feeling the love.

i can't begin to describe the feelings i've felt during the past 24 hours.

i've been beyond nervous for the past few days/months 

preparing for my licensure exam. i tried to prepare myself

for both outcomes, passing or failing.

the goal of becoming an lcsw, a licensed clinical social worker

has been a dream & goal of mine since my early years as a social

work undergraduate student at western carolina.

i've never felt my heart beat as fast as it did yesterday as i waited

for the instant results to appear after i completed the 170

multiple choice questions in the stale, chilly computer testing room.

once the words PASSED appeared i was overwhelmed with

comfort and relief. the testing center lady was sweet & told me to relax

now that it was all over. she was kind & probably thought i was crazy. 

slim came home with beautiful yellow tulips and the

sweetest card. he always writes the most sincere & loving cards.

my amazingly fabulous cori, along with other colleagues

showered me with office signage & congratulations & email love.
