Greetings,
gentle readers! I have some big
news today, and will be brief sharing it as I am super excited to get things
rolling …
After
meditating on the matter for some time now, I have finally figured out the next
phase of my journey. I am going
back to school. No, not for a
masters degree or anything so time intensive. I am going to get my training and certification in
esthetics. In layman’s terms I
will be learning all about skincare.
I’m super excited. It’s
something I’ve considered doing for years, but the timing never seemed
right. But now it does! There’s a
program in town, and it’s on the bus schedule, so I will actually be able to
get to it without a car. It’s not
quite a year long, so I won’t feel like I’m tying myself down to one location
for an excessive amount of time.
And the class hours fit with my current schedule beautifully. Plus, I’m still in time to make the deadline
for the fall semester! It’s
destiny, I tell you!
The only hard part is funding the
tuition. While it isn’t a grand
sum, it is grander than my budget allows at present with my measly schedule of
a few hours of scattered part time work each week. While I am looking around for more part-time work that will
still fit in with the new school schedule, I am swallowing up my pride and
asking for help. (I’m not very
good at asking for help, so please bear with me if I don’t do it so
eloquently.)
I have
set up an indiegogo
campaign to try to raise funds for tuition and supplies costs. Here is the link!
Please
do not feel obligated to donate, but if you are moved to do so, I will forever
hold you in great esteem and gratitude.
I will very likely need folks on whom I can practice my new skills, too. So, if you are local, get ready. Preference will be given to those who
contribute to the campaign, of course, but I’ll do my best to fit in all
interested parties at least once.
Please
take a moment to read through the campaign spiel. If you are moved to donate, THANK YOU!! If not, then thank you for at least
taking the time to consider.
This
is one more step closer to living my dreams, people! I’m so glad I get to share it with such a lovely
audience. I would love to hear
about your dreams, too, so tell me all about them in the comments section,
okay?! We can keep each other
motivated!
Happy
experimenting!
xoxo,
Melanie
