Upon sitting down to write this editor’s letter I was overwhelmed with which direction to take this message given the rich variety of topics that the color gold lends itself. Gold standard? Sure, that seems like the easy route for a physical therapist. Gold riches? Perhaps that might resonate with a bunch of entrepreneurs. Worth its weight in gold? Easy play for likening to the idea of cherishing teams and the autonomy. But nothing landed and I found myself frustrated with where to start. And to boot, this is the SHOW issue. While I realize that means little to the average APTA Private Practice member, in Impact terms, the “show issue” is the most coveted issue of the year and requires the finest level of detailed review and content. Yep, no pressure Kristen.

When picking the logo for our office in 2011, my business partner and I struggled to decide on a color scheme since there were so many viable options. Do we go with a subtle, natural combo like light blue and green? Do we pop with red? Should it be classic black and white? Everything we tried didn’t quite feel right until we stumbled on the orange/charcoal combo which now fully represents the Action Potential vibe.

My son is currently reading through the Roald Dahl collection, which has made for fun conversations reminiscing about the books of my childhood. I forgot how many wonderful and notable children’s books Dahl has written, many with deeper and more profound meanings that transcend the capabilities of the typical grade-schooler. In researching where to take this letter, I couldn’t help but lean into the online rhetoric about Dahl’s representation of the seven deadly sins in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Buried in a story about gumdrops and Oompa-Loompas is a high-level dive into personality traits of those we meet in everyday life.
