Excited that I finished my MSOL. One BIG upside is a regained my ability to focus and read. I totally lost that as trauma side effect, but through sheer force and repetition, I got a lot of back in this program.

As always, now I have the “What’s Next?” Question and a big gaping whole in my time to fill, but that will be the project this summer.

I never would have or could have done this with my ex. He would not have been supportive enough (lip service only).

Love the silver linings!

Congratulations!

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Woot to the woot woot! On the heels of your birthday too (did you see your cake in F&G?).

You have had so many challenges these last few years, and it's a testament to your strength and reclaimed confidence that you topped things off with this degree.

Such. Good. Goin'. Have you figured out how you're going to celebrate you and this accomplishment?

2012 pretty much sucked.

Great work!

I got my masters after reaching the ripe old age of +40 and for the first time really enjoyed learning.
