Think I will use this blog to write about my experiences of
returning to school for my doctorate. I have my first classes
Friday. This is a trade type school that is for Naturopathic
Doctors. It's one weekend a month Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday. Then you have about 30 or so hours of self study, and
toward the end externships. I am nervous, and scared and
excited. At 54 it's exciting to start a new
path.
Starting this new path, I feel is a reaction to the empty nest
sydrome. My mother in law died this year, the last of my
parents gone. Nothing is between me and death now, I am the
elder in the family. It took a lot of meditation and prayer
to get to this point. My daughter is moving to Boston this
year, my son is getting married next year, and friends....well
don't have many of those outside my family. So I guess
this is my way of coping with loss, start a new career.
I put it out there in meditation that if this was the path I am to
follow, that the money would become available. Sure enough my
business grew, and taxes were more than expected, and there was the
tuition for the first year. I had been stashing money, change
really, and that covered 5 months of lodging. So This Friday
I am off to school. Be careful when you put it out there, it
often happens at head spinning speed, and you have to be ready to
get what you ask for.
I own a massage therapy clinic, so I felt becoming a Naturopathic
Doctor, would give more to offer my clients to help them keep
healthy. That is my goal, to help as many as I can to health,
including myself. My husband is a saint, this is the 3rd time
I've gone back to school, guess I'm one of those purpetual
students. Join me in this journey, hopefully we can support each
other.
