For the past 5 years I have taken a break from active practice and devoted my time to several other responsibilities. These included raising two adopted daughters with my wife Evelyn, running Now You Know, speaking at chiropractic events around the country, and being active as a Board member of ICA. Well, my daughters are getting a little older (18 & 12), I am no longer on the ICA Board, and I have prioritized my speaking engagements. So it is time to re-enter practice!

In the past few years, and more recently the past few months I have become "itchy" to get back to seeing patients. Attending programs like, Get the Big Idea, Dynamic Essentials (DE) and New Beginnings, among others has only served to fuel my desire.

I have always believed in following the God given Innate messages that have come my way. That is what made me move from Florida to Georgia and has blessed me with a wonderful family, and all the success I have had in chiropractic and in my life. At my recent Philosophy on the Farm, someone walked up to me and offered me a walk-in practice. That itch I was having became an all out fire. And although the practice I was offered was just a little too far away from my home, it set in motion a series of events that is leading me back into practice.

Just in case I was not sure, I'll relate a little story.

My wife and I were having lunch at one of her favorite restaurants about three weeks ago. Just before we began eating, we said a little prayer for the meal and to guide our direction regarding opening an office. Not 30 seconds after that prayer my cell phone rang with a local number I did not recognize. Upon answering it a woman said that she wanted to make an appointment to be a new patient and come in to see me. Stunned, I asked how she heard about me. It seemed she had seen my website (the sample one I keep for Now You Know), www.brailechiropractic.com, and after reading it she wanted to start care with me. I am not usually at a loss for words, but it took me a few seconds to respond and tell her that although I'd be delighted to serve her, I was not in practice yet and in fact did not even know where I'd be opening an office. I did tell her to watch the website as I'll post it on there as soon as I get a location and will be opening. This call sealed it for me and my wife. We were going back into practice!. And just in case I thought this was just a fluke, I had another woman call me a week later to also set up an appointment. I have not had any calls like this in the last 5 years since I left practice, and now I get two. For me that is a clear message.
