Ok. So I went to Denver this last weekend with A and some of her friends. WOWZA. I had a great time going but let me tell you I learned some lessons. FIRST let me say I am a HORRIBLE skier. I understand the physics of it. Easy. Simple. However somewhere in the space between my brain and my legs the message gets lost in the synapse because I sure cant do it. I go about 10 feet at a furiously fast pace and then fall. The good news is I'm a champ at getting back up AND I (as A says) have no "fear of falling" (which is funny because falling is way less scary to me then skiing down a mountain side with people all over). Regardless I didn't even make it down the green. Then I got sick (due to the elevation, BOO) and spent the rest of my day horrify unsuspecting people by hurling my guts up in the public restroom of the ski resort. It was awesome and not at the same time. A good weekend if nothing else. Life lesson # 312: I can't ski and living in a place with high altitude may be a good diet plan for me but not so good for the head.
Beyond tumbling down a small portion of a Colorado mountain and puke splater getting all over my ski stuff because I refuse to get on my knees and put my head too far in a public toilet, life has been good. I have actually made some progress and have a small inkling of desire for a career. Now don't get too excited I don't know if I want to do this yet, but the idea is there. I have even researched it a little. I, at this point, may want to be a therapist that specializes in life coaching. I'm not sure. I will take any helpful feedback from anyone on this one. I have several concerns:
1. What if I spend all this money and then don't like it.
2. What if I get too emotionally attached
3. What if I just want a glamorous job (is this glamorous? Maybe...well sometimes people are this in movies so maybe).
Hmmm. Life is always so much more difficult than I had planned. The good news is that its nap time so I'm off to enjoy.
Random Thought of the Day: If I were a shrink, what color would I paint the walls of my office?

There are some gals in the Lees Summit area that do something like this. One is a color specialist and she helps you dress like the 'you' you want to be. The other gal does quite a bit too, but seems to be more on the counseling/life coaching path. www.imagebystefanielee.com or reinvent-U.com Maybe you can talk to them and see what it's like before commiting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mucho for the advice. I did spend some time talking to local councelors and therapist. They were awesome with their willingness to share their experience. I have (however) in my crazy mind and life moved on. I'm enrolled (gasp at the level of commitment) in an MBA program for the fall. I'm super excited. SO thanks again but I'm well on my way into the business world!
