marcoujor: Hot Off The Press

​This inspirational quotation seemed a perfect way to start off today’s post:

"When you're young, there's so much that you can't take in. It's pouring over you like a waterfall. When you're older, it's less intense, but you're able to reach out and drink it. I love being older." Sigourney Weaver

While I have embraced every decade of my life, for so many reasons, ”I love being older” as well. I treasure having a baseline for comparison. I am grateful for every life experience (even the most horrific) as it shapes who I am today.

I feel especially blessed to work with students of all ages, who are young in the profession of nursing. Students are largely responsible for my flourishing sense of humor and “young-at-heart” mindset. My students are on ongoing reminder that nursing is a noble, heart-centered and compassionate career choice.

I thank the colleagues whom I’ve worked with over the years. I continue to learn and be inspired by many of you. Some of you have reached out to share your wisdom in writing - with permission to incorporate in my latest book: “A Toolbox For Novice Nurses - From A to Z”.

I feel as though my mother is ever-present in each of the three books I have published since her death in May, 2010. I am thankful to the example she set, always reminding me of my value and power to make dreams come true - if meaningful enough.

May the messages in this book encourage the reader to believe in themselves in a similar way.

​Please consider sharing this with a young nurse in your life or someone starting out (or over) in a new career path.


Leaving you with one of my favorites from the one and only, David Bowie:​

Congrats on the new book, Mar! I took a sneak peek over on Amazon. Your toolbox seems like a must-have for young nurses and those who simply need to re-ground from time to time.

I wish you much success, my friend!

Maria, Somehow I always end up crying after your posts; however, crying is just what is needed. I loved the look of your toolbox including the loops and potentially locks as needed. Take care. Barbara

I love this, Maria. Your sensitive writing about any subject is pristine!

Yes, growing feels great and from birth onward, one is growing older. The accumulation of benefits gathers as one experiences each further decade of living. I embrace and relish them, too. And when they end, I'll be ready for that.

    Welcome to my desk...

    I am a work in progress, so a rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected every week!

    Pull up a comfy chair and make yourself at home.

    Thank you,
