Mended Heart
Swaddled in Blue
Haiku:
Once blue teardrops fell
Now, swaddled in blue fleece, son!
My blue heart mended

New Year, New Career
Transitioning Out of a Helping Profession I’m on a Facebook group for speech therapists who want to leave the field. Many feel overworked, underpaid, or feel that the profession just isn’t a match for who they are. But it’s not so easy to leave. We’re wearing the shiny, copper handcuffs. They’re definitely not golden as I’ve never been able to afford an Audi from this profession. But, this career has offers just enough financial comfort to discourage starting something new. Part of the problem I’ve noticed when talking with other speech therapists or reading their stories is that we don’t know what else we could do. And, I think that may have something to do with the role models we’ve seen growing up.

They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)
