There’s a B.J Palmer quote many in the chiropractic world know well—one that’s been on my mind lately and will likely resurface in future McAulay Minutes: “You never know how far reaching something you say, think, or do will impact the lives of millions tomorrow.” It’s most often shared as a call to do good in the world. But it also serves as a quiet warning – a reminder that even a careless word or moment of frustration can have consequences far beyond what we intend.

I wanted to be sure to mark the beginning of 30 Days of Thanks here at Life U. As a nation, November is our shared month of Thanksgiving, and it’s my favorite time of year. So, I’d like to invite every member of the Life U community to join me in kicking off 30 Days of Thanks beginning Monday November 3.

The idea is simple: mark each day with a small, intentional act of gratitude. Maybe it’s a thank-you text or note, a quick list of three things you’re grateful for, or even a couple of minutes journaling about something that made you feel thankful. I hope you’ll join me in this daily celebration of the Thanksgiving season. My thanks go out to each of you.

Chiropractic is one of the best-kept secrets in health care, despite more than a century of clinical observation and patient satisfaction because there’s still a gap in clinical research. I’m proud that Life U is stepping in to fill it through CHARLI, the Complementary Healthcare Advanced Research and Leadership Institute. CHARLI is not only filling that gap but also working to better integrate Chiropractic into the larger healthcare landscape.

That’s why I’m so pleased to invite you to attend the CHARLI Chiropractic Colloquium and Neuroscience Summit (C3 Neuro Summit). The C3 Neuro Summit will provide clinicians and researchers with the opportunity to truly collaborate, engage and share existing research, clinical strategies and goals for the future of the profession. Get the dates – November 7-9 – on your calendar and register today. See you there!

Dr. Brian McAulay: "For chiropractors, the safety pin is a simple illustration of the nervous system and the perfection of its complex design. In the chiropractic metaphor, a closed safety pin represents the nervous system at ease. But perhaps the open pin is an even better symbol of the mission of our College of Chiropractic.

As former Life U president Dr. Guy Riekeman explained when the pin was donated, its open form represents our commitment to serve until everyone on Earth who needs chiropractic care – or a chiropractic education – has access to it and only then will the pin be closed. That’s a bold vision, and it feels almost as if the Universe gave us the perfect symbol to represent it.”

"One of my favorite locations on any campus is the library. And, with all the changes in information delivery we’ve seen in the last few decades, it’s clear that libraries are more than the information they house.”
