Message from the Executive Director (cont.)
My point is that change comes with living, and we need to embrace it. We need it for our personal growth
and the growth of our practice. The ADA is changing. It’s trying to improve by harnessing the technologies
of today to better connect with our members and give them a better member experience. With this
growth, comes “growing pains.” Having to do things in a new way can be a daunting experience fraught
with frustration. Don’t shrink from it, embrace it. Eventually you’ll see the advantages outweigh the diffi-
culties of clinging to the past. Besides, if we could get through dental school, we can accomplish anything!
*From Billy Joel’s “Keeping the Faith”
Stay well,
Gene Porcelli
Message from the Editor (Continued)
sympathetic nervous system stimulants head on.
So, I propose to you the following. Look into meditation, not the full blown, candles burning, lotus knee
bending style that takes great effort. Instead, try five minutes of calm deep breathing, quieting the
mind and see where MMMM can take you!
