Yesterday I had the honor of representing the Sout Yesterday I had the honor of representing the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association at The American Red Cross Orange County Hero Awards!

Several of the members of the Board of Trustees were in attendance to honor the Animal Welfare Hero winner Danielle Judd. 

Danielle runs the non-profit Farm Rescue which helps animals and humans alike "share in the healing and therapeutic opportunities that the farm has to offer."

https://farmhouserescue.org/

The Southern California Veterinary Medical Association has been sponsoring a Red Cross Orange County hero for many years. Our association loves to give back to the community and I really enjoyed the event. 

The Red Cross in Orange County, holds this event to honor local individuals for acts of heroism. And I was truly honored to be part of it.

Earlier this week I went to Camino Pet Hospital to Earlier this week I went to Camino Pet Hospital to do their CA sexual harassment prevention training.

They are a good team and participated in the presentation well.

California requires employees to receive sexual harassment prevention training every two years for businesses with more than five employees.

As a professional in human resources for the state of California (PHRca) I have given this presentation to countless veterinary hospitals to help them follow our state's laws.

Today marks my 20th anniversary working in the Vet Today marks my 20th anniversary working in the Veterinary Field! 

Dr Wexler-Mitchell at The Cat Care Clinic saw potential in me & gave me a chance. 

At the time I was in the pre-vet program at Cal Poly Pomona to earn my Bachelor's to apply to vet school. The longer I worked at my hospital though, I realized that being a doctor wasn't the right fit for me. I like the business & HR side of things more. So I became a practice manager! I didn't know what I was getting into 😹. 

I loved managing the team at The Cat Care Clinic & I became a better manager working with them. 

After 12 years of managing a cat only general practice, I got a job as the Hospital Administrator at a specialty hospital. That was a great experience & it broadened my horizons. I had the opportunity to present at the "AVSG Wet Lab" presenting to doctors on becoming more "cat friendly," growing my skills even more. 

From there I became the Practice Administrator of an Emergency only hospital. I was fortunate to work with a good team. 

After my hospital was sold to a corporation, I knew it was time for me to go "rogue" & start my consulting business 😁

After almost 5 years my business is going strong & I have had the fortune of working with over 65 hospitals in 4 states doing consulting, recruiting, or training with their team. I have presented at over 30 different national or local conferences. I have also written over 20 articles. 

Throughout the years since earning my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science, I became a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager, a Professional in Human Resources for California, & a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional, so I'm constantly learning.

I couldn't have done this without the support of my friends & family. Specifically my husband Ryan Lewis 💓

I am very happy with my business & my career. I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Here is to 20 more years as a Veterinary Professional! Okay maybe less than that, I have to retire sometime lol.

I know this is my business page, but I think every I know this is my business page, but I think everyone knows I am transparent and I am real. So I want to share this. 

Today would have been my mom's 78th birthday, She passed away when she was 55. 

This is the last picture we took together as a family.

For anyone who has lost someone, you know that grief is forever. 

When you lose someone important it changes your life forever.

That grief hits you randomly when you least expect it. 

Never apologize for feeling sad or for missing someone who is gone no matter how long it's been. 

And for those of you who haven't lost anyone or deal with grief differently please don't say, but it has been ___ years they shouldn't still be grieving.

There is no timeline on grief.

I had a great time presenting to the South Orange I had a great time presenting to the South Orange County Veterinary Manager's Group! 

I spoke on "Disaster and Mishaps planning for Veterinary Hospitals." I love this presentation because I talk not only about emergency disaster planning, but all the other things that can disrupt our businesses. I really enjoy giving people the information they need to make their hospitals better prepared.

Thank you Sara and Dee  for inviting me to speak to your group.

Yesterday I did customer service training at Linco Yesterday I did customer service training at Lincoln Plaza Veterinary Clinic in Riverside.

Their team was very interactive and a good group of people.

We even had a budding veterinary professional in our midst ☺️

I love training veterinary professionals. It helps teach new ideas and also reinforces the things they are already doing well.

Day two of the Grief Summit and my animals are thr Day two of the Grief Summit and my animals are thrilled 😹

They are happy that I am home two days in a row (which is usually unheard of lol). Betsy thought it would be fun to sleep in the box that was left in the family room lol and the dogs just knocked out. 

As a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional I attend CE annually for my recertification.

This is my third year attending the Grief Summit and I can't speak highly enough about it. I'm not a therapist, only a veterinary professional, but I have learned so much. 

The topics are so broad and I have enjoyed them. If you have never studied grief, I recommend it. 

My favorite talk so far was "Non-Death Losses, How the Grief we don't call Grief Applies to Every Day." There are so many things that we grieve about daily that we don't associate as grief. Many times we feel guilty when we grieve something because we don't think it was "that big of a loss" if we compare our grief to someone else's. Megan Devine did a great job with this talk

Guess what folks, grief is not a competition. 

You are allowed to feel sad about a job change, a relationship ending, moving to a different home, or simply your favorite restaurant closing, the same as you are allowed to grieve the loss of a person (although you may not grieve as long). 

Learning to recognize grief in ourselves and in others will change our ability to communicate and it will make us better at communication in general. 

Many of us don't respond appropriately to someone else's grief or sadness because we dismiss their feelings, or simply don't know how to respond. 

My biggest takeaway is If someone is grieving something, regardless of how big it is ask them how you can help them, don't just offer your opinion or advice without making sure it's wanted. 

This will be a challenge for me since oftentimes I want to give my advice, but I will try to change my approach to help others 😺

Every year I post about lilies because every year Every year I post about lilies because every year cats still die because of lily toxicity. 

Lilies are almost 100% fatal to a cat.

If they lick the stem, eat the petal, drink the water, or even lick the pollen off their feet they might die.

Lily toxicity is fatal to most cats!

If you have cats keep Lilie's out of your home!

Also I know that my voice messaging added an apostrophe to the word Lily on my picture lol. But I can't change it so we're stuck with it 😂

While it was pouring rain yesterday in Monrovia Ca While it was pouring rain yesterday in Monrovia California, I gave a presentation to the San Gabriel's managers group. "Disasters and Veterinary Mishaps", and how you can plan for them in your hospital.

It's a good presentation, and kind of eye-opening for all the things you should be prepared for.

Thank you Lisa Sherrill for asking me to speak to your group. And thank you to all the managers who braved the rain to attend my talk ☺️

And apparently I am now crosseyed lol

This week has been difficult for me after my dad's This week has been difficult for me after my dad's stroke. But one thing that is really helpful is to be around friends ☺️

We went to the HR Pro Conference Tuesday to learn about some of the new California labor laws. 

Even though I personally find a lot of the California labor laws frustrating, it was nice to be around colleagues and friends while learning about them.
