Hello readers

After I'd written my first entry here last Wednesday, I posted a link on Facebook. I have to admit I was quite nervous broadcasting the blog so openly to family, friends and colleagues like that. I wasn't sure if I was ready but it worked out to be just what I needed. I got so many lovely comments and people were really interested and encouraging. So thank you to you all.

Big thanks especially to Alroy - my first follower and to Claire for reminding me that a blog isn't just for Christmas. Here's to many more blog entries, facebook posts and followers!

This weekend I read chapter one of a book by John Williams called 'Screw Work Let's Play'. It was really interesting as it made me think so differently. What stuck out for me was 'Myth 4. 'I can't do what I want to do without long expensive training'. It suggests you should just decide what experience it is that you are most drawn to from a dream job and just get on with it. Find time to free up and live your dream through whatever time you can spare.

I've already gone to the next stage he suggests by working up to having a play day. As you already know, mine will be Friday and I've been planning to use it to throw myself into complementary therapy by completing my homeopathy reading and essay writing. The book has also encouraged me to read around my chosen 'experience'. So I've also joined the Society of Homeopaths and have booked tickets to camexpo, The Complementary, Natural & Integrated Healthcare Show in October. Both the show and the society membership will help me find out what's going on in the industry which hiding at home studying won't.

When October comes and my Reflexology course starts I'll join the Association of Reflexologists too.

I wonder what the next chapter is all about. Maybe I can squeeze some reading in now. Bye for now.
