In School Again!

I officially claim the title of lifelong learner as I embark on the journey of a SECOND masters. This time it will be focused on a Masters of Nursing. I plan to get two post-graduate certificates one in education and the second as a clinical nurse specialist. I currently hold a Master of Science in Herbal Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Health (formally Tai Sophia). It's exciting as I am beginning to figure out what I want to be in my career.

 My plan currently is to become a clinical nurse specialist in oncology, alternative/complimentary medicines, and palliative care. Not quite sure how all this will fit together, but hopefully it will make sense as I move forward. 

 I have a couple of goals to move me forward in this arena in 2016.

 1) Attend a herbal medicine conference in 2016.
2) Begin sharing writings and learnings from my education at Walden University.

Here is a before and after picture. Okay not much difference but sooo good! Now off to pee purple. ;) Other Fruits that are finally appearing back in the market is the delicious pomegranate. The secret to peeling them and not dying your skin is to cut into quartors and pull off the outer rind, THEN use a bowl full of water to peel the little seeds out. It is so much easy and your hands look lovely when you are done. Here is my finished product! And here is a picture of Tur...

Heartlines

On Feb 22nd, 2012 I packed up my life and got into a car and left WV for good. I am now in Palo Alto, California... I feel like I have aged 100 years between November 2011 and now. My mother became ill, my parents house caught on fire, fortunately my parents are okay however 3 cats died, a mentor and person who was with me during a difficult time in my life passed on, and a dear friend chose to no longer be apart of my life. Even the security of my old job has even been lost with the new management and people that have influenced my career having been removed. I feel like an orphan and the securities I once had have been removed. In short my life has been chaos and I have no idea how I am continuing on and not breaking down or losing my mind. Although there has been a lot of pain, there has been blessings. My sister and I have become closer and talk weekly, I have seen a lot of the United States including the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and the Pacific Ocean. I am here in California, a ha...
