Happy New Year!
2009 was an absolute unexpected adventure – a roller coaster ride of epic proportions, pulling G’s on me around every turn. Alaska gave me the motivation, time and reflection for a much needed self assessment. There is no other place adequate enough to get more honest with yourself. I wouldn’t trade a single second of 2009. Who knows what 2010 will bring? Current mission: return to school and get a trade. Marketing, promotions, journalism, PR>>all that I’ve done so far>> are not trades. Many may beg to differ and then agree with me in the next breath. I always said, “I will never return to school.” It wasn’t all that enjoyable the first time. Well, NEVER say never. Eat those words, I will, if only they were deep fried. I’ve been lightning struck with the urge to do something entirely different with my life, something meaningful. Something to help people. Something that will allow me to continue leading the flexible, thrill-a-minute, travel-the-world lifestyle I crave. So, short term vacations are on hold. I’m on a new road trip where the destination is becoming a physical therapist. Hello late night cram sessions, flash cards and pressure-raising test taking.
If I can get out from underneath the 45 lb stack of Anatomy books and come up for air, I swear I’ll try and hammer out some Jodester.com updates. No guarantees. If I can’t, I’ll see you in 2015. “Paging, Dr. Turmell…”
