07/03/07 Believe it or not, it has been a year since I have written the entry below.. wow..
Another summer is here, to enjoy and live to the fullest. My internship ordeal is almost
over, and with that, perpetual stress, hellish commuting trips to the Bay Area, and long,
hard hours of community mental health work. Not that satisfactions have not been there..
but I am so GLAD IS OVER I can sing and dance for joy!!
It was a boot-camp of sort, a character-forming, harsh-and-rich-at-the-same-time experience,
which I do not look forward to repeat. And repeat it I shall not.
Because an intern I will soon be no more. That time is gone, and new experiences lie ahead.
After Italy, after vacations, after ME.

I am seriously considering, after I come back, to leave for Iowa for a few weeks
for a boost in my consciousness-development, and to regain perspective on my life,
my professional development, and my future.
I am not so clear about what I really want to do from here, though I have a general idea:
to provide holistic, integrated care to people in need.
Yet, I feel confused how to go about. Where to get post-doc hours.
Where to live. I am definitely in need of some clarity.

I am confident I will find the right professional path, and work that will be
good and nurturing for both my clients and myself.
That is when you know that what you do is right. Both parties win.
I believe that if the care provider feels drained and burdened,
the care given lacks value, completeness, and sense.
I will strive to find work that will be fulfilling, on all fronts, for all.
To reach this goal, I will make sure my spiritual development continues strong,
as I know that to be the bases for everything else in my Manifest life.

With that, blessings, peace and joy to you all, my friends!
