Looking Ahead

"You are educated. Your certification is in your degree.
You may think of it as the ticket to the good life.
Let me ask you to think of an alternative.
Think of it as your ticket to change the world."
~Tom Brokaw

I have been amazed at how peaceful I feel right now, given that my first final of the semester (7,000 word paper and 20 minute presentation) is tonight. That peaceful feeling is a tremendous blessing.

Earning a degree has been my goal for a long, long time. If my new goal is to change the world, then what I am feeling today must truly be the calm before the storm.

I am nervous for you! It has been so long since I have been to school. Going back is scary enough! Good for you! I am so proud of you.....I admire you!

How exciting for you. It must feel great to accomplish your goal. I always wanted to go to school for photography. Hopefully someday I will get it done. Congrats again.

If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart!
