Love is in the air...you can make images like this too!

Hi Member,

Love is in the air...

Things are really starting to heat up for 2016 (and I'm not talking about Valentine's Day!). I know this because I'm finding so much interesting information including some amazing training events.

Have a look at the featured training below: there's a VetPrac 2 day workshop all about rabbits; an amazing 6 month Marketing mentoring and coaching program (with 1 free registration on offer!) from Turbo Charge your Practice; and a veterinary wellness program designed by psychologist, Nadine Hamilton who has just finished writing her thesis on the topic.

Nadine has also written one of our blog posts this week on the topic of veterinary wellness. Looking after yourself with exercise and a good diet is an important part of your personal wellness and this week I've published another one to add to your list of quick, healthy & TASTY recipes. This one has 2 ingredients and ANYONE can cook it!

Apart from Nadine's workshop on mental health I've also highlighted an amazing dvm360 post by Dr Marty Becker who bravely writes about his own struggle with depression.

Now I know last week I shared my updated blog post to help you celebrate Valentine's Day with your clients, but I decided to re-post it again this week just in case you missed it. I also added in the 6 images above which I put together on Canva, using a free template and some of my own images. All up, it took less than 30 minutes and cost nothing!

Finally, I know there's a lot in this edition but take the time to check out 'This week I also found..' section as there are some excellent posts there too.

Our aim is to help you - save time, connect & discover!

Enjoy your reading :)

Judy

This week we love.......

Sympathy Candles

Pet Memorial Candles from IVB

I love these Candles from IVB. For less than the price of a decent bunch of flowers I think they're a much better option to give to clients following euthanasia.

They are hand poured, 100% soy wax and the verse on the inside of the box reads:
"Our pets light a flame of love in our hearts that can never be extinguished".

Once the client has used the candle, the lovely box can be used as a memory box for storing collars and toys or a lock of hair which also means they last far longer than a bunch of flowers.

The memorial candles come in a box of 12 with mixed scents so you can choose one to suit AND they're only $22 per candle with FREE postage!

Putting my darkness into the light (Dr Marty Becker for dvm360)

A heart breakingly honest post by well known US vet Dr Marty Becker about his personal struggle with depression. Please read...and please share with all of your colleagues..and then talk about it....
"The fire behind you is so hot, you choose suicide as the least painful way. For some veterinary professionals, the darkness inside is so debilitating, that you choose suicide as the least painful way. Please don't. Please seek help."
