Figuring it out may not be as hard as you may think!

Earning an income is a critical element in any household whether you are a single occupant or are blessed with a large family. We believe true financial freedom begins when you can successfully earn a paycheck while fulfilling your dreams and goals—all while enjoying the work you did to earn that pay!

Remember when you were a young child and many of your family members or educators often asked you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, the answer may have been clear, and you could immediately answer that question with an array of answers from Superman to a Fireman or woman. As you got older, your experiences and preferences may have changed your ideal job choices, with more mature thoughts about what you would really like to do. By the time you graduated high school, decided to perhaps attend college or a university, you may have changed your mind so many times you found yourself a bit confused about what you wanted to do “when you grew up”. Where do you go from there? What DO you want to do? It can be frustrating, but you are not alone, some people in their 40’s and 50’s still cannot definitively answer that question and struggle in jobs that are not fulfilling. That doesn’t have to be your future.

Dr. Rebecca Berry and dental hygienist, Laura McCaslin of Lakes Region Dental in Oakland, recently completed a weeklong dental mission trip to Guatemala, where 75% of the population lives below the poverty line and have extremely limited access to dental services.

Dr. Berry and Laura traveled with 35 other dental providers from across the United States and Canada to Guatemala City to provide dental care to some of the poorest citizens in the city. Over the course of the week, they were able to provide care to over 1000 Guatemalans including several hundred children.
