Please forgive the lessening of posts in the last few weeks. We are going through a lot. My husband lost his job in November and his chronic disease is progressing to the point of preventing him from getting another job. It’s hard not to fall into a sad pathetic pity party. I have been reading a lot of books that are non-fiction, informational, about holistic health. Once I finish them, I’ll write reviews.
I have also decided to go back to school. It may not be this year, but I have accepted that with a struggling economy being a massage therapist is not consistent enough for us. I need something that will provide stability that we need so that we can deal with Rick’s illness. Inconsistency causes stress that makes Rick worse. Nursing seems to be the direction for me. Since I am not pleased with western medicine, I will choose a more holistic approach, hopefully utilizing aromatherapy, massage and anything else I learn along the way.
I have also decided to give up my business. I no longer have the energy or desire to continue with something that takes so much time away from Rick. As of March 1, I will hand over the business side of my job to the chiropractor with whom I work. Also, I will continue to work in that office until late spring, early summer and then we are moving again, to a smaller town up north, either Skagit Valley somewhere or near Bellingham. Snohomish county is too big for us.
On the plus side I will continue with The Modern Hippy. I am trying to recruit a couple of friends to write guest posts. So perhaps this site will continue to grow with new information and different takes on green living. Stay tuned!
