    First my layout about this:
    [​IMG]


    Okay to become a licensed counselor I need another year plus of school plus internships. I've been through Plan A and B (B isn't cancelled just in case). Plan C just was the one but I thought it was too much etc. So I'm in process of applying waiting for transcripts and recommendations. And have been going in circles on those. School "starts" July 29 -- as in I have to go to Denver for a week and financial aid is 2 months later than that. Lots of details and I'm :hairpol
    But all day yesterday the possibility of starting next year has been on my mind and I'd live to actually move to one of their offsite campuses and get this divorce thing behind me. Now that is something I dare not dream of I thought. So appreciate your prayers and good wishes as I make this decision. I could take my electives during this year as well.
    :crazy3

    I may be finding out much that is true. It's like I want to mess things up so the new plan takes over. Trust Trust Trust

    I can cause myself that kind of stress when there are several options. It's only in taking it as everyone says...one step at a time, and just doing what can be done today, just today, that the better choice comes through clearly. A friend reworks that to say Just do the next indicated thing. Some days what is indicated might be a nap or a walk or ice cream.

    I like the quote..."It all works out in the end, and if it hasn't worked out yet, it's not the end." Wishing you calm, clear choices. ~~~~~>Carilyne

    That's what I'm trying to do. Or wait and see what happens next and what direction that seems to be going. It's a horse race.... well maybe a snail race.

    You can do this!

    And one thing my daughter always reminds me about choices... if you think about flipping a coin, the second it goes in the air, you know how you hope it lands, so that is where your heart is. :)

    So true, I laughed because you're right I know where my heart is. I'm afraid of hoping it will go that way if that makes sense.

    Sending you a big hug. I am sure eventually your choice will be down to 1. Try to go for what your heart says is right,or a variation of that. Don't let what you don't really want to do,because it is "sensible" drown out your ambitions to go for what you want.Perhaps talk to your family about "Stop gab help" until your financial aide comes through....
