I also love that you're unapologetically addicted to Starbucks. I too am a fan. I don't know if you keep a journal when you travel, but I wanted to let you know that I have a book coming out in the spring called “Writing Away, a Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Keeping Traveler.” I hope you’ll check it out. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with your journey...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778470040348949734.post-20162746340402876072008-11-09T21:19:00.000-05:002008-11-09T21:19:00.000-05:00i know i'm a little late on the comments on this o...i know i'm a little late on the comments on this one, but it made me think of a song lyric...<BR/>"i won't regret, cause you can grow flowers, from where dirt used to be."<BR/>-merry happy by kate nash.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15699207727611878632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778470040348949734.post-4862068947126496512008-11-07T17:35:00.000-05:002008-11-07T17:35:00.000-05:00You're so refreshing.

What about just taking ...That is an awesome quote. <BR/><BR/>What about just taking the classes you really need to take to get started? My husband doesn't have a degree in what he does (computer related), but commits to constantly learning more. In tech fields, often what you learn in school is outdated by the time you graduate. If you take courses to get to a point where you can score an internship or job in the field, you'll learn so much more than you would in a classroom. And since you already have a degree, you don't need another piece of paper. You can always take more classes to learn new things as you go.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603700427096296937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778470040348949734.post-70054801827550827762008-11-07T07:30:00.000-05:002008-11-07T07:30:00.000-05:00That's good advice.That's good advice.L.C.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03333329468941479571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778470040348949734.post-39372389204394347432008-11-07T01:31:00.000-05:002008-11-07T01:31:00.000-05:00I know we're new bloggie friends (is this the lame...I know we're new bloggie friends (is this the lamest start to a comment, like, EVER?) but I'm really enjoying your writing so much. <BR/><BR/>Just wanted to say that I adore you right back, and I'm really glad this quote struck a chord with you because it has been on my mind continuously since I first read it.nicole antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867096106743131289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778470040348949734.post-38326673341859201782008-11-06T23:50:00.000-05:002008-11-06T23:50:00.000-05:00I absolutely ADORE that quote.
