I am grateful to be on this journey with you Diana, as we join with a growing number of insightful and courageous RDs to be the change we need to see. My hope is in our next generation and their resolve to seek the authentic and understand the whole food system, for in making the connections, we find the solutions.

I really enjoy this area but it sometimes can be discouraging to see people pin cupcakes 10 times more often than a healthy choice.

They mean a lot to me, but perhaps even more importantly, our words together will be ripples spreading out from a stone thrown into a pond, where perhaps they will also be meaningful to someone else who will read them at some later point. Yes, living and working for a future that is healthy, clean, and fair is worth it, and the friendships made along the way are part of the reward, even fun. :)<br />Diana Diana Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307130287236271985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-11524572480902119582014-03-17T00:20:17.749-04:002014-03-17T00:20:17.749-04:00Diana, thank you for your hopeful message ending t...Diana, thank you for your hopeful message ending this post. It is important for me to know that seasoned RDs can see that we are making progress to a brighter future. I am a new dietitian, and I certainly have passions for food, farming, and healthy communities. I'm so glad to hear that you believe in fun at work, yet you understand that challenges to even become a dietitian. Living for an alternative cause is so lonely and difficult sometimes, I don't know what I would do without HENers like you out there to tell me that it is worth it. Wishing you all the best, and thank you for your words of wisdom.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809002921164548527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-75786417357483911862014-03-13T23:46:32.173-04:002014-03-13T23:46:32.173-04:00I was fortunate enough to work with Diana in the I...I was fortunate enough to work with Diana in the ICU and as it happened, we were neighbors! (& became dear friends). Both of us off the typical path for both dietitians and physicians--yet, really, we have always been on THE path to celebrate our earth, what food it brings forth to nourish our bodies and souls, strategies each one of us can bring to our lives, our families, and our communities to make a difference in health and disease. For future and current dieticians and nutrition-interesteds, using science, some common sense, and embracing your community--all with a touch of passion, will make differences you cannot fully imagine! Thanks for blogging, Diana! <3melissa kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142131609133490498noreply@blogger.com
