Today I received the "unofficial" official word that my degree has been conferred! I am jumping for joy, both literally & figuratively! I have worked hard the last two years and the years before this when I became ill and thought it likely I might die. But no, here I am! Dr Beth, Clinical Counselor!
It is an amazing story of grace that I have completed this work. I look forward now to 1) continue teaching; 2) working with clients; 3) continuing to research with Boston University and Prof Dr Kathie Malley-Morrison and discover other things about this new career trajectory.
I am setting up an office, becoming a fully licensed clinical counselor and trying to enjoy my holiday. First things first! No matter what we achieve, no matter our goals and accomplishments, there is always more "out there". I am looking for new adventures in life & living!
Things have changed over the last two years. My father's died. My dear friend & mentor died. My adopted cat is gone who knows where. Life is full bitter-sweet experiences. But I would not give up the bitter, although it is hard to bear sometimes. It makes the sweet, sweeter, as we know. Just have to remind myself of that now and again.
This will be a short post as they all seem to be these days. But I am wishing you well dear reader. I'll be posting more on mental health issues I suspect as the days progress.
See you in cyberspace.
In Peace. LankaBlue2.
