Dooley Noted: 1/1/2016&
It was on this day in 2011 that Dooley Noted was incepted.
It was a New Years resolution to write daily for one year.
It became a positive habit I’ve never broken.
Today marks its 5 year anniversary, with today being the 1,827th post.
It waxes and wanes in popularity, shares, and likes.
And that has never concerned me.
My only focus was my own consistency with writing it.
The writing started as simply nutrition and movement.
But as I dug deeper into the presentations of my patients (and myself), I learned how perceptions and emotions affected our health.
The content shows the range of who I am as a professional and as a person, since there’s a fine dividing line.
My work is not a job.
Every patient, student and reader gets the experience shared in this blog.
Everyone matters.
And should these observations benefit just one person besides me, it shall remain written until it’s time to stop.
Thank you, readers, for helping me maintain a New Year’s resolution five years running.
Thank you for your fearless feedback via email and comments.
Thank you for inspiring what you read.
Thank you for encouraging the deep dig into what health really means.
I hope we find each other here daily in 2016.
As always, it’s your call.
– Dr. Kathy Dooley
