Reinventing

Okay so it's been awhile since I've been here and a LOT has happened! It's mostly been good and it has all been a learning experience. I'm trying my hand at really trying to build a blog here but I can't quite figure out what I want to blog about. Like most people, I loosely use the term "ADD", as in, "I am so 'ADD' ." Yeah, so I am. But it's more like I am distracted and unfocused....or maybe I'm just super creative and can't pinpoint exactly what it is that I want to share with the world. My ideas have been everything from surviving being a single mom when I never thought I would fall into that category, or blogging about being a Massage Therapist, or about my adventures in knitting, or sharing recipes, or sharing patterns that I have designed. I could also share excerpts from the book I have written, in my quest to get it published. I am full of ideas. They keep me awake at night. I will exercise my mind here, though, and try to hone in on what it is I want to share the most. So stay tuned...

Runaway

NATIONALLY CERTIFIED!!!!

So I graduated from LTI's Massage Therapy program on October 14, 2009. I was finally scheduled to take the National Certification test--which I need in order to get my RI license, but, ironically, not necessary for the MA license. Anyway, it's this big deal test that you have no idea what's going to be on it and there's a whole formula for answering the questions, etc. I was so nervous to take it, especially since I am not the best studier and would get distracted every time I took out old notes and books to review. Thankfully, a very good friend and former student helped me review one night and I do believe he was an asset in helping me pass. (Thanks, Jarred!)
Oh yeah, so I took the test this past Friday and, obviously I passed. I was so relieved that I almost collapsed. After an entire year of studying massage therapy, I finally did it! I can't believe I got this far. I feel like I jumped a huge hurtle for the future of my career in massage.
Yay me!
