Well, I'm committed...

I start massage school at the National Holistic Institute in August! It's a year long evening/weekend program, and I'm very much excited to go. Going to massage school has been on my dream list for over a year, and now I'm finally doing it.

I had hoped to attend school in Santa Fe, NM, but it was proving too difficult to get myself to move and relocate and deal with financial uncertainty. NHI will work. I can keep my current job, live at home and go to class. It's a good school, federally accredited which means I can defer my student loans, get more financial assistance, and get a tax break on my tuition. Hurrah!

My hope at the end of this is to work at a spa part time, then eventually build a small clientel for myself. It's not going to be my primary source of income; just an additional one. Though, when I think more about it, I would love to be a master teacher one day and teach...
