Today is a big day! At least for me. I'm attending a free seminar offered by the Small Business Administration on starting your own business. I'm really excited! Most people may not be thrilled to sit in a two hour meeting. I'm usually one of those people. But... Today begins the first big step in this journey.
I'm hoping to gain all kinds of information today. All the technical stuff I don't really understand quite yet but look forward to learning. I'm not sure what to expect. Not sure how many other people will be there. Not sure if anyone who will be there has ever heard of music therapy...lucky for them if they haven't! Because I'll be glad to share!
I also have started working on grad school applications today for a Master's of Music Therapy at St. Mary of the Woods. And Monday I'll be going to William Carey to start looking at housing options and starting the process for the Counseling Psychology program there. I'll also start scouting out prospects for clients for my private practice.
So lots of big things on the horizon. I'm normally a person who worries. A lot. About everything. I inherited this "trait" from my mother. I was always good at encouraging her not to worry...but I'm not so good at encouraging myself. However, during this whole process, while I have felt overwhelmed and have questioned things, I have peace. A complete, total, true peace. Maybe that's because I know my mom is rooting for me from Heaven. And because my dad has always been encouraging and supportive and is genuinely excited for me to begin this journey. And he never worries about anything...maybe it's rubbing off on me.
So even though I have no idea how everything is going to come together, I have faith that it will. I know I'm going to have to work hard. I know it's not always going to be easy. I know there will be sacrifice. I know there may be a few tears and hopefully lots of laughter. But I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is what I'm meant to do and that it will be worth it all in the end!
I'm on my way....
