You know, a lot of people seem puzzled about my decision to get a degree in English and then become a massage therapist, but there just might be a method to my madness. In this world I have learned that credentials are everything. I know that a lot of writers (Hemingway for one) never graduated from college and frequently disparaged the university community for its loftier-than-thou attitude. Nevertheless, I made a promise to myself and to my dad who passed away four years ago that I would one day complete my university degree. I finally did, and I know that I did it for more than just the sake of a promise. After I become a licensed massage therapist (another credential), I plan on doing some freelance writing for various trade magazines, especially those about alternative medicine (which is actually traditional medicine, if you think about it). I'm a little circuitous in my career path, but I'll eventually get there. Thanks again for stopping by. I'll be visiting you again soon.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-88610123552703015202008-05-25T07:55:00.000-05:002008-05-25T07:55:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting me and introducing me to your ...Thanks for visiting me and introducing me to your blog! I think we have more than a little in common, a love of literature being one. Congratulations on getting your degree and then going after what you really want to do.<BR/>I skimmed through some of your earlier posts; I take it you are moving back to Illinois full-time? Too bad you can't spend the winters in Florida at least (remember Illinois winters??).<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed visiting your blog, and I'll be back.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
