This year has just begun and already it is very exciting for medica.

During 2012, I will be celebrating 20 years of massage therapy in Gibsonia, PA.

I can still remember the day when my accountant came over to finalize some paperwork.  I noticed he was counting the ceiling tiles from back to front.  I was curious and asked,  “What are you doing?”   He answered, “Getting an estimate of your square footage.”  Pressing further,  I asked questions about the estimate  and different items about the lease.  He answered it had more to do with estimating how much I would have to make each month to stay in business.

Once we had reached the front of the office, he turned to me and flatly stated, “Well, Beverly looking at everything I think your first year is going to very hard.  Each time you turn the key in your door, you better be prepared to make $xxx amount of money.  If you make it past two years, I’d say you’re lucky.  And if you are in business five years from now,  I would say you can consider this business a success.”

I didn’t stay with this accountant very long.  I prefer to have a more positive outlook when obtaining goals.

So here we are — 20 years later — many lessons learned; many days filled with happiness; brainstorming ideas; always looking for healing services; meeting wonderful clients; learning and growing.

I have turned that key over 24,000 times!

I have never wondered about how much money I would make that day.  I have enjoyed what medica does best — heal, help, restore, expand and maintain a sacred space.

I am very grateful today as I write this post.  Grateful is actually not an adequate word.

Thank you to all who have walked through medica’s door.  May medica’s  key be turned 20 more years!
