Since that day, I have made an effort to look up at the sky. For me, the sky represents life outside of medicine. I spend a lot of time starring at the sky and thinking up big ideas. Much of my inspiration for this blog comes to me when Iām driving between Atlanta and Alabama with nothing but clear skies and mountains ahead of me.
So there you have it. I hope over time the name will come to mean as much to you as it does to me!
