Everything is coming along nicely.  I have my newest site up and running, and it looks beeeaaaauuuyoutiful!

Special thanks to my special man who created my logo!

I still need to pick up some content, which will be relatively easy, especially by the end of this month.

Speaking of the end of this month… 19 days until I’m officially a graduate.   I’m looking into all kinds of options for my graduate career… In fact, I found a new opportunity today, through Clayton College of Natural Healing.  I think it would be really fantastic to learn more about herbalism, etc.  I don’t know that I necessarily need to have an actual degree to feel fulfilled, but it sure would be cool to allow my interests to flourish while I’m going through all this learning…

You know, the funniest part of all of these new opportunities?  I think it’s that I don’t really necessarily need to pick any one thing, and it doesn’t particularly matter to me what anyone _else_ thinks I ought to do.

Also, I’m becoming increasingly agitated (not to be confused with irritated, necessarily) over academia’s view of holistic health and healing.  I mean, obviously you have to have a critical mind (duh), but having a critical mind doesn’t mean you discredit anything that strays from the Western means of thinking.

Similar to my views of religion, politics, and other cultural norms… I don’t think you have to accept everything you read/hear/learn, and you don’t have to practice everything you read/hear/learn… but that doesn’t mean you can’t approach new ideas without an open mind.  There are a lot of thinking, conscious people in this world.  And there are going to be a lot of ideas that work for some but not for all… taking that into consideration allows you to really embrace that every unique idea is worth something to someone.

That’s all.
