I did it. I've been thinking of doing this for almost 5 years..... I remember the thought first coming to me within the first few months of working full time as a board certified music therapist. I was employed by a corporation, and then by another one, and then eventually felt so burdened by a 9 to 5 job, 40 hour work week, and the regulations of corporate America that I removed myself from it. Life is not supposed to be that way, not mine anyway. I still do pick up shifts every so often but it's always by choice.
I'm swimming in choices these days as this labor of love takes more shape everyday. Funny how the start is really just a matter of filling out a form and turning into the Los Angeles County's registrar's office with a check for $23. It's just a piece of paper and some money. But that is the ACTION that came from an IDEA.
In this moment it's all in the baby stages and there is that feeling of nervousness, excitement, and wonder. Like when I was 21 and had to sing in front of people for the first time, or sitting on an airplane headed to London, or getting my feet off the ground to do a yoga headstand. I believe in the rewards that come out of stepping out of your comfort zone. I am committed to continuously challenging myself to grow, learn, and love in big ways.
