but I would be growing my family with the addition of a new love relationship and a new baby girl! Yet, through all the challenge of the past and the success of transitioning through it all, I still very clearly remember YOU being there for me during that difficult time 3 years ago.
I simply wanted to let you know, you each are like a big extended family to me.
And going forward, I’m here for you.
