My college degree is a B.S. in Dietetics and for the first part of my career I worked in the areas of clinical, management and community dietetics. The majority of my career I have spent coordinating community education programs, teaching wellness programs and managing several departments.
For many years, three boxes of dietetics files have resided in my basement. As part of my basement journey, I needed and wanted to tackle these boxes. I am pleased to say that I am down to one box of current references and educational materials.

So it was different. It was different because I no longer felt the need to keep my files “just in case”.
