Gosh , what a rollercoaster of a year 2020 has been ! Our thoughts are with everyone who has been impacted by COVID-19 , especially our Victorian colleagues .
Although the year hasn ’ t panned out exactly as we had hoped , we ’ ve taken the time to reflect on the ups and downs of the year , what we ’ ve achieved so far and where we ’ re heading next . For us , it ’ s been an opportunity to channel our efforts into projects we ’ ve always wanted to do , but never really had the time .
One thing that has really grounded team DC this year has been talking about what we ’ re grateful for in our daily morning meetings . Anything big or small will do – a webinar that ran exactly to plan , some help from a colleague the day before , a bit of time in the great outdoors or a simple moment of peace with a cuppa in hand . It ’ s all about harnessing the power of positivity !
One of the 2020 moments we ’ re most grateful for was the opportunity to chat with inspirational USA media dietitians Maye Musk ( mother to Elon Musk ), Ellie Krieger and Joy Bauer . You can check out our conversation here .
Some of our favourite quotes from the discussion are featured beside .
I hope that you , too , are able to reflect on the year that was and find some small positives in an otherwise challenging year . Again , we ’ d like to thank you for your ongoing support – your good vibes and encouragement really pull on our heart strings … it ’ s hard to put into words how much we truly appreciate it !
So , here ’ s to a bigger and better 2021 . We ’ ve got our fingers and toes crossed that we ’ ll get to see you in person soon at Dietitians Unite .
