I love my school and my studies.
I just finished week one and I’m content and purring like a cat lying in a patch of sun, on a fuzzy blanket, after eating a whole lot of wet food and sitting in a lap being stroked for an hour (if you don’t know cats, you won’t get the “wet food” bit and that’s okay, it’s a “trade secret” in the cat loving world – join us and you’ll learn!).
I’m tired and fighting a sore throat and about to take a bath but I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time.

Anyone in SF who wants a facial (or body skin treatment, some body waxing, a haircut or color) – just let me know – it’s a great place and I’ll be “on the floor” taking clients (for the first three things anyway) in just five weeks! But you can come any time because everyone there is great at what they do, and if, by chance, they’re not, their “learning leader” (aka teacher) will help make it great.

I just thought I’d share that with you guys because I’m really excited to have shrugged off the corporate life and be re-entering the world of client care.
Anyone considering leaving behind a job that leaves them with no inspiration or personal satisfaction for something filled with creativity and joy all I can say is DO IT!
There’s a book out there called Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow – I haven’t read it but the title is enough for me, and with faith in yourself, it should be enough for you too.

and nervous

and dharmic

and anxious…

There will be 8 students, at this point, and I’m glad for the small class size.
I won’t have to work at all for the first few months (it’s a total of 600 hours in 35 hour weeks and I should graduate around December 16th). If I budget well, I won’t have to work at all!

Basically, what I’m trying to say is

WOOT!
