This is all I have to say about careers (of course it's not ALL I have to say) - do NOT let anything or anyone EVER stand between you and your dreams.
Even if you are taking care of a dying loved one and you're in a very sad relationship with very awful things going on that no human heart should endure, and you're working full time, and you're the ONLY bread winner, and you have a million responsibilities and physical pain and you can't hardly breath some days, you can ALWAYS do something each and every day to get closer to the next dream on your list.
You just can. And you just have to. No one is going to rescue you. But you. You can cry and eat and quit and give up. Or you can choose to use your power and baby step your way to the life you deserve. It really is just that simple.

it would be as an immigration attorney. i am hopeful.
Goals: 1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire. 2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy. 3. One word 2008: courage 4. Eat slow and mindfully.

the tibetan wind horse is a mythical animal. the wind demonstrating swiftness, the horse--vitality and strength. the wind horse carries your prayers to the heavens. susan, last night, i meditated with the image of the wind horse and you as the rider.

Brie-I've been meaning to post and haven't had time. Susan mentioned that in four years you will have either taken the courses, or not, or something like that and I agree. I have been thinking for years about changing careers and haven't made the move. I think to myself-had I started the process 3 years ago I could be close to getting my Bachelor's degree, or possibly have it because my credits from my Associates Degree would transfer. Don't let anyone take your dream away. I'm sure your dh's opinion means a lot to you, but you have to do what YOU want, not what anyone else wants. Years ago I looked into the PA program at UPenn. It would not work for me because I was a single mom and not only could not afford it but they required that you not work, at all, during the program. You seem to be in a position, having a husband to help out, so go for it. Hey, it's worth a shot! I say-Go for it! You'll know soon enough if it is right or wrong. I wish you recovery from your surgery and the power to make the decision to advance yourself and work a career that will fulfill you!

I think my interview went well. She started by asking me if I had any questions, so I got her to do most of the talking. But I did manage to make a few good points about my strengths, such as they are.
Said she'll probably make a decision on Monday, so I have a "pins and needles" weekend ahead of me.
Stay out of the kitchen, stay out of the kitchen, stay out...
