It’s true! I used the Google.

As an update, I am currently working on a couple guest posts at the moment. Those pieces, along with some upcoming recruiting events, I expect the spurring of some creative ideas for future content. For today, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what I consider a mind-bending milestone: yesterday marked the 6th anniversary of the first PharmAspire post.

Sometimes I take for granted this blog journey; what it’s meant for me, what it’s meant for those close to me, and the community that it has created. I can’t be more thankful for this platform, and the feedback I receive when I manage to write something that resonates with people both inside and outside the pharmacy profession.

I thank Laura, my trusted editor from the very beginning, who encouraged me to write and post back in March 2013. In the very spirit of these pages, she is currently on a transformative journey of her own, aspiring to be the best pharmacist she can be. We may even hear more about it in her own words at some point.

To our newest contributor Tammy, thank you for summoning the courage to post here with us. We look forward to developing your ideas and positive energy to keep these discussions going.

Finally, a huge thank you to all of my colleagues and mentors that continue to push me in directions I don’t always want to go. You are the main reason I write. It’s the people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and work alongside during my two decades in pharmacy, not the job, not the analysis, not the recognition, that keep me grounded and coming back for more.

A dear friend dating from before my first pharmacist job told me this week that I ‘just need to write more.’ She’s right. I believe I do.
