A Life Dream

As I set on my porch and wonder about the world that is out there. I wondered one day what I was really missing. I have forgotten what it was like to do the 9-5. I have have always worked around my children's life. Giving them all the time and energy I had.
One day while on vacation in Hawaii, I was standing in a boutique and I was truly easy dropping. This couple was fighting about when they get home how she is going to have to get a job. I was so glued to this conversation for about 15 minutes and I am sorry but you know I learned more about myself in that 15 minutes then I have in 20 years. This man was very upset about his life and retirement and how he has provided a life style for this women that was above and beyond there means and he wanted to change that when they went home. He encourage her to seek education and to do something with her life. Because one day he just might not be there for her. I thought to myself he was being very mean to her to bring this up on vacation. How sad. But very HONEST! Good for me. Because I have always been the one to take care of my family as far as the cooking and the cleaning and the education but as far as being a major bread winner I was not. I have done Home Day Care/Preschool and it has just paid the bills and put food on the table.
From My Porch I saw my life passing. So I took a stand for me and my dreams what if something happened would I be able to make it in the world...Yes but I needed a plan. A plan of change..
So as 2008 started I pondered my life dream. Yes I do have those..(grin)
Being a Massage Therapist.
I started with my Chiropractor he gave me home work right way. He said go to as many massages you can in a months time. And see which style you like and go from there. Asking questions about schooling, jobs, and are you happy with what you are doing. Sure you will have those jobs and sure you will have those times. But if I was going to make these kind of changes and the only way to do it was to do it right. Doing my own research even though I have had a dream, without that research I may not have a good idea of what the whole picture of my "Dream Job" was really all about.
The job market my research found lots of avenues, day spas, chiropractors, physical therapists, and the list goes on from there.
