My mantra:
Hustle hard
Stay humble
Be supportive
Avoid haters
Do it right
Say it well
Act intentionally: You can't choose what they remember

Final #50before50

50-Quit Twitter / X

For years I really enjoyed this social media platform
The #meded #hpe community is 💛💛💛

But X changed it

Now my feed is filled with Right wing spam, ads for “health” products, & sexism
Time for me to exit
See u all IRL soon 🤞🏻
Till then

Next #50before50

49-throw epic 50th b-day party

ApproX 50 friends will be celebrating with me tonight. I’ve thrown many parties for my kids and hubby. But not for me

I won’t let that be the norm anymore. I’ve had fun planning & decorating. We SHOULD celebrate ourselves!

Today will mark the end of #50before50

I was inspired to start this list when @vicki_leblanc posted a major accomplishment on her 50th

I had hoped that…

48 - lose 50lbs before I turned 50

I didn’t make the goal. But I’m proud that I dropped 43lbs via lifestyle changes

I hadn’t planned on this one

But it might be the highlight of the entire year

I’m still hunting for a hobby
We tried a new one
I was VERY SKEPTICAL when we started, but I really enjoyed it
NEVER would I have guessed that I’d find myself behind the wheel of a sailboat

#46-Go sailing

Note: we were never out of sight of land which made it not terrifying

@LaraVarpio Such an important life lesson - don’t be your own barrier.

I believe doing things DESPITE fear = growth

I faced my fear of horses to launch #50before50
I face my fear of the ocean as I near the end of my list
Q: Why fear the ocean?
A: animals you CAN’T SEE & they WILL eat you 🦈
I spent 4hrs white knuckled to..

45-go whale watching

Intriguing to learn the back story of how the authors of JGME's Lit Review Series came to be. @LaraVarpio & Team. How many types of lit review can you name? I only got about 60% of #meded types.

#50before50 milestone!
2019-2022 were rough years. I managed as best I could. I poured energy into survival-mode & family. I didn’t care for myself. In 2023, everything changed & I prioritized self care again. It’s been hard but today I did the impossible
#40-Run 5km!

Gail M. Sullivan, MD, speaks with the creators of our Literature Review Series, @rmnparker, @ammacleod, and @LaraVarpio about the need for understanding reviews and why there might be a better approach to your #MedEd question than a systematic review bit.ly/3igQGW6
