Keep Digging (And Savor the Moments Along the Way)

by Dr. Tonya Caylor
Jun 12, 2025

Dinner was beautiful. A nice evening, bold flavors, shared stories of challenge & success, and laughter with friends who are in simlar trenches.

The meal came with this quote came tucked in tableware:

“Work. Keep digging your well. Water is there somewhere.”

It stayed with me—not just because it was wise, but because it met me in a season that’s been full of effort. Of showing up. Of planting without certainty of the harvest.

Sometimes the "work" looks like paperwork. Sometimes it’s holding space for someone else’s doubt. And sometimes (thankfully) it’s slowing down enough to taste grilled tomatoes, warm bread, and ice cream dusted with pistachios.

Reflection: What’s keeping you digging right now? And what’s nourishing you while you do?

This week, I'll highlight something else. A small momen...
When Influence Stops Influencing
Every physician leader I coach eventually reaches the same moment. They’ve done the work: gathered data, built coalitions, shared meaningful stories, aligned it to the core corporate values, used every bit of their Crucial Conversations skill set, emotionally intelligenced the nuances, and framed things in ways to be heard. It may even be an evidence-based strategy, aligned with national recomm...
